Globalization?

Username333 · Feb 13, 2011

?Globalization has enabled individuals and nation-states to influence and be influenced by actions and events around the world?faster, deeper than ever before. Globalization has led to the vanishing of many cultural barriers and has the potential for expanding freedom, democracy, innovation, social and cross-cultural exchanges while offering outstanding opportunities for cultural respect and understanding.?

Can someone interpret what each sources are trying to say?(Rather the Economic, political or social view) and The SOURCE's perspectives on the principles of globalization?
Also, how do these all relate to each other? I mean, source 1's perspective is rather the opposite of each comic.. is it not?
Sorry, its just that i don't understand what these sources are saying and what THEIR perspectives on globalization is... if someone could clarify or discuss the ideas behind these sources, that would be great.

Thank you.

Globalization is simply another way for the robber barons to increase their profit margins, nothing more. It is in effect, an economic conspiracy, much of it controlled by the Jews.

That is your opinion. And you have every right to feel that way. But I hate "
Globalization". I know it makes many people mad when I say that. But I have the right to feel that way too.

Trade deficits, GDP and median wage.

Username, I do not refute the advantages of globalization but trade deficits are detrimental to their nations’ GDPs. R efer to the topics of:

“Reduce the trade deficit; increase GDP & median wage” was last posted to on July 15, 2011

or “ Trade deficits are ALLWAYS economically detrimental to their nation ” which was posted on March 26, 2010; (I misspelled “always”).

Or refer to the sites of:

People that like it now have learned (or been taught) to like it. Some of us will never like it. I never liked it. But when a company 8 miles away shut down and moved out of the U.S. then raised their prices it rubbed me a bit. This was a company I had worked for and my wife worked there for 12 years and lost her health insurance as well as her job.

Many such cases happen everyday. It is fine for them to move out. But we should never be dumb enough to deal with them when they leave. I don't have a lot of money, but I will pay more for made in the USA.

Dodge FB, wage earning families benefit from cheaper imported goods but every day of every year they’re dependent upon their U.S. wages.
Regardless of how small the additions to imports’ prices due to Import Certificates, (unlike tariffs) USA’s assessed imports could never exceed that of our exports. Its desirable U.S. consumers be able to purchase cheap, (but not the absolute cheapest) imported goods. We cannot afford the absolute cheapest.

The absolute cheapest prices of imported goods do not compensate for losses of U.S. industries and jobs due to our continuous annual trade deficits.

Proponents of pure free trade defend global trade as if that’s the problem. This proposal would increase the sum of USA’s aggregate imports plus exports but it would prevent our imports from exceeding the assessed values of our annual exports.

I didn’t present any argument for trade deficits’ detriments to their nations’ GDPs because no one indicated any interest in this topic. In response to MYP I just posted an argument within the topic “ Trade deficits are ALLWAYS economically detrimental to their nation”.

I don't know what "strong argument" MYP refers to that refutes what I have posted.

May be you are right but it is the globalization that has given the chance to expansion of the business and increases the opportunities of the business world and for the job seekers as well.

you r right !

I agree that globalisation is, overall, good for the world economy. What I would disagree with is that some nations are losers in the process of globalisation, AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES! Pre-globalization, America had comparatively high wages and a healthy manufacturing sector producing a low unemployment rate while places like China were dirt-poor and had a lot of unemployment and/or underemployment. If the United States reaches a global equilibrium where wages and living standards are lower and unemployment is higher than America enjoyed previously, just how did that benefit us?

It's a broad term and it keeps on growing. We are part of the globalization.

U.S. global trade deficit of goods.

Skeptic-F, I’m not among those that do not recognize the net harm a nation’s global trade deficit inflicts upon their individual economies.
Refer to the misspelled topic “Trade deficits are ALLWAYS economically detrimental to their nation”, last posted on 08-05-2011 08:56 AM.

I’m not among those that acknowledge the harm but do not seek or acknowledge any feasible remedies to those harms.
Its desirable U.S. consumers be able to purchase cheap, (but not the absolute cheapest) imported goods. The absolute cheapest prices of imported goods do not compensate for U.S. industries and job losses due to our continuous annual trade deficits.

it is batter if you can rationally explain your feeling . hate or love of such an abstract subject doesn't mean any thing .

It does not mean anything to you. Just like you not understanding why does not mean anything to me. No one really gives a damn why I don't like being in the "Global" mix. They just don't like me feeling that way. I quit trying to explain it long ago. It is like explaining why I like one kind of pie better and other people like another. It is just the way it is and always will be.

Why should I like having to deal the all the global crap when we have more problems here than we can deal with. But no, we have to stick our bill in their business and worry about if they like what we do here. I don't really care what they like and they don't really care what we like. Just a bunch of two faced ass-holes lying to each other and the world much of the time.

It mean a lot to me to listen to other people explaining therr point of view .some times they inspire me .

That is not necessarily true. I know it is not true when it comes to my feelings towards your opinions. My problem with your viewpoint is not that you have it, but that you have based it on some supporting points that have been proven wrong and you are not willing to adequately respond to my points on why some of your ideas are flawed. There are opinions and then there is logic. The first you can think whatever you want. The second, you can't just say you don't want to believe it without having a logical argument yourself.

And all that aside you underplay the tremendous amount of global trade that occurred during your lifetime and even before it. Countries have traded with each other for thousands of years- from the Egyptian empire to the Greek empire to the Romans. You sometimes give the vibe that this is something new and scary. That annoys me.

Globalization?
