You can move to a richer country if you can’t live in your country right now

franzihenck — 2018-03-09 12:19:48 UTC

Companies can produce things for less money and save money for their company

franzihenck — 2018-03-09 15:22:02 UTC

People get a lower wage because everything costs less

- large range of goods (cheap clothes/electric devices, fresh fruits all the time etc.) -> lower prices -> simplified everyday life
- more jobs for people in developing countries -> enhanced economy -> less poverty
- worldwide connection -> transport goods everywhere very fast
- mobility allows us to travel -> worldwide trade increases -> world economy grows
- technology helps us communicating with different culturesw

nayah_bruns — 2018-03-09 22:30:19 UTC

- Bad working conditions
- low wages
- long working hours
- child labour
- worldwide competition -> weak countries have little to no opportunity for advancement <-> strong countries become stronger and richer -> prosperity distributed unfairly -> gap between rich and poor gets bigger
- global players displace local shops -> local shops maybe have to close

Brings the world together:
International market/ resources from all over the world – access to goods from everywhere
Outsourcing – allows brands to produce outside the country at lower cost making more profit + cheaper prices for the consumer, creating work places in developing countries
Easy and faster transportation as well as cheap communication – stay in contact with the world, makes transportation of resources and products/ vacation easier

lara_oelke — 2018-03-10 10:05:29 UTC

Pollution because of transportation
Exploitation of lower developed countries – producing at lower costs because companies pay lower wages + inhuman working condition/ child labor/ no security/ long working hours – accidents like Rana Plaza
Americanization – global players like Starbucks, McDonald’s etc. expand into other countries and influence the culture in those countries
Global players replace local companies
International market - financial crises affect the whole world
Outsourcing – companies create work places abroad, so they promote local unemployment

- cheaper prices for products and services/ better availability of products and services/ easier access to capitals and commodities/ increased competition/ producers and retailers can diversify their markets and contribute to economic growth

- negative consequences for local players / destroys culture and individuality/ workers in developing countries have to work with bad working condition (child labour, long working hours, low wages, dangerous material etc.)/ inequality in developing countries/ pollution as a result of transportation/ worldwide competition

cheaper production in lower developed countries ->more transport -> more pollution -> bad effects for our health and our environment
for example: global warming (consequences of global warming: damage because of flooding and storm, water shortage, threat because of hunger, melting of the Antarctic and the ice of Greenland, many animal species die off if we do not stop the temperature rise)

- improve your living standards by emigrating into richer countries
- companies can save money by outsourcing their production (cheaper workforces etc.)
-> consumers have to pay less for products as result
- faster and easier transportation because world is more connected
- more diverse offer in goods, loads of products from different countries are imported

berkant2101 — 2018-03-11 15:43:35 UTC

- CO2 footprint considerably larger because of in transport
- workers from developing countries get exploited, global players take advantage off the workers’ desperate situation
- local companies disappear because they can’t compete with global players like starbucks for example

vandevenleon — 2018-03-11 21:10:18 UTC

-more foreign goods

-with the trade happining around the world there is more diversity

-helps developing countries because it offers more jobs

-producers and retailers can diversify their markets and contribute to economic growth

vandevenleon — 2018-03-11 21:27:48 UTC

-globalization can cause job insecurity because many big companies outsource their manfacturing work in countries where the costs are cheaper

-some countries struggle to compete

-removes the emphasis of local cultures

-globalization has led to exploitation of labor, many people work in unhumane conditions

-safety standards are ignored to produce cheap goods

peterunlustig133 — 2018-03-11 22:50:32 UTC

- more profit for the companies
- cheaper prices for the consumers
- faster
- connect countries
- a lot of different goods

peterunlustig133 — 2018-03-11 22:54:39 UTC

-low wages
- hard to compete for smaller companies
- not good for the environment
- child labour
- work longshifts under pressure and not secured well -> bad for health

franzihenck — 2018-03-12 07:31:04 UTC

Original culture get distroyed, for example in Asia that they want to live like the western countries

peterunlustig133 — 2018-03-12 07:31:29 UTC

Popular products get copied -> less individuality

MilenaBeerhorst — 2018-03-12 07:32:04 UTC

- No individuality - everyone prefers to buy goods from a global player and not from a small local company -> culture gets destroyed, small companies have no chance
- Same global players in different countries, even less individual cultures
-> americanisation (most big companies from USA)
- conflicts between people from different countries living in one country (different norms, relegion)

lara_oelke — 2018-03-12 07:32:12 UTC

Americanization – global players like Starbucks, McDonald’s etc. expand into other countries and replace local companies, influence cultures/ no differences between countries and cultures, comparison to Western lifestyle - unhappy/ dissatisfied/ depressed people

nayah_bruns — 2018-03-12 07:32:49 UTC

Americanization - eastern countries want to live the western lifestyle -> no differences between cultures anymore -> individuality fades
Global players - if global players opened a shop in a small town everyone would go there and only buy their products -> everybody goes with the trend -> no more individuality + local shops have to close
Social media - connects the world, but "influencers" show you that perfect life/body -> people want to live like they do -> no individuality

berkant2101 — 2018-03-12 07:33:25 UTC

Immigration, which is a result of globalisation, has led to many countries become more ethnically diverse. This can result in cultural conflicts.

Local companies destroyed-> workers have to work under bad conditions for global players

ninaferienstrasse — 2018-03-12 07:41:03 UTC

Sometimes some countries lose their identity because society only copy things like lifestyle

vandevenleon — 2018-03-12 07:43:40 UTC

many big american companies are spread all over the world that means their is not much individuality
