Last week in globalization we
watched two videos on the topic globalization. The videos showcased the pros
and the cons of globalization and how it is affecting the world as we know it.
The one main reason why
globalization is good is it causes items that we want to become cheaper for us
to buy. The reason why globalization causes items to become cheaper is the
materials to make those items can be bought fairly cheap. Also the
manufacturing of the items gives many people jobs in foreign countries that
otherwise may not have a job. That job gives those individuals a life that they
wouldn’t have. Plus the money given to those individuals is then put into the
surrounding economy. Buying foreign made products is not a bad thing it makes
items cheaper, gives people jobs, and boosts economies around the world just by
buying a product made out of the United States.
The two videos that we watched in
globalization weren’t just talking about why globalization is good they both
showed why globalization is bad. One reason why globalization is bad is it affects
the environment by adding more carbon dioxide than we did in 1997. Another
reason why globalization is bad is that it is taking the jobs out of our
country and placing them in other countries, which is good for the other
countries but bad for our country. The United States has been suffering from
unemployment for years, so if we were to take back all of the jobs that are
over in different countries and bring them back to the United States, we would
have plenty of jobs for the whole Unites States.
Globalization is a very huge thing
in the world today. It links us as countries in some ways for the better and
some ways for the worse. Globalization is good for cheap items and foreign
jobs. It is also bad for the United States by polluting the environment and
stealing the jobs rightfully belonging to the people of the U.S. Globalization
has its ups and downs along with everything else.
