Answer #1: I think it is definitely a better place in the point of view we know have access to tons of different information and goods, besides it created my career international trade. I really can't imagine how the world would be without globalization but I guess the half of items of our houses won't be there.
ResponderBorrarAnswer to Q1: I think globalization is a good thing. It improves trading, and increases the amount of wealth being created, and also it’s not only economic but cultural too.
ResponderBorrarRegarding question #6: I believe that globalization is not to blame for the problems we have today but the answer can be found in it, we need to find cleaner ways to keep producing the goods we consume on a daily basis - and the only way to do that is working as a team.
ResponderBorrar#5. It has caused problems such as: climate change, loss of biological diversity, soil deterioration, deforestation and forest degradation, pollution of continental and marine waters, destruction of the ozone layer and accumulation of pollutants. etc.
ResponderBorrarQuestion 2: I think it has not affected all countries equally. unfortunately globalization occurs simultaneously when countries can have opportunities to exchange information, money, merchandise, etc. I believe that it has reached each and every one of the countries, but not the whole country is affected by globalization.
ResponderBorrarAnswer #3: United States, Russia and China. Also Korea, but not so much

ResponderBorrarAnswer 7: I believe it will lead to more conflict. The more new technologies that are available, the more people will be trying to compete for them, to outdo them or to obtain them. It is also important to consider the environmental damage caused by globalization and a possible war for resources.
ResponderBorrar1. I think the world is a better place because of globalization, easy access to information is something we should be grateful for. I don't know for sure if the world would be better without it but it would definitely be different.
ResponderBorrar2. No, it depends on the development capacity of each country.
3. A clear example is the United States.
4. It is assumed that the standard of living and job opportunities have increased although in some countries the benefits have been greater.
5. Globalization has allowed companies to grow, but the environment suffers. The means of transportation, the construction of new facilities and the exploitation of resources has caused the world's pollution to increase.
6. Globalization is neither the problem nor the solution, it depends on people's intentions whether the effects will be good or bad.
7. Maybe. The opportunities that countries have thanks to globalization create rivalry and sometimes it is this rivalry that turns into conflicts.
8. Technological advances and information may increase, but there will be aspects that will stagnate, natural resources are not eternal and if we do not take proper care of them we will lose them.
Answer # 5
ResponderBorrarThe various damages to the environment have been increasing since the Industrial Revolution, derived from economic, social and political progress, although it is not the same in all areas of the planet and has varied over time. There are studies that show that some environmental problems such as water quality or the levels of some pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, have increased with economic development and since the Industrial Revolution took place. Other problems that have also increased are the production of waste and emissions of CO2 or carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas.
Answer 6: it depends on which point you see. For every development that is made there are consequences
ResponderBorrarAnswer to Q1: I think globalization is a good thing. It improves trading, and increases the amount of wealth being created, and also it’s not only economic but cultural too.
ResponderBorrarAnswer to Q2: Those who have benefited the most from globalization are the industrialized countries. But first world countries buying cheap labor is really exploitative.
Answer Q3: Developed industrially powerful countries benefit most from globalisation like Switzerland and Japan.
Answer Q4: Workers in the developed world must compete with lower-cost markets for jobs, and unions may be unable to defend against the threat of corporations
Q5: Increased production means more natural resources are used and this can be used up before they are regenerated causing the climate change and contamination.
Q6: Both. Globalization allows many goods to be more affordable and available to more parts of the world but also exploits poor workers for cheap labor and overproduction contributes to climate change.
Answer to Q7. The lives of people in distant countries are increasingly being linked, through commerce, communications technology, or culture so of course some things are going to clash but also it makes us incredibly open minded
Q8: Even more so than now.
