Despite the increasing number of non-governmental organizations that endeavor towards social welfare goals, social globalization is primarily a negative concept due to the fluctuation in population growth which evidently diminishes the adequate quantity for necessities, accelerating the likelihood of impoverishment. NGOs, or more formally known as non-governmental organizations, are transnational volunteer organizations that address social issues and are often represented at the United Nations. Non-governmental organizations everywhere devote enormous amounts of time and effort to preserve social equality and promote peace. For example, an American educator named Elise Boulding widely promotes NGOs. She said that educating people can push them to consider problems on a global spectrum. In the words of Elise Boulding, all NGOs are expected to “define problems in global terms, to take account of human interests and needs as they are found in all parts of the planet" (Mcgraw Hill pg 9). In the span of 90 years, the number of international NGOs increased from 176 to nearly 37,000, which in turn benefits the concept of social globalization because these groups address growing problems and present solutions to fix or regulate them. The intentions of NGOs are phenomenal and would be extremely beneficial to global social problems, however, NGOs lack the capability to manage the inconsistency of the global population and the problems it brings. In developing countries, the population is increasing exponentially while in developed countries, the population is decreasing. As explained in the McGraw-Hill textbook, “Developing countries face different problems. Between 2010 and 2050, the population in developing countries is expected to grow from 6.8 billion to 8.1 billion. Also, the trend of increased urbanization is expected to continue. Because many cities lack the infrastructure to support larger populations, concerns are rising about future international health and environmental problems, especially in developing nations” (pg 7). The population is a problem that no matter the country’s economic state, will suffer various trends. Due to the overwhelming increase in population within developing countries, it is difficult for cities to keep up with the population growth, resulting in an unstable infrastructure. If the infrastructure is having difficulties keeping up with the population, limited quantities of homes cause prices to rise rapidly. Limited quantities mean for the cost of living is affordable for many, evidently leading to increases in homelessness. Excessive prices are a contributing factor to thousands of citizens being hungry, becoming a global issue for all.  This issue is not designated to one particular region, either. This growing problem of hunger threatens over 795 million people worldwide. This issue is caused by a multitude of reasons that affect a developing nation just as much as hunger itself. For example, in 2015, the civil war in South Sudan led to property destruction, which included many of the food providers in the country. Even worse, internal conflict had affected the ability to trade and import food from elsewhere, leaving South Sudan with few options. This war led to around 2.5 million people suffering with little or no food. Another reason for world hunger comes from the poverty levels that exist in developing nations alongside economic factors. Food prices are increased to help support the flow of money going to the country’s economy, leading to many citizens not being able to afford the food required. Nevertheless, social globalization can be categorized predominantly as a negative concept for population trends that boost poverty from lack of insufficient funds for all, a problem even non-governmental organizations are unable to keep up with these social problems.

Due to a civil war, 2.5 million people in South Sudan went with little or no food. This connects to Globalization because hunger problems are not unique to South Sudan- most developing countries deal with food shortages due to not being able to afford imported items or not being able to grow food themselves (usually a mixture of both problems).

World hunger is a worldwide issue in which people do not have access to an adequate amount of food to meet basic nutritional needs. Even though it had been steadily declining, world hunger is now on the rise. When these societal issues are talked about more, it allows people to present new solutions to the problem. Also, it allows us to understand how it started in particular areas which can lead to more widespread organizations or solutions to help fix it.

In 2010, just under two million people died of AIDS and nearly three million people were infected by HIV. This is important because it shows how many people died in contrast to how many were infected, the low death rate is mostly because globalization allowed for more easy contact with organizations such as UNAIDS that helped people with their viruses.

The global infection of the Swine Flu led many to finally see that Globalization makes it much easier for illness to become much more widespread and dangerous. Leading to a lock down and a major social stop. And similarly to Covid, the world had to adjust to be less connected. Which obviously impacted many peoples social lives severely.

In 2009 the first female Vice President of Mawalia Joyce Banda was elected to office. And after the death of President Bingu wa Mutharika she took over. Showing an evolution in society. To a point where a woman can be put in the same position as a man due an equal to better job. And this idea had become more common around the world. This only 3 years prior Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became the first female president of Liberia.

The gender gap represents the differences between men and women in fields such as education, employment, wages, and representation. Not only does learning about the gender gap allow us to see how far we have come in the context of gender equality, but it allows us to understand how gender inequalities form.

Education is given to most people in the world, but in some developing countries, education isn't widely available. This is contributed by cost, environment, and the social ideas of who is allowed to attend school. Even so, developing countries are starting to allow more children into school. Not having an education can hurt people later on, while they are trying to find a job.

Around this time, women started being more accepted in positions of power. In 2006 Ellen Johnson Sirleaf got the position of president in Liberia. This allows us to see how an easy connection between people allowed more nations to see that women did just as well with leadership as men did, which created this rise in women in power.

In the 1990's France and Norway called for the removal of Blacks, and Arabs; they stated that it was to maintain ethnic purity in their nation. This is a perfect example of unjustified inequality. With the Blacks and Arabs having done nothing except supposedly tarnish their ethnic purity. Which could lead to the belief that these minorities had little to no rights in the social hierarchy.

Through the course of almost a full century, the number of Nongovernmental Organisations (which promote and support Peace, Equal Rights, Businesses and Corporations, etc.) rose from a little less than 200 to 37,000. This is important to Social Globalization because these organisations can help educate people all around the world, not just those who are located in the same place as the organisation.

In most Developing Countries people have to live on $1.90 a day, however, everyone in the world has to deal with different types of poverty. Those living in poverty don't have the necessary resources, health care, and education, to survive. Many countries are trying to eliminate this by providing education and more jobs to the community.
