Globalization few topics have so sharply divided contemporary society or made emotions run so high globalisation has split the world into 2 camps the winners every economist will tell you that trade is a net benefit for society and the losers the rise issue is like that suze p. S. V. The shop aside hes the site that hes used to that small to me country. Globalization has become a battle cry but its hard to define exactly what it is. Claimed was asian is that why the native boundaries. Of the National Economy to a Global Economy. And integrating a free flow of information trade and sometimes people. Some say that globalization offers hope but it also stokes. Fears of this could be much of just a few days a lot of people are anxious about their future and leaving this mission their lives are not as predictable as they were 20 or 30 years ago. The lies ation is changing the world faster than ever and making it smaller. Scales with some globalization means you can be in any part of the world in just 24 hours of it like. Others say that it promotes economic exploitation. And if a few people profit massively at the expense of the majority. What are the fallacies of globalization and what are the facts behind those misconceptions. Is globalization unfair. Globalization promises prosperity for all and there is no doubt that many have benefited from it but that prosperity can be found only in a small number of countries. That need most of their lies ations seem very much to be a high profile move the ball sports that are calling it. Germany is one of them its Auto Industry continues to fuel the economy exports are booming and earn billions in profits for German Companies. But many people in germany are nevertheless critical of globalization. Economist at keles institute for the World Economy studies the effects of globalization on society and the economy is so to speak global globalization has an image problem on the public discussion doesnt take into account the positive. Side of the disc that exports have created new jobs sort of thats a good fit top of this of us but some like the shuffle at. Benedicts comma of micro finance start up of amo says that globalization has lots of positives. Yes boy germany is absolutely one of the winners sometimes we forget how well were doing take vacations would love. To do but its a lot of people can now travel to faraway places that my grandparents couldnt even have dreamt of going to israel or the us and. Im sure that he finished early but many people ignore the fact that globalization provides us with a much wider variety of products and at much lower prices than in the past isnt us. We couldnt afford a lot of those products if we had to make them ourselves and we profit from the fact that many of them come from low wage countries take china for example china transformed itself from a developing country into the Worlds Largest export nation within just a few decades by opening its economy and investing in new technology. China has lifted 800000000 people out of poverty thats thats the greatest Development Achievement in history. Around the world the number of People Living in extreme poverty has fallen sharply thanks to globalization. In 1900 they numbered about 2000000000 by 2015 the figure had fallen to about 700000000. Jackson an economist and declared critic of growth is a professor at the university of Surrey Jackson believes that the reduction in poverty is only part of the story. The case. For globalization is very much the idea thats in expanding the Global Economy rising tide would lift all boats. If you just expand the economy than sooner or later the poorest will be richer. Globalization and free trade may bring some prosperity to many people but it also widens the gap between rich and poor around the world the richest 10 percent now only 90 percent of the wealth the poorest 50 percent own just 0. 2 percent. Doesnt really matter whether the rich got richer as well or how much they got richer as well as long as you list as people from the bottom then youre doing the job that globalization should do. Globalization encourages capital to flow to places that offer maximum profits thats good for those who the invested in shares of International Corporations and free markets can benefit countries that have a highly developed economy. But wide open markets can have a devastating effect on countries where the economy is less developed. Even tougher coming from cameroon isnt antiglobalization activist Francisco Mari works for the bread for the World Organization both call for fair trade between africa and the western industrial nations to look good on this its from spain. Thats right and we should be reminded that because of their reproduction even you know sitting out there probably could produce cheese this is really. 4 hours this from from europe. Food products from europe are stocked in many shops here some of that food is heavily subsidized by the European Union so its often lie. Less expensive than food grown by local farmers. I usually use the term dumping because theyre there for 2 or 3 times cheaper than the products so the competition is definitely very unfair. What does this competition mean for the farmers here like many african nations senegal is a predominantly rural country 4 out of 5 people here earn their living from agriculture. The goods over. Which it was one of those farmers is lamine dione know. What do you grow millet. And such in the here are some of the products that we sell this is not good this is the low the bun ok but this is militant you see the it is but youre not getting a good price or not at all because of exploitation by the europeans. Is it ok. Let means father and grandfather work this land but now we imports from europe are threatening his livelihood and he cant afford to send his children to school. In. The good book with a deposit you see so i have to spend a lot