Pros and Cons of Globalization



 Pros
  • Allows ingenuity from outside countries (Philippines and Apple)
  • Sharing of cultures (US and Japan)
  • Social tolerance and appreciation (Philippines and Dior)
  • Less travel time (aerial travel)
  • Contributions to global economy (EU)



Cons
  • Technology used for illegal trading of goods via black markets (online drug trading networks)
  • Can promote political discord like money laundering, corruption, and governmental subversion
  • Exploitation of humans (older men talking to pre-teen girls via social networking.)
  • Elite jobs are vulnerable to abroad operations.
  •  Companies only focus on profiting instead of fulfilling public missions (Inhumane working conditions for Amazon company workers)

  1. Cayo, thanks for posting. I wonder what you mean when you say that globalization can promote things like corruption and government subversion. Why do you think that? Where have you seen it happen?
