Women Are Being Impacted By Globalization

From all of this is plain to see that globalization can have positive and negative effects upon a society, but a country that refuses to open its doors to the world face economic stagnation and poverty for its people. Those

There are some concerns about globalization and how it contributes to poverty and inequality in developed, and developing countries. First, let’s look at the ground rules set by the United Nation General Assembly. Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that equal and inalienable rights of all people of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.

Globalization has done a tremendous disservice to those that seek to create wealth and resource equality. Globally it has created a system where as the counties with access to strong markets, copious resources, and relatively educated populations will succeed, while those countries that lag behind in categories such as those willhave a difficult time maintaining in the global economic system.

In theory, globalization should help contribute to the equality of the global economy. Yet this is not the case in reality. Globalization contributes to unsustainable prosperity for a very small percentage of the world’s population. For those in developing countries, it is especially unsustainable. The resources in these areas are consumed at an unstable rate and the environment given very little consideration. The workers are treated as if they are expendable. The smaller economies of these countries are vastly taken advantage of. For these reasons, globalization contributes to sustainable prosperity to a small extent.

Globalization becomes an important aspect in women lives who are victims of the system. The women decide to leave their countries and migrate to a different country in order to have better life and opportunities. As the globalization has an important part of women opportunities. And in many third world countries many women migrate to different countries like U.S where they can have a better life. But they need to leave their families and in some cases their children. The women are able to have a work in U.S. The women can work in different jobs like in daycare or homecare, and also the women are able to take training in order to get a certificate. The women work in various manual labor because the U.S. have a plenty opportunities for them.

In the novel “Where Am I Wearing”, the author, Kelsey Timmerman has mixed conclusions about the effect of globalization in developing countries. On one side of the story, people that live in these countries provide materials and products needed around the world. On the other hand, globalization also forces people of impoverished countries to struggle. It prevents them from living a normal life due to low wages and poor working conditions.

According to the World Bank, women make up 70% of the world’s poor and their wages world wide are on average 50% to 80% of men’s. One third of all households word wide are headed by women, they are responsible for half the world’s food production, and yet they own just one per cent of the world’s property. The majority of workers in sweatshops are women and the majority of unpaid labour is done by women in every region of the world. Further, women make up two-thirds of the one billion people who are illiterate and 60% of the 100 million who have no access to primary education.

Writing 39C has been one of the most profound writing classes I have taken so far. In the past ten weeks, I have learned a lot from my peers and professor. Writing has always been a challenge course for me. Comparing to my previous writing courses, this class requires me to do a large amount of research.

Global Women is an eye-opening book that describes the reality of what women in the developing world do to survive the brutal capitalistic world. When I first started reading this book, I assumed it to be filled with theoretical and statistics-filled information like many other books I have read. However, it was not only informational but also very provoking and surprisingly first-hand. It definitely help the readers to be engaged into the issues and to understand the global patterns of relationships among women struggling to survive in the domestic service sector and in the sex trade.

India has an ancient caste system that separates Hindus into different classes. The Untouchables are below the 4 caste categories and are treated terribly. They are denied many jobs, and on a daily basis men and women are assaulted. The world Social Forum was made aware of the situation, yet not much has changed. Mahila Jagruthi is an untouchable women, otherwise known as a Dalit who has informed the world through her paper Commodification of Women Due to Imperialist Globalization.The protest so far has not resulted in a fair system. Most forms of protest are non violent. The resistance is found through forums, and world organizations. Many Dalits work to help the situation by going directly to government officials. Jagruthi wrote her paper

From an average American's perspective, globalization is a win-win situation for everyone involvedt. But we fail to see the other end of this situation, where lower-class families around the world are faced with troubles. In countries such as Indonesia and India, American companies purposely set up factories and take advantage of the population by giving them wages below minimum wage to manufacture their products. Families are forced to send their children to work in these factories in order to make enough money to survive. When there is only enough money to put food on the table, living conditions are poor and necessities such as clean water are not as available as they are for us Americans. In other countries such as Colombia, the drug

In many developing countries globalization has brought masses of wealth to the elite at the expense of the poor. Consequently, many women of the poorer classes leave their homeland in search of opportunities for employment. These women are disproportionately affected by

Globalization has had a significant impact on the lives of women in the developing nations, which we will further examine in the two countries – Bangladesh and Kenya. In this paper, Globalization is defined as “a complex economic, political, cultural, and geographic process in which the mobility of capital, organizations, ideas, discourses, and people has taken a global or transnational form (Valentine Moghadam 1999). Globalization has more negative effects on women in third world countries such as Kenya and Bangladesh. Corporations hire people in the third world countries, due to the cheap labor force. Corporations like to hire more women than men in the cheap labor force, because women “work in labor intensive industries at lower wages

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.

“Globalization is not just one impact of the new technologies that are reshaping the economies of the third millennium” (Thurow 19-31). When speaking of globalization, most people will not have a complete understanding as of what it actually means or what aspects of the world it affects. Globalization promotes free trade and creates jobs. The capital markets attract investors, resort cheap labor, and leads to job losses in some areas of higher wage. While all of this is happening, the world economy is being effected: economically, culturally, socially, and politically.
