the issue of Globalization

i know the white racists won't bother reading this as they likely believe eveything outside of their narrow minded
beliefs is bullshit

globalization has weakened the position of poor countries and exposed poor people to harmful competition due to competition among workers, or foreign investment, or trade, or government borrowing
globalization increases opportunities for the wealthy more rapidly than for the poor

Global poverty report (pdf format)

read the link titled
Does globalization diminish cultural diversity?

There are many reasons to think that globalization might undermine cultural diversity:

* multinational corporations promote a certain kind of consumerist culture, in which standard commodities, promoted by global marketing campaigns exploiting basic material desires, create similar lifestyles--"Coca-Colanization"
* backed by the power of certain states, Western ideals are falsely established as universal, overrriding local traditions--"cultural imperialism"
* modern institutions have an inherently rationalizing thrust, making all human practices more efficient, controllable, and predictable, as exemplified by the spread of fast food--"McDonaldization"
* the United States exerts hegemonic influence in promoting its values and habits through popular culture and the news media--"Americanization"


guess there are two sides to every story eh?
