DOES GLOBALIZATION EQUAL EQUALITY??

DOES GLOBALIZATION EQUAL EQUALITY? In the several charts stated above, it is easy to notice that not all countries are equal. This is because countries with power and money are taking advantaged of the worlds resources! Countries like Canada and Norway are well developed and have large GDP and lots of Foreign Investment, but they are taking away from less fortunate countries. With globalization we can contact and commutate with the rest of the world, which could be ideal with the world working together to make one big society. But instead the countries with power and money can now be connected with the rest of the world not to make things equal but to increase the profit and resources they have, making them richer but putting the rest of the world in a poorer less fortunate state. If you look at the charts and graphs that appear earlier in the slideshow it bluntly shows that there are some extremes from high to low. It might have been caused by globalization or it could have been there before, but one thing is for sure without high powered countries coming in to take advantage of those people it would have been a lot better. Now I’m not saying all globalization is bad, no one the other hand we can set up things like “Operation Christmas Child” or sponsoring of children in other parts of the world, those are examples of how we use the fact that we are connected to the world to make a difference! Globalization could be great, the whole world helping each other like a big family or if we treat it the wrong way a small fraction of the world be own everything the world has to offer. Its up to us weather or not globalization helps the world or destroys it!
