While it can serve to empower individuals through a growing education system or job opportunities, it can also oppress minorities. Since globalization does encourage such a global mono culture, it can be hard for individual groups to express their identities. However, this can be avoided if we find ways to accommodate individual groups.

Upon reaching voting age, you have the right to participate in politics and vote for a political party that best represents you. You can also become involved in government by working for the government as an employee or by running for election. 

Canadians have already made a difference by believing the governments should help people in other parts of the world to cope with the impacts of globalization. As a result, different governments have taken different approaches to fulfilling responsibilities to the global community; Some believe their role is not to become directly involved but to encourage and support countries reforming their political systems; Others believe they must act deliberately and decisively with or without agreement from the international community; Lastly, some believe that while direct intervention in another country may be necessary, steps must first be taken to ensure co-operation among nations.]]> 2016-06-16 19:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lynettek9045/g9xqmkke6vmd/wish/114859569 lynettek9045 https://padlet.com/lynettek9045/g9xqmkke6vmd/wish/114860168 2016-06-16 19:25:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lynettek9045/g9xqmkke6vmd/wish/114860168 lynettek9045 https://padlet.com/lynettek9045/g9xqmkke6vmd/wish/114860335 2016-06-16 19:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lynettek9045/g9xqmkke6vmd/wish/114860335 lynettek9045 https://padlet.com/lynettek9045/g9xqmkke6vmd/wish/114860402 The lifestyles of individuals and communities have been completely transformed, in some areas, as a result of globalization.
