Globalization is bad


My opinion changed from being in the middle to globalization is a bad thing. After reading the article I changed my opinion because of how globalization affects the United States’ global appearance, the fact that it is causing diseases and drugs to spread everywhere, and that the terrorism rate has gone up in the past 10-15 years. The article says that the negative effects of globalization aren’t caused by globalization itself, but from the United States, which is saying that because the US push so hard to trade with all these countries, it’s affects, like spreading diseases and smuggling drugs, are what makes globalization bad. And the fact that terrorism has gone up in the past ten-fifteen years and people think that it’s a direct result of globalization makes me think globalization is even worse. Why is the US pushing so hard to help third world countries without help from other first world countries when all it causes is fights, drugs being smuggled, and diseases being spread? The United States is already in a lot of debt and by helping all of these third world countries out without aid from other first world countries like England or France, we are just putting ourselves into more debt, nationally and internationally.

  1. I agree with you in the fact that terrorism is really getting out of hand because of globalization. It is a really good argument considering what is happening to u.s. embassies around the world.
