Globalization

After reading the book, "How Soccer Explains the World," and watching films such as "Capitalism: A Love Story" and "Pelada," I have a new perspective on my feelings towards globalization. From my understanding, globalization goes hand in hand with capitalism, which in many ways can be poor for economies. I do not pretend to be an expert on the subject of world economics, but from my viewpoint, globalization seems to be a negative idea for the masses. From my understanding, it offers the mega rich an easy and unethical way to get richer, and does not help the middle and lower class citizens in our country. Again, I don't understand most aspects of globalization. However, the spike in globalization rates in the last 30 years has been detrimental to the world economy. On the other hand, a global unity can be seen as a good thing. Different cultures in the world are going to have to continue to accept each other, and learn how to coexist if we are to survive in the world.


Views on Globalization will depend on how one feels the economy should function. Personally, I think that working from the top down is a bad way to solve our economic problems. However, a large number disagree with me and will feel better about globalizaion.