of money on fertilizer and extra workers and im going to be paid is good i like these imports to stop that we can get better prices. So we have to work really hard here. And that always should be pursued. So economic competition creates both winners and losers Francisco Marini sums up the situation the speed freshmen be off theres a lot of competition may produce more winners. But it also produces more who have no chance at all of the google kind of thing because i dont think globalization has made good on its promise to benefit everyone and thus i look for stuff and sort of. Does globalisation take away jobs. Globalization creates International Competition for the best and cheapest production conditions. Experts estimate that some 12000000 jobs in germany japan directly on exports. Thats more than a quarter of the workforce. In germany exports help us to preserve the jobs that we have and to create new jobs shuffleboard. But the globalized economy has brought radical changes to the workplace. Keith rockwell has been the World Trade Organization chief spokesman since 1906 he says technological change is the greatest challenge of our time. When was the last time you went to a travel agent. The last time you talked to a bank teller these jobs are disappearing because people do things in a very different way. Germany continues to thrive mostly because of its Strong Technology base its often touted as a winner of globalization a misconception. Look at leats was managing director of germanys largest manufacturer of solar modules the past few years were tough on the company. But was an employee. Thats really sad to go to the factory and to see that production is pretty much shut down the whole herd. As for the. Solar World Industries filed for insolvency for the 2nd time in 2018. Just a few years earlier the company had over 3000 employees the future looked promising not least because solar world receive generous subsidies from the german government. China discovered the lucrative solar module production market and provided big subsidies for new companies in this sector low priced chinese modules were soon turning up everywhere. For the Global Market is a good thing but you cant compete against price dumping on. In 2013 the u. S. And the e. U. Imposed antidumping tariffs on china. But Chinese Companies got around the penalties by sending their solar modules to taiwan vietnam and malaysia and exporting them from their. Solar world and other German Companies in the sector suffered as a result of globalization. It was just brutal he was he the lost their jobs i knew most of our workers and it was like a family here a great place to work he wanted and false toil. The last solar module rolled off the production line and fired back in september 28th. And 1300 people were left unemployed. And he mentioned some of the workers took it pretty hard for particularly since the politicians were always telling us that something had to be done to fight Climate Change inside the. King while one of them was in what thats one of. The collapse of the Solar Industry in germany has eliminated about 25000 jobs most of them in the eastern part of the country. Overall globalization has been good for germany but as weve seen here there are some glaring exceptions. Anita engels is a sociologist at the university of hamburg she studies the effects of globalization on the environment and society. I think your entire regions of germany are losing something that defines them for decades and also it gave them confidence and a feeling of strength. At a cost summit. When globalization destroys jobs the Political Climate also changes. On conciseness to globalise that weve seen that globalization can contribute to the growth of populism. To speak your many regions that have been hit hard by globalization tend to vote for more extreme Political Parties to try and solve it. In the 2016 us president ial election donald trump it especially well in those parts of the country that had been affected by global competition. And the job market will continue to change radically in the years to come if. We estimated that by 203080 percent of the new jobs that are going to be created dont exist today what will the jobs of the future be how do we bring these to peoples attention and how do we prepare them to fulfill these jobs. Generally speaking germanys economy is well prepared to deal with this situation but its an ongoing process no country can afford to relax in a globalized economy that is constantly changing. Is global migration destroying our world. In 2015 large numbers of migrants started to arrive in europe from africa syria and cause of all. The while many risked their lives thousands drowned many of them were desperate to escape war and persecution. Others simply wanted the chance to earn a decent living this too is part of globalization to build up the images was so strong that many people felt the huge numbers of migrants were like a flood by feeling. Many germans immediately offered to help the new arrivals and make them feel welcome. To. The arms of feels good stuff is often. Done of ones actually but we had no idea how many people were coming or who they were. In germany some people feel threatened by the migrants. Was. That. Europe was. Divided on the issue of migration and how to deal with it some countries saw the democratic order under threat. The continent was overwhelmed by the arrival of some 3300000 in the space of 3 years. To some of the other regions are experiencing more serious situations like all the people migrating north from Central America in dalton. The u. N. Says that 2300000 people left venezuela in 2018 alone. And often causes and in africa some countries like uganda have taken in millions of people from somalia and eritrea who are fleeing conflicts it would feast. In 2015 the total number of migrants worldwide was estimated at 2c4x3w7xw of them had fled