The Causes Of Globalization And Poverty

Globalization is when a business is trying to create a market that is heard of across the globe. Globalization allows you to trade with other nations if they meet the requirements of the World Trade Organization. This allows the country to send goods that they are well known for to countries that can not make that same good. Globalization applies to this class because it allows me to learn about what it is and how it affects more nations than just the United States. Globalization impacts us internationally because of the trades the U.S. makes with other countries across the globe. The way people feel about globalization is affected by the domestic influence on how they feel about certain things and their

Globalisation is the growing collectiveness of our world economy, tending towards functioning as a singular entity opposed to multiple separate constituents (Longman,2002). Globalisation is not a modern process, and has been taking place for a considerable length of time as stated by Ellwood (2001:12) ‘Globalisation is a new word which describes an old process’. The process itself is fuelled by human innovation and technical progress, this in turn is spearheaded by sizable companies referred to as multinational or transnational companies (MNCs or TNCs), in an effort to expand their operations these businesses expand their global reach in search of new business opportunities, resulting in an interconnectedness between an expansive range of economies. This essay aims to assess the causes of globalisation as well as analysing its effects, not just economically but on a cultural and political level.

Globalization is the integration of markets, economic exchange, and cultures that took place during and specifically after Industrialization. If it was a perfect world then globalization would only bring lowered poverty, increased interdependence between nations, and increased access to wealth and innovation to the table. There would be a system that is fair and just and make sure that within this market economy the rules and regulations would be up kept and followed. This way of thinking has changed our market economy to become a market society which means that market values have seeped into almost every faucet of our lives.

What can two dollars buy you? A small coffee at Starbucks, a candy bar, bag of chips, and a soda, a slice of pizza. For nearly three billion people, approximately half of the world 's population, two dollars a day is all the money that the person has to live on. Moreover, of the 2.2 billion children in the world, 1 billion grow up in poverty; 640 million without adequate shelter, 400 millions with no access to safe water, and 270 million with no access to health services (UNICEF 2005). One proposed reason for this harsh reality of high poverty rates is globalization - the growing integration of economies and societies around the world. The claim that globalization generates poverty has been the focus of many debates for the last twenty

Globalization is taking place across the world where people can either become globalization or stay local in the state or country. People are very controversial about globalization helping local economies and local businesses. Some people believe globalization is helping local businesses into the markets and then there are some that believe that multinational corporations hurting the local small businesses. What is globalization? “the development of an increasingly integrated global economy marked especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labor markets” (). Globalization has started long before we were born.

Frequently, people are unclear of exactly what Globalization means. Globalization is the tendency of the world's economies to act as a single interdependent economy. It can be described as the increased movement of people, knowledge, ideas, goods and money across national borders to make the world more unified in a sense. Globalization is often thought of in economic terms but as we know there are other components with this idea like, economics, and cultures. There is a huge debate of whether or not globalization is positive or negative.

f the theories concerned with globalization and poverty suggest that globalization has been related to rising inequality between people and nations, and that the poor do not always share in the gains from trade. Some scholars in the international affairs arena like Collins and Nathan have suggested that globalization has a tremendous influence on economic development. Nathan argues for example that due to globalization, 800 million Chinese people have been pulled out of poverty (P.8 Nathan, 2016). Other scholars such as Collins disagree with the previous statement and indicate that globalization has made the middle and lower classes of advanced industrial countries like China unhappy and in addition, it has increased global inequality between and within countries. According to Collins, The UN Development Program reports that the richest 20 percent of the world’s population consume 86 percent of the world’s resources, while the poorest 80 percent consume just 14 percent (P.5 Collins, 2015). In addition, many scholars have emphasized the negative effects of economic liberalization with relation to poverty figures. Some argue that globalization has not helped people out of poverty, but has moved more nations into poverty. As a result, globalization poses a threat to development and equality and increases disparity between people (P.7, Stiglitz 2002).

The question under consideration is “can globalization reduce poverty around the globe, and should this be the aim? Globalization is characterized as an unstoppable cross-border movement of goods, people, ideas, and economic activity that leads to greater economic interdependence amongst states and integration of market forces across territorial boundaries. The cross-border movement of financial securities, technology, and information, allows various state and non-state actors to enhance their competitiveness globally as well as create better economic conditions within state boundaries to spur rapid economic growth that, if governed correctly, may improve the general quality of live for people.

There are many ways to look at and understand modern globalization. In general terms, globalization means that the world, as a whole, is leading to a more utopian society, meaning that the globe is become very interconnected and similarities are growing between different regions and cultures of the world. Globalization is a phenomenon that has been evolving since before 10,000 B.C. This constant evolution can cause many problems, but it can also solve many issues positively as well. Development of any country, however, seems to be a key issue when discussing globalization. Globalization and development present two different factors in the world today. Many countries are lacking in their own development while the world around them is becoming more developed and globalized. Globalization hinders development because with globalization, less developed countries depend on more developed countries to help them to sustainability and self-reliance.

Once the Era of apartheid had come to an end in 1994 the internationally development community entered South Africa promoting the microcredit model with high hopes to empower the poorest black communities to break loose from the poverty spiral, however the Microcredit model was seen to be having the complete opposite effect, ultimately causing incredible damage to the area. The microcredit model was supposed to be the means of bringing sustainable development to the extreme poor areas. The model has been named the “anti-development” intervention (1), because in practice it has only shown that it supports consumption spending. The poor are worse off than ever before; to keep up with the obligations of repaying their microloans, they are forced to sell the few assets they own or borrow money from friends or relatives or even worse take up new microloans in order to pay for the old ones. This is not the only downfall of this type of so called sustainable development; another problem that emerges from this is that the actual businesses emerging form microloans are anything but businesses elevating poverty. The type of business that has been arising from the microloans have only created hyper-competition amongst all the new businesses as well as the old ones, leaving about 40% of the South African population repaying debt. The poorest and most vulnerable are left behind to take care of themselves drowning in debt, while the private banks

“Globalization refers to all those processes by which the people of the world are incorporated into a single world society, global society.” Definition by Martin AL brow, 1990, a British Sociologist. Globalization helps to under developed countries by increasing their economic.

As a result, the globalization increase the gap between rich and poor because of, improper wage system and insecurity of jobs, multinational companies, environment treaties, and technology.
