Tiffany: Globalization

One of the topics discussed was globalization. This can be a very controversial topic with people around the world. Many in the United States think of globalization as a positive way to spread business, culture, and ideas around the world, but others disagree. One of the clips we saw in class was of people rioting in masses to stop decisions being made to globalize. The common fears of globalization are that the culture of the home country will be lost. Often people can lash out violently when they feel as though they don't have a voice in their own country. After doing a little research on the topic, I've found that their is actually a "Anti-globalization movement". Some of the topics regarding the theory of anti-globalization can be found at the following link:http://www.newformulation.org/1antiglobalization.htm