from conflict zones. Most moved to nearby countries only a few embarked on longer and more dangerous journeys to other continents just leave muslims migrants feel enormously threatened otherwise they wouldnt do it its not an easy decision to go on kind of like for the gun charges. Its a fallacy that global migration only creates problems for the host nations to the migrants home countries lose workers and intellectual potential and with a. Lot of good little dong. Follow on deal is studying philosophy at the university of the car in senegal. On sundays a lot of the students play soccer. Or they meet up with their friends there are about 100000 students in senegal. By the end of it and. Jobs for University Graduates are scarce here. No one is good on the move. The girl will also have kids not that we want to leave our homeland but at some point. Well probably have to come what. If we cant find a job when we finish our studies things will start to get complicated. So all a lot of us will have to leave your song is it. Normal was. If more educated young people like fallon stayed in senegal they could help build the economy but at the same time theres a shortage of skilled workers in many western countries. Caught it in their soft some societies are aging rapidly and that will push their social welfare systems to the limit. That these countries will need immigrants to help them deal with the challenge on the long term basis on scones in lungs. Esteem issues by living. Migration has been changing the face of our world for thousands of years there are many positive sides to migration but in the 21st century it has become a major problem. As the global population grows and environmental conditions deteriorate migration will continue to rise. Does globalization create peace. September 11th 2001 of the wrecked attack on the heart of International Trade it seemed that globalization produced its own fanatical enemies. But wasnt globalisation supposed to produce conflicts. Jackson explains that argument the phrase for the free market was we as human beings have a natural propensity. He to truck barter and trade is actually are an inherent human quality to trade with each other and this trade is a kind of civilizing influence on the world if youre trading with someone youre not fighting with and. The history of globalization has always been closely linked to the war and peace. At the start of the 20th Century Global trade was at a new all time high. But in 1029 the u. S. Stock market crash kicked off the great depression. Germany was hit hard by the crisis. In 1030 the us sought to protect its economy by imposing tariffs on many imported goods other countries followed suit. Germany tried to make its economy selfsufficient was. It was a dangerous mixture of protectionism and nationalism. But after world war 2 it seemed that only free trade and prosperity would ensure lasting peace. In 194723 nations signed a general agreement on tariffs and trade or gatt this created a framework for International Trade that is still in place today. The motivations for it were a broadly humanitarian and social they were certainly to some extent about cementing the particular configuration of political power that came out of the 2nd world war. The western industrial states pursued a policy of free trade is also led to an economic boom in west germany on the votes of good contacts not up on. The 1950 s. Postwar prosperity it was referred to as the economic miracle and ultimately led to the triumph of capitalism. Over communism. The fall of the berlin wall signaled the end of this ideological conflict. It seemed that overcoming borders would lead to a lasting end to war i think the best example of trade bringing peace that i can i can think of is the creation of the European Union. Having france and germany inextricably tied to each other as partners its very hard to imagine a conflict arising between these 2 great friends. The era of world wars had come to an end but with the fall of the iron curtain a series of regional conflicts took center stage. There are seldom been as many of these conflicts as there are today many of them are fueled by the struggle to acquire natural resources. For example in the democratic republic of congo a country rich in mineral deposits. A metallic war called contains elements that are used in the manufacture of many high Tech Products when you can have an easy access to cheap was all says then the tension between civilizing power of trade and. Presses. That can be wildly more easily with military force can go. Armed groups fight to control valuable resources that command large sums on Global Markets these conflicts often impoverished local residents and force them to flee. You see dictators lee staying in power for so many years just because behind there is a lobby just because behind their moats nationals. The International Competition for food resources exacerbates the problem millions of people in africa are starving while their governments sell farmland to foreign. They compensate towers in some tarzans of hectares of land leave the poor communities die and then you want to create a big multinational Food Industry that will not even feed the coming u. T. S. Its used for exports ocean to feed the reach of countries. So perhaps its a fallacy that free trade always leads to peace. And you have these imbalances. And thats the point at which in a civilized trade it stops being fair and becomes a form of aggressive conflict. Is globalization a disaster for the planet. The world is your level isolation has enabled us to export a specific model of Economic Growth and wealth around the world. Yet but its based on an incredible wastage of resources fashion. So were producing position as a systematic accompaniment to prosperity he says forced on. Goods are often produced in countries that have relatively few regulations cheap labor and weak <
