Dearest friend, Although Waltovia seems like they have everything under control, their policies are flawed and their citizens are not ensured fairness. The United States economy is not as terrible as you might think, and the restrictions Waltovia places on its citizens and on it economy hinders and hurts everyone involved. First off, country’s economies will not be able to flourish to their full potential unless they seek to make relations beyond their borders and produce, as well as sell products, and services of a large quantity of for international trade. If the country shuts down international trade, millions of jobs will be lost and many sectors of the economy will suffer, meaning that Waltovia is in fact negatively exploiting its citizens.
other people that abandoning this trade will make their nation weaker. If they restricted this
A larger developed country will have numerous products it produces and exports. A surplus of imports, as one may imagine, can be disastrous.
e is strong evidence that the epithet of Poseidon at Kalaureia was Geraistos (Γεραιστός), a word from an unknown pre-Hellenic language.[2] A 6th century A.D. dictionary by Stephanus of Byzantium gives the names of Zeus's sons as Geraistos, Tainaros, and Kalauros, who sailed from an unspecified location and landed in different places on the Peloponnesus.[3] Geraistos, Tainaros, and Kalaureia are all sanctuaries of Poseidon; in the towns of the latter two, one of the months of the year was named Geraistios (the only other poleis (πόλεις) with this month name are Sparta, Kalymna, and Kos). It is also theorized that the epithet Geraistios (Γεραίστιος) also applies to Kalaureia because all three sanctuaries function as asylums.[4]
Therefore, local industry will not be able to survive with the multinational firms moving into the country. Protectionism
One effect of globalization has been the freedoms regarding trading and companies’ abilities to acquire labor. In North America we signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), allowing trade and mobility between the countries of Mexico, Canada, and the United States of America. While designed to be a trade bloc between the countries, NAFTA has had many undesired effects especially on Mexico and industrial America. Mexican farmers have been badly hurt by the incorporation of NAFTA. While Americans have farm subsidies, specifically in the crops of corn, America is able to keep competitive prices if nor cheaper prices with that of Mexico. Moreover, this dumping by America has caused many Mexican farmers to stop farming corn and look elsewhere for employment. Thus, with America’s predatory pricing in agriculture, many Mexicans are forced out of business and forced to look elsewhere for work. Of course the most prosperous place to work is America, thus, we have a circle in which NAFTA has added to the amount of undocumented workers coming to America.
trade deficit with NAFTA partners Mexico and Canada. The related loss of 1 million net U.S. jobs under NAFTA showing how damaging it has become for workers in the United States. Growing income inequality as the poor stay there while those benefiting from their fall enjoy the wealth. Also the displacement of more than one million Mexican campesino farmers and a doubling of desperate immigration from Mexico as they are losing their farms value over there. More than $360 million paid to corporations after “investor-state” tribunal attacks on, and rollbacks of, domestic public interest policies.
Most people probably haven’t ever heard of Palestrina. He’s no Bach or Beethoven, but don’t overlook his ability. He is one of the most important and gifted religious composers of his time. During his career, he went everywhere from working in his local church to composing music for the Pope himself.
A reporter entered Bangkok, Thailand and interviewed the father of a girl who worked in a sweatshop. He said, ''I hope she can keep that job. There's all this talk about factories closing now, and she said there are rumors that her factory might close. I hope that doesn't happen. I don't know what she would do then.'' This man’s daughter was making 2 dollars a day. The man went on to say that most people want jobs like his daughter has, because they pay higher and let you work longer hours than most other available jobs (Wudunn). While people here in the states protest outsourcing to these sweatshops, those working in them are grateful for the jobs they have. Their economies grow because of the additional companies in the workforce, and the United States economy grows as
Felicia is a 17 year old Irish girl who unfortunately becomes pregnant by a young Irish man named Johnny Lysaght after meeting him at a wedding. Afterward, Johnny left Ireland to work in England. Felicia’s father believes that Johnny went to join the British Army, which to him is a betrayal of Ireland. Her father soon discovers that she is pregnant by him. Feeling ashamed, Felicia leaves Ireland to find Johnny. She continues to believe that he loves her, and refuses to accept that he would do such a terrible thing as joining the army of the oppressors.
Globalization is an amazing tool for the world and it helps the economy growth. Sometimes, these big companies like Maquiladora, established their companies in poor countries or places where they can commit some acts without being put under the law. They use the citizens of those countries as workers, often paying them little amount of money or discriminating against who they hired. This often leads to many problems like death or misplacement, like the man I encountered while in Mexico. Giving up my vacation in mexico to give my time to help this man would be a good decision because this man and his deceased wife suffered a violation of human rights and he needs to get compensation from the company and acknowledgement of his human rights being violated.
It is evident that the economy of the United States is changing. The world in which we used to see an economy of all American made products and American services is rapidly disappearing. Many American companies are outsourcing the jobs they have to offer to other countries. These are the very jobs that helped create our economy and help us thrive. James Moreland states “The capitalist market in the United States makes it nearly impossible for any successful company to avoid the lure of cutting American industrial jobs and shipping the work abroad. “Free trade” agreements such as NAFTA and our membership in the WTO have caused the U.S. to be forced to compete with third world countries such as China and Mexico, where wages are often less than $4 an hour.” (Moreland 2014) in his article “The Outsourcing of American Jobs Hurts The Economy on Every Level”. However, with

Poor countries have had to sell state industries and open national borders to in order to meet a new economic order and payment of international debts.
Government intervention takes two paths: Political and Economic. Political arguments for intervention are stressed with protecting the interest of groups such as producers, within a nation. This is the opposite of a free market, where government does not apply protectionism which can be defined as “Government actions and policies that restrict or restrain international trade, often done with the intent of protecting local business and jobs from foreign competition with the use of influence quota, duties, subsidies, what its citizens can buy, produce and sell from another country“ (Investopedia, n.d). Free trade is not always good, increasing trade means higher transport usage, which leads to higher cost and also greater environment
The documentary, zoned slavery, showcases the overworked youths as they toil to meet basic their needs life. On the other hand the companies they work for register huge profit margins. The concept of free trade zone means the zone is a confinement for slavery as the under-age workers are poorly remunerated. They are subjected to poor health care and forced contraception. They also lack access to education and basic social amenities. Most of these children are victims running away from poverty and other social-economic challenges from their impoverished families. Their main aim is to look for greener pastures in the free trade zones. This is atypical case of the negative impacts of globalization (NLC 2012:video).
