Current Events
 History
• Globalization origins are since colonization because people took some
things from the countries they colonized and they sold or traded in other
countries around the world.
• The creation of NAFTA in 1993 was a great step for globalization because
they started with the free trade and this make cheaper the things.
• Governments now focus on removing barriers to trade and promoting
international commerce.
 Who is affected and who cares?
• Globalization is making that the rich became richer and the non rich
became poorer.
• All people need to care of globalization to stop the huge impact that it
have in all the world. The people should care because many cultures are
being lost, some cultures have expanded, multinational companies are
getting bigger and national companies are in bankrupt.
 Perspective 1 (Favor)
• Promotes global economic growth
• Prices are drive down
• Brings new things to countries
• Infusion of foreign capital and technology to poor countries
 Perspective 2 (Against)
• Make rich richer and non-rich to the poorer
• Exploitation of labor
• Globalization is an economic tsunami sweeping the planet
 Point of View
• I am in favor of the globalization because we can have more products in a
cheaper price. Also another benefit of the globalization is that helps the
economic growth of the world. This event is important because all the
people is getting affected of it.  People can be more informed by reading
articles of both things. People can voice their opinion in the social media
or in any interview or questionnaire. They can take action by starting a
plan to bring more globalization or to stop it by completely.
