I chose these two entries :-

Joseph Stiglitz
The basic idea that Joseph glitz talks about is how globalizations hadn’t worked out the same way that most people thought it would. The first thing he talks about is the increasing inequality between the rich and the poor between the people around the world and sometimes within the same country and the fact that globalization has something to do with that. I agree with him on the idea that technology and the education required to use technology have allowed countries like Africa to fall behind which has increased the disparities between rich and poor countries which definitely is a cause of globalization. The international rules of trade are specifically laid down by developed countries such as the U.S and the EU and their agreements usually make the poor countries worst off, this makes sense for those agreements are usually in the interest of the countries that make them. Many people had hoped that with globalization growth rates would be higher; in fact they’re on average lower! And there have been a hundred crises in the last thirty years. All this means that globalization has had a general negative effect on the whole world.

Globalization!
I am going to talk about “no choice”, because of how effective and meaningful that word is. No choice means no democracy, it means that individuals no longer have the choice of their own lifestyle and how they chose to live their lives. Advertisements and logos are everywhere they surround our lives from almost every angle they’re on the streets, TV, radio, cars, subways, petrol stations etc. So people do not have the choice to see them or not, and because they are designed to attract and lure people into its purpose, you no longer have the choice but to fall into its trap. These days people do not buy products because they need them, they buy products because they were convinced by the well-designed ad that it’s what they want. Advertisements have become so powerful

    The author of the book, professor Ha-Joon Chang, is not a globalization critic, however, all along the book he points out the harmful policies driving globalization. He takes a historical approach to answer the question of how less developed and poor countries became rich. Chang believes that international trade is essential in order to achieve economic development. Nevertheless, he admits many neo-liberal economic policies are not only hypocritical but also damaging to developing nations.…

    For some people, globalization is so feared it is synonymous with world destruction. In the end, for all we know, maybe this will be proven before it is over. In reality however, there are many good things that have resulted from globalization(1, Premise). Let’s for a moment focus on the economy, even though there are many other advantages that have been brought forward that will also be discussed. Many Americans do not appreciate how efficient our markets are, in this case efficiency in reference to supply and demand is number one. These efficient markets allow economies to grow. As many have learned in a global world, when one economy grows, it spurs growth in all the other economies that are connected to it. In this way, reverberations of success are felt across the world, even when they are most profound in one area. Needless to say, this is a very good thing. This is partially a result of what I just mentioned, but wealth equality around the world goes much deeper than that. Perhaps a better phrase than wealth equality is “standard of living.” Globalization does several things that are undeniable at the end of the day. First and foremost for one it creates jobs, which is a priority to the economic success of any market(2, Premise). Along with job creation it improves infrastructure while it also allows more people to live at a higher global level every day. Mainly regular access to medicine, clean water, food production, housing, etc., things we take for granted here in the United States. Many if not most third world countries do not share these same day to day things we categorize as necessities. Things they would refer to as luxuries. Globalization results in partnerships between countries and organizations, which in turn could help bring these countries along in many of these areas. This also makes relations much more stable between both. Agreements are much more frequently found by partners of vast…

    Merriam-Webster (2013) defines globalization as “the development of an increasingly integrated global economy marked especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labor markets” (n.p.). Globalization did not start with just the economy. The ideas of globalization can be traced essentially back to the origins of man when they began to move from equatorial Africa. Next were the Europeans trading for silk and spices with the Far East, eventually leading to the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus traveling to the West in an effort to find a shorter route to their foreign trade partners. Modern day globalization began to come about after World War II. This was mainly due to countries such as Sri Lanka, India, and some in South America gaining independence and establishing their own trade relations with the rest of the world as they now had their own economy. With increased global economies, came the United Nations (UN) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) which was established to aid in settling commercial and trade disputes. So while seen as something relatively modern in our age, globalization can be traced to the beginning of time and has continued to evolve over the centuries (Larchi,…

    There can be many different opinions on this topic, like how not all people can sustain prosperity. Globalization can help a large group of people or hurt a large group of people, people that can afford the product that is shipped over is more likely to maintain sustainable prosperity, same as for the people that are selling. Then there is the people who can not afford to buy these products and those who do not have enough resources to sell to others. Not all people have the benefits of these so that is why the extent globalization contributes to sustainable prosperity for all people is a false accusation, people should understand that the greater group is not being affected and still can not sustain prosperity.…

    This chapter gives an over view concept of what globalization entails. The chapter gives a great description and definition of the concept: “Globalization is a holistic, or systematic, set of structures, dynamics, functions or goals, internal constraints, and external impediments”. All of this is relative to the exchange of goods, services, e-goods, information, ect. In other definition, globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. The most interesting thing I got from this chapter is the history of globalization. The chapter goes into detail about the triangular commerce of the 15th century. According to unesco.org, The transatlantic slave trade is often regarded as the first system of globalization. The transatlantic slave trade, often known as the triangular trade, connected the economies of three continents. This site also states, that it is estimated that between 25 to 30 million people, men, women and children, were deported from their homes and sold as slaves in the different slave trading systems. In the transatlantic slave trade alone the estimate of those deported is believed to be approximately 17 million. These figures exclude those who died aboard the ships and in the course of wars and raids connected to the trade. This chapter then goes into how globalization affects people today; I thought the chapter touched on a great point about how people in places like Bangladesh are now using mobile and…

    Some definitions of globalization focus solely on cross-border trade-for example, globalization as the absence of borders and barriers to trade between nations (Ohmae, 1995). The International Monetary Fund describes globalization as "the growing economic interdependence of countries worldwide through the increasing volume and variety of cross border transactions in goods and services and of international capital flows, and also through the more rapid and widespread diffusion of technology". Although these definitions convey a sense of dynamic change and boundary they portray the outcomes of globalization too narrowly. Brown (1992) defined globalization as the interconnections between the overlapping interests of business and…

    What can two dollars buy you? A small coffee at Starbucks, a candy bar, bag of chips, and a soda, a slice of pizza. For nearly three billion people, approximately half of the world 's population, two dollars a day is all the money that the person has to live on. Moreover, of the 2.2 billion children in the world, 1 billion grow up in poverty; 640 million without adequate shelter, 400 millions with no access to safe water, and 270 million with no access to health services (UNICEF 2005). One proposed reason for this harsh reality of high poverty rates is globalization - the growing integration of economies and societies around the world. The claim that globalization generates poverty has been the focus of many debates for the last twenty years, including the debate between Carlos Caretto, Gillian Crowl, Steve Grossman, and Annie Wong on February 21, 2005. Caretto and Crowl argued that poverty is an indirect result of globalization as is evident by high unemployment rates, wage inequality, and diminishing health and educational programs. Grossman and Wong contended that globalization does not generate poverty, but it in fact helps the world by promoting education, decreasing and shortening the length of wars, and increasing new resources. Close examination of the facts presented in lectures, readings, and the debates shows that each side presents logical evidence, but the facts confirm that globalization does in fact generate poverty.…
