DARREN'S ZANEY ADVENTURES: GLOBALIZING WITH THE BOSS!

Globalization Is A Foe.

Globalization may have some pros but it is still wrong because it's destroying our environment and turning the world into a pile of dust. Globalization is hard on the environment by destroying landscapes, causing pollution, and endangering wild species.

Globalization helps countries develop industries and promote economic growth. On the surface economic growth seems like a good thing because it creates new jobs and factories helping satisfy people's wants and needs. however this production of factories around the world involves a lot of energy. In order to create all this energy tons of fossil fuels must be burned and this is very harmful to the environment by producing tons of pollution as a result.

Globalization has enabled companies to become multi-natural corporations. these are companies that have businesses and factories all over the world.Some environmentalists fear that globalization  multinational corporations create factories in because that's where they pollute all they want since there are no environmental laws.

Another concern of globalization is the connection between it and climate change Factories burning fossil fuels not only causes pollution but also causes the earth's climate to become much warmer. Thanks to this an irreversible melting of the Greenland ice sheet and antarctic glaciers could be triggered.

Even though globalization is very harmful to the earth's environment it isn't going anywhere since it's a very important part of our society. we can't get rid of globalization but we can still try to change it in ways that the environment will be saved from all the pollution and warm weather.

Globalization: Hurting Our Environment

Globalize Responsibly

Globalization is the act of bringing different countries cultures and societies closer together. In our world today globalization is a vital part of our lives.  It allows us to travel halfway across the globe when we please, or send a message instantly to someone thousands of miles away. Our countries economy relies on the fact we can make products in surplus for a fraction of the cost in another country. And other countries rely on the fact big corporations make factories and create jobs almost anyone can do. Since globalization is a big part of so many people’s lives, it is important that we allow it to keep striving and advancing. But besides that we also need to regulate companies actions to make sure everyone is being treated fairly and ethically.

In America we have certain regulations set so while in the work place you can be treated fairly and still maintain your rights as a citizen. An example of this is labor laws an dim minimum wage. For example in Massachusetts people under 16 can only work up to 20 hours a week during the school year and only on the weekends. As you age these regulations become less strict until you can work fulltime. Also minimum wage is an amount of money decided by the state government, which is the least amount of money you can earn working. The current minimum wage in Massachusetts is $8.50. There is also a standards in the conditions you work, so the envionment is as safe and hopefully clean.  But in poorer countries they may not have these regulations or they may not be followed as strictly.  Factories or sweat shops could be over populated and not maintained, employees maybe forced to work very long hours without breaks or maybe they just earn pennies a day. These are the sort of things we need to stop. 

The Craux Roundtable is a organization of business executives whose main goal is to promote ethical treatment in all work places.  They have come up with a list of guidelines and principles called “ The principles for Responsible Globalization.” The principles talk about the importance of avoiding illicit activities, respecting the rules, protecting the envionment and making sure any government officials are only working for the people opposed for them selves. Obviously it is not as easy as just making people follow all the guidelines they have set. But on the other hand, they provide and excellent frame work for how a business should run itself. If more business’s could act this way, globalization can benefit all I involved.
