I think that globalization offers both more oppurtunity. Globalization gives chances to all of these countries that didn't have much before. Know all the good jobs arent secure for the top countries. All of the companies are know going abroad due to the amount of money that workers in these other countries work for. It keeps much more money for the companies if they have to pay their workers less. So since there are many countries that tend to have a low economic state workers will work for much less. More oppurtunities are opened for countries over the world.

Globalization, and outsourceing, causes more problems than solutions. It does because it is almost like betraying America, the country that helped them become what they are now. They are not acting like citizens because our economy is suffering and they are making it worse by taking jobs from Americans and giving them to people in other countries. But the bosses and "corporate amera's" home is in America. -Will

Globalization gives, in my opinion, the more deserving people in other countries and on other continents the jobs that are looked down upon and not respected in America. Ask any passerby how they feel about Tele-marketers, and they'll say that they're annoying, harrassing, lack lives, and ruin days. Yet, in the "30 Days" video, in India, the business of Telecommunications is thriving, respected, and a booming industry. Not only that, but these hard workers in India do it for about 1/3rd of the salary. Naturally, as troublesome as it is for us Americans who are on our ways to being working class, outposting is VERY appealing for Corporate America, who could care less about the people they are putting out of work.

Being a globalization country the challenges get hard everyday. More and more companys can stay in America because the that company is running out of money. So they move to other countrys to get people to do the same work for less. And the companys get more money.So if a company have to choose between staying in the U.S. or more to a next country were they pay people less they would more the company to the other country.-ADAM

the people who want to trade should be able to because they might have what someone wants and they can trade them for what they hve and that way they would have something that they wanted.

Globalization causes more problems than opportunities.It causes some Americans to lose their job to people in other countries. It also causes americans to look like their skills are not as good as peoples from other countries even though this isn't true. Globalization causes America's economy to worsen because more of its citizens are becoming jobless. free trade causes American companies able to buy cheaper things from other countries.

I think that it leaves more challenges. More job oppurtunities are being out sourced and not only do we have to depend on other countries for our main energy source, if they raise the price to a certain amount, we have to follow it or else all things in America will shut down. We have a crisis and its ruining our world. If we don't stop we will end the world.

I think globalization offers many opportunities to foreign workers. Of course to America it takes away opportunities but its just one big trade off. Globalization also brings challenges too though. Some challenges that are faced are that many americans lose their jobs to outsourcing. Also many americans are moving from the United states to other countries because theres more jobs to be offered. - Kenny

i think globalization gives people more opportunities. Many people dont have jobs. and the countries that didnt have anything at all, are not getting things. this also allows companies to get more money.

I think globalization offers more oppertunities for other people to learn other things. For example, it makes it easier to learn about different cultures. Not to mention that people who did not have as much can start over so one day they can take better care of their families.
