C. Essay
Discuss the major ideological claims of advocates of globalism, and express your
point of agreement/disagreement. (5 points each)
1. Globalization is about the liberalization and global integration of markets.
Yes, it is true that globalization is all about liberalization and global Integration of markets. We
all can't globalize without restricting our barriers for trading and being one with whom we
globalize with. Well, to globalize is to evolve, global integration makes that happen because it
expands a market and results to integration with other market, it is called global integration
which can only happen if the same market liberalizes.

2. Globalization is inevitable and irreversible.

Globalization can't be stop because if it does, the world also stops developing. It is also a sort of
truce to other countries which is by trading instead of war. Globalization is an ongoing process
which cannot be stopped because stopping it will only cause poverty and other environmental
and economic problem.

3. Nobody is in charge of globalization.

Because there are no constant things in globalization, it is developing every day. Nobody is able
to be in charge or control of globalization because no one can predict what will be the new trends
and wants of all people. There will never be anyone in charge of globalization because countries
have different cultures and perspectives, a person who is in control cannot just state a perspective
that is based on his culture only because there will definitely be chaos and the countries will only
have disagreement on different things.

4. Globalization benefits everyone.

Globalization doesn't benefit everyone. many are blinded by money and power and they use it to
thrive and they don’t care if there is an individual left behind even if they deserve to be part of
the development. If it benefits everyone then poverty is out of this world. If it is fairly
distributed, then all wins in globalization and no one will experience the taste of poverty and
other environmental and economic problems.

5. Globalization furthers the spread of democracy in the world

Yes, it spreads democracy around the world which we can feel as the economic development
improves day by day. The freedom of how to manage when it comes to field of economics are a
good thing because people who are involve in the democracy are given a chance to change and
improve globalization. Democratic globalization helps expands globalization and make people
closer and more united.
