according to most theorists, no.  They tend to argue that:\n1.) overseas nations are exploited by global corporations\n    *we take their raw materials/use them up for very cheap\n    *we hire their people at extremely low wages\n2.) because of globalization, the gap between the rich and \n    poor is widening\n    *the rich get richer and poor get poorer (we exploit \n     them to make higher profits-the less they make the\n     more we keep)\n3.) I would also add that jobs are taken away from   \n    Americans when factories are moved overseas.\n    *this will hurt our economy b/c we rely on a large \n     middle class of consumers to buy stuff

Globalization is expanding trade between countries throughout the world, but not just trade as in material goods, but culture and knowledge too. The positives are that things tend to become cheaper in general, and relations between countries improve, and cultural trade increases, so people tend to become more tolerant and smarter. The negatives are that industries in a certain country might disappear because of competition from other countries (like fruits in America due to competition from Mexico, for example), and that people tend to become less tolerant because they're forced to meet more people that they'd rather not. So, it's good in general, but bad for certain groups, and these certain groups are large enough that their issues need to be considered.

All the Nations that wanted our technology and our wealth will want globalisation.  The only people in the US that actually gain from globalisation are the rich folks that have corporations in another country.\n\nEverything we need is here.\nEverything that the world need in here.\n\nWill you share your house with any stranger just because your rich neighbor said it is o.k.?\n\n\nBut once the US is at the bottom of the food chain even the US rich folks will be kick out of India or China like dogs.  When that happen our rich folks will parade us with US flags on all the Wal-Mart trucks again.

Globalization is a fact. Question is how. A number of years ago there was this naive theories that everything was going to be nice and neat and that we will all be equals and happy ever after.\n\nNow we know that those visions were naive and to make globalization better then we should work a lot. First of all, controlling the speed of globalization to give people time to adapt themselves should help.\n\nYou can't ask iraqies to became westerners in one week, or ask chinese to abolish any censorship in three days and embrace the internet as it is, and you can't ask americans to happily deal with the fact that jobs exportation and immigrations are reducing their average real income every year.\n\nWe people are not good dealing with differences. We need time to adjust, and then... well... new problems will emerge.

You're question is very interesting.  As you know we are in a globalized world.  This is not the first wave of globalization--it's the third.  The other waves happened centuries ago.  Anyway, because something is sold to someone living outside the borders of the US, doesn't necessarily mean that you will lose your freedoms.  They still have to operate under American law & standards here in the US.

Handicrafts arnt the best example, to be honest. They are a very niche market and wouldnt be worth exporting. Think about cars or machinary parts or something big and worth a lot. Then just describe why other countries might buy them, how you would compete with the existing market in those countries, if there would be a sufficient market to make the export worthwhile and so on.

There is more hope now that things will start to settle down. But don't count on it happening immediatly. Anything concerning politics local to global is like breeding elephants. There's a lot of work, lot of noise, and it's over two years before you see any results.\n\nAnd thanks for the blessing.

So far, economic globalization has hampered diversity in several ways around here. \n\nIt's reduced the number of options people in my community have for work. Most of us, no matter what we invested in our education, or what sort of vocational credentials we have, have had to take jobs in the low-paying retail or food-service sector.\n\nAs our wages dropped, so did the amount of taxes we could pay for public services, and so the condition of our neighborhoods has deteriorated badly. Crimes against property, violent crime, and vice crimes, have increased in the area.\n\nThe people who could afford to move have moved out of state to the few places left where they could find high-paying work. I know of several college graduates who've had to move overseas (one moved to India) in order to work in their field of interest.\n\nHuge, cheap, "big-box" retailers, who outsource the production of their goods overseas, have moved into the area and replaced most of the independently-owned shops, because we could no longer afford to purchase quality products from local producers and retailers.\n\nHonestly, I'm a little worried about economic globalization.

Nope. Gone already. Be prepared to work at McDonald's and Wal-Mart your whole life because America's ability to manufacture ANYTHING has been sold overseas. It's called "outsourcing", the death-knell of America...

No of course not.\n\nIf you have even a reasonable education you are in little danger of losing your job to an illegal.  It's just blatant conservative scare tactics at work.\n\nOutsourcing is a totally different issue.  Guess that's what "globalization" means, though ...

It is great between equals. However it encourages slavery and unethical business practices in cases where it isn't between equals. \n\nIn essence globalization helps the business owners and investors in well off countries. It slows economic progress in countries that aren't well off as owners and investors get to dictate too many terms that they shouldn't have available to them. The only way to correct this situation is to get better laws into 3rd world nations, which owners and investors don't want and, under most of these free trade agreements, have the ability to stop. Or to remove those protection here in the US and let americans be hung out to starve. \n\nMillions of different products are produced in 3rd world nations and shipped to America. Most of the workers making those products aren't paid enough to buy one of the products they make, whether that be roses, batteries, or cars. We are not doing them a favor.

there is only one advantage in the globalisation issue and that is rich US based companies get richer they use cheap third word country people for their work force import cheap inferior products that are sold at premium prices and make high profits. \nthe disadvantages is people are put out of work small businesses are closed down local farmers go broke    in Australia today the large US companies are sending our farmers broke by importing cheap rubbish into the country and refusing to stock Australian products they closing small businesses down by undercutting prices they control must of the supermarkets and fuel outlets they are restricting choices Us industry is even trying to influence our health care system trying to make a user pays system such as the American system. \nI am sorry but I prefer to have free choice I like to buy Australian and support my country  not US profits.  I like to know that if I or any member of my family get sick I can go to hospital for treatment not get turned away because I dint have health insurance. America the land of the free... I think not..

At a top political and economic level, globalization is the process of denationalization of markets, politics and legal systems, i.e., the rise of the so-called global economy. The consequences of this political and economic restructuring on local economies, human welfare and environment are the subject of an open debate among international organizations, governmental institutions and the academic world. This portal does not take part in this debate or offer any information on this matter.\n\nAt a business level, we talk of globalization when companies decide to take part in the emerging global economy and establish themselves in foreign markets. First they will adapt their products or services to the final user's linguistic and cultural requirements. Then, they might take advantage of the Internet revolution and establish a virtual presence on the international marketplace with a multilingual corporate web site or even as an e-business.\n\nIn the context of this portal, globalization is the process of adapting software applications and web sites, so that they are linguistically and functionally suitable for use in more than one country. Overall, globalization requires a combination of linguistic, engineering and marketing knowledge that is not easily available.
