Conclusion On the whole, globalization has been positive for my country because of a couple of reasons. Although there is a huge percent of people below the poverty line, that has gradually been decreasing. The literacy rate is great because of globalization. I wouldn’t say the GDP is shockingly big, but its average. There is a big population so that is great! A lot of people have jobs so that is great as well. This is why globalization has been positive for my country.
