There are many good things about globalizatio. For one thing, it has made communication and information more accesable than most people could have ever imagined. It has accelerated tech well. What globalization has done is that it has brought the world together. This helps everyone by making everything available to everyone. Thie internet, which has contributed to globalization, made information much more accesable. As it said in The world is flat, out sourcing and off shoring have made good jobs available for everyone, not just westerners. It has also brought cultures together and allows anyone to experiance a different culture. Before globalization, people had a hard time with people who are different. Now, everyone can work with eachother.However, globalization has also brought problems. Many people are loosing there culture because all of the cultures are now so intertwined, that the result is a monoculture. Westerners are loosing there jobs to people across the world who will do the same job for a fraction of the western pay. Also, the poor people are still living in the dark ages and are getting even farther behind because globalization has just skippeed them and refuses to wait. However, I think that over all, globalization has been good. It has brought people together, made information more accesable, and has accelarated technology.

You thought through this well! While writing my own response to this topic, I completely overlooked the importance of the internet and communication advancements that Globalization has brought us. BUT *Now everyone can work with eachother*. This quote is interesting. I agree that the stage is set for people to start working, but is it really happening? Your post gave me a slightly altered look on Globalization, but ill still stay with my previous opinion. The fact that such a huge majourity of the worlds population are not, or very little benifiting from globalization makes it a bit ignorant to the lower class populations.
Other wise, nice post!
