Globalization is a bigger problem than most of us realize, and it's not because of "imperialism". I'll explain more after my anthropology final.
1) Makes the American poor poorer. You may not want those factory jobs, but the people you condemn as lazy because they are on welfware wouldn't mind factory work.
2) Corrupts and undermines the governments of 3rd world countries by calling their minimum wage, safety, and environmental regulations "unfair to business".
3) Forces changes onto countries that are unwanted by the general population, like the destruction of small farms by plantations. Now the poor starve while the food they process and the products they grow are exported.
Globalization is bad for everyone except the richest people in the first world. Coincidentally, these are the people who control government.

Globalization is detrimental because the world becomes homogenized, instead of being unique. Go to europe, you see macdonalds, go to asia you see macdonalds.

I know this thread has been dead for a while, but could people respond to this statement. I think I disagree with it. I don't see how having McDonalds everywhere is really that bad.

Its fine, so long as it isn't used as a tool for empire building by you know who.
Anyway, if you want true economic globalization and free trade, governments simply need to stop being protectionist and open their borders to trade. What kills me is guys like GWB going down to South American preaching "Free Trade" while slapping Canada with a softwood lumber tariff at the very same time.
