Nothing is wrong with globilization

it's a necessary step of human solidarity

 

Please explain how globalization is linked to solidarity. If I buy a made in China product, I have absolutely no solidarity for the chinese worker, most of the money goes to the bosses who often are Westerners.

 

Normative questions make shitty debates.

 

Globalization has nothing to do with solidarity. Do you really think all those big corparations give a big rats a** about solidarity. Their only concern is the almighty buck, whether it's Pounds, Yen, Dollars, Yuan, Rubles, it don't matter. They care less what their doing to this planet, they don't have to live in squallor or de-nuded forests.
Human solidarity **** in a pigs eye.

 

He has 100% right!

It's al part of human evolution.
The GLobal economy, our future

 

May I see your economics-degree, before saying such 'strange' things, sir?

 

I, myself, never liked the idea of globalization. I always found life less interesting where everything is so broad and connected. That's just one of many many reasons I don't support it.

In fact, I've debated leading a very isolated life, just to escape it. Which I probably will.

It's only my personal prefference, though.

 

I agree, although instead of complete isolation, I would rather escape industrialisation and westernization. Everything is becoming too homogenous.

 

Globalism benefits employers because it is difficult to unionize employees across national borders. Globalism means lower prices but even lower wages, and thus a lower standard of living for most people.

 

The way globalization is currently being implemented looks like its going to suck with the loss of rights and corporations owning everything but I believe it is enevitable if our global culture is going to expand. How can we not start thinking globaly as the differences in our world are shrinking?

 

Before it is all said and done it the rich elite will hold all of the money and we will all have sold our souls to the company store. As jobs are shifted to economically depressed areas where the wages are much much cheaper, people will be forced to take jobs that pay less and less. A global recession will not harm the people who have money now. It only inhibits our ability to make money. We are heading towards a dual class system in which the super rich will govern the slave class. Currently 20% of the people in the world hold 80% of the money in the world. Imagine how bad things will be when 2% of the people hold 98% of the money.

Human solidarity? What is solid about the division between first, second and third world countries? Nothing.

 

Globalisation is good for poor countries ,if their country is run properly (eg China, Vietnam). For rich countries the immediate effect is for them to become less rich, this is evident in Europe and North America , but overall this is a good phenomenon.
Those who say that corporations would like to keep everyone poor know nothing about ecnomics. Corporations and capitalist business wants to make money.In order to make money they need more people to buy their products, the more people with money the better it is for them. Why do you think American and Japanese companies oporated in loss for years in China? cheap labour? no! They want access to China's emerging market . The rise of the Chinese middle class is what might save the world's economy. Globalisation has brought amazing wealth to China. Not only to the upper class (like in badly managed countries such as Russia) but to millions upon millions of Chinese people.

Most economic problems in the world are because of mismanagement. Africa is the perfect example. East Asia is the opposite example. With good management more people have access to information, health and wealth. Indeed if globalisation works well , we will get closer than ever to universal brotherhood. Through things like Google, W.H.O, World Bank, Youtube, MTV, Starbucks and the BBC.

That's how I view globalization. Trade by itself isn't going to improve a country. The government's domestic economic policies,corruption fighting and laws are what's needed to turn poor countries around.

Why are African countries like Botswana and Ghana becoming political and economic models for the rest of Africa? Because of their leaders.

 

Globalization is cool. Don't mind giving away american jobs and speaking spanish in the near future...

 

globalization, demented liberty, and the slave state are most definitely, not cool..

you are all tools

 

How is globalization a good thing? The corporations run the whole godless world as it is. Corporations have the power to control us with out restriction because we submit to their control. When the entire world is globalized, and all of the governments combine to be one, it will be much easier for the fortune 500 to control us all. Corporations control the government, if there is one government, one entity to control, which in turn, controls the entire ingnorant world. and we have no control of it because WE are the ones which enable the corporations and WE are the ones that are brainwashed to want to buy the hottest and newest thing. everything is obsolete after three weeks, forcing you to buy new. spend more money fueling the fucking corporate machine that we call the united states government, and soon to be the world.

 

true that Topher D

 

globalization is nothing more then the enslavement of the peoples of the world. globalization is based on a system of greed. we need to move away from a moneyry based system and into one of love there is more then enough for us all to survive and be happy. there is no need for a world driven by profit. when people start to open there hearts and minds and they actually start to care for one another then we shall have the utopian world that is so easily attainable.
