Talking about Globalization, theirs a lot that runs through my mind. Globalization could be a good thing or a bad thing, in your eyes. I say we need Globalization but i am not saying its always good.I think really it depends on what class you are in, like if you are in a rich class you really wouldn't care, but the people in middle class and below will have something to say.
Some of the pros was, we get more options for clothes and shoes.We now have a lot of different ways to travel/transportation. We can talk to any one around the world with technology. Our country is connected with the other, so we can use more of others peoples things.
Some of the cons were, when we get more options on them clothes and shoes we also lose some of our jobs and it only become worse. And since we can travel we could go some were that a lot of people is sick and we could bring that back were we originally came from. It is hurting our environment.Its is becoming a bigger threat to the people with little incomes.

Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. the video is showing how stuf is going onmn in the world and how alot of this stuff should stop before alot of things happen and then we cant do anting about it in the future.

Globalization is how human, places, things and the world interact with one another. In the video 1# it talked about the negative effects on globalization. For example: it stated how it lead to different diseases, war, people losing jobs and how big money places like McDonald is taking over. In video 2# it talks about both pros and cons. Pros: communication, transportation, how people connect, technology; news, music and economy. cons: like job releases; jobs moving, environmental problems. And from the videos I conclude that globalization is both good and bad.

Globalization has both pros and cons. One Con and Pro of globalization is guns. The reason guns are both is because police use them to protect the community. And people are buying them illegally and not registering the gun.! Another Con is the foods that infected with a bug that not normal to north america climate. And someone got beat we wouldnt know how to treat the victim.


However globalization has pros like technology, medicine, and shoe. The technology is used in the phones we get (iphones). And the internet t.v. thats brand new to stores. The medicine we get helps hospitals and drug stores. Last but not least we get Jordan and Nikes from globalization and its good because its at a lower price to make them over seas. Which they are cheaper in stores.! :)

The cons of globalization are that people have created weapons to harm others emotionally and phsically, drugs that could either kill you or could harm you inside for the rest of your life.Some pros are that we have food, clothin, shelter, adn electronics they all provide us the enjoyment of life.

The word globalization means to me is that is how you connect with the city, community, the world, or across the nation.

Some pros and cons of globalization are: pros: better jobs, good community and good connections. Cons: Losing jobs, losing money, and being poor.

Globalization means the process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of communication, transportation, and trade. I think that the video that was from youtube was more stright forward and too the point, it realy said the whole meaning of globalization. Thats it for my blog.

the pros and cons of globalization is the pro are the technology of the way we do things to make life easier. The con of the globalization the ecosystems change everytime we destroy the evironment. I agree with jordan connect with the city, community, the world, or across the nation.

Maybe its better to just to destroy what matter to make something better.

Globalization could mean a lot of things. But the way i think of it is a totally different mind set. Globalization is the way we can do something to make life better or easier. It also could mean good or bad in any kind of way as well. This is what i think of what globalization means.

Globalization= globaliztion is were like people lose their homes and jobs,and be hungry in africa.

pros-cons
pros-alot pf countrys 2 benefit from a trade for a trade we give them some money for some clothes or some matrials.
cons-people losing their jobs not being able 2 support their familys. I think we should be able 2 change globalizationfor the better of the situation.

Globalization is the form how the world changes globally. In the first video it tells a little more how fast can technogly can travel,or what food we eat differs from what people eat in america from other countries. In the second video it tells us how sickness can be traveled or how sickness traveled through globalization. I think that there are alot of things to come fourth from globalization.

Cons:It couses less work for americans, it spreads disease and it causes war and helps other countries inncluding ours to use the weapons that they gain against each other.
