it can have some benifets... like bringing medicine to 3rd
world countries...

but unfortunatly... globalization is headed by corperations
that care not for world affairs... only money...

sounds impossible.. the way different cultures have evolved
apart from one another and developed their own ideals and
beliefs.
maybe i'm just a cynic ;0

many different things to many different people

capitalist expansionism ?
its purely selfish

it's a necessary evil... me thinks...

necessary, in what way? i don't think it is necessary at
all. They move there corperations to another country with no
regulations in the market place then pay there staff about
13 cents an hour.

I don't think that is necessary, its not eliminating world
poverty like they claim, its making it worse.

yeah, maybe you're right... it reduces unemployement in poor
countries, but it does it the worst way possible and
increases unemployement in other countries because of
delocalisation...

...they're so big now, can we do something against that?

i am still trying to find the names of the worst companies,
the ones that have sweatshops in idonesia etc. i know nike,
rebok, adidas, most sport clothing and footwear are are
guilty. Sara lee the cheesecake manufacturer is guilty also

I saw a documentry on the conditions they are forced to work
in, they work 12-16 shifts for about 2 dollars a day. all
because the company wants to save $.

thats not a lot of money in there country, they are still
living in places with no clean water, can only afford 1 meal
a day.

plus that fact that they are taking jobs away from people in
there own countrys who they should really be employing.
