Globalization Reflection

Prior to reading the article on globalization I was pro-globalization, and after reading both sides of the argument, I am still in favor of globalization. Though I see the validity of both points of view, and I do think that there are some negative aspects of globalization I think that the positives outweigh the negatives. In the article that we read for homework, the woman who argued that globalization is good made the point that globalization is necessary for getting all that you can out of capitalism. Other countries may offer goods at a cheaper price than the US, so for that company to make the most profit it makes the most sense for them to trade and purchase globally, which is a part of globalization. Also, being able to sell products to other countries can increase how much money a business can make. I also totally agree that this might be bad for American businesses too because if companies are buying foreign made products they are obviously not buying the American made products, but I think that there are more problems that would come with economic isolationism. Also, I think if you purchase goods from other countries, especially 3^rd world countries, you are helping them rebuild their economy, and I think that in the long run we would benefit from helping them build up their economy.
