Reflection of Globalization
Today's activity made me switch my side of the argument completely. I originally thought that globalization was a good thing but after hearing all the bad things that happened because of it my mind has changed. I don't feel as though the people who think that globalization are completely wrong because there are some good things that come out of it. For example higher up countries help out poorer countries get onto their feet. But, even with that idea there are still too many bad things that could occur because of it. Some examples are that; some places can be overtaken by the stronger countries and lose all their individuality and be forced to live under the rules of that stronger country, and another example is that of current problems. The problems that we face today will stay relevant but new problems will arise, and the problems that we face currently will be forgotten and not resolved in a prompt manner. Overall I feel as though this activity opened my eyes to the other side of the argument.

I liked the examples you gave of why globalization is negative. I especially liked your example of how stronger countries can overtake a country and completely change it with their rules. I liked how you mentioned the good things about a stronger country helping a poorer country but then also mentioned the negative side of this.
