Anti-Globalization

Globalization is not about spreading wealth and democracy. It is about

allowing capital to chase profit around the world. In case of globalization the
difference between poorest countries and richest countries are growing rapidly.
Globalization is not a benefit for those countries, who exports raw
materials and imports manufactured goods. For example, China exports their
goods around the world and they have huge benefit from this. Another example,
African countries which exports a lot of raw materials such as cotton, diamonds
and minerals and their economic doesnt grows at all.
Since globalization exists there are anti-globalist movements. They are
fighting against unemployment, pollution and such bad things which are caused
by globalization. Entering world market you are facing global competition.
Companies must have low prices and good quality products to compete in a
worldwide market. The best way to keep low prices is to lower wages. In case of
this big companies are moving their jobs overseas to poor countries.
Governments of poor countries dont thinks about pollution, because they get
taxes from companies and lower unemployment level.
In conclusion, I want to say that globalization cannot be stopped, because
with all disadvantages it provides much more advantages.
