GLOBALISATION. WHAT'S YOUR TAKE? by María https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation en-us 2017-01-25 17:36:59 UTC 2017-11-23 16:09:16 UTC hello@padlet.com Mjose. macosedv https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/149564427 I strongly believe the world is changing (AGAIN). What I wonder is whether we are moving backwards or forwards.]]> 2017-01-26 12:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/149564427 Esperanza - Society moves in a sort of ‘yo-yo’ way. We go from one side to the other, seeking security. When we don´t find it in a global world, we tend to shut ourselves in our own country. https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/149848942 2017-01-27 12:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/149848942 Celso - Globalization and continuous changes in the world need new policies capable of responding to current needs. Nothing new in our modern history, however things can change more now in only one year than in twenty before. https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/150115805 2017-01-29 20:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/150115805 Pedro - It is well known that in our world self-interest comes first. Seemingly in western societies many people think that turning inward is the best way to protect themselves. Let's see who benefits in the long run. I don't think either the British Prime Minister or the American President will be among the loosers. https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/150607250 2017-01-31 17:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/150607250 Miguel - Globalisation has put under a tremendous stress the way of life of the Middle Class in the First World. According to that and pushed by the voters, the politicians of the strongest western democracies are trying to recover control over means of production, movements of population and their economies. Probably only a shot in the dark. https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/150646004 2017-01-31 18:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/150646004 https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/150867501 2017-02-01 15:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/150867501 Marta - Birds of a feather flock together. https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/151574889 2017-02-03 22:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/151574889 https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/151683343 2017-02-05 19:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/151683343 RAQUEL https://padlet.com/macosedv/globalisation/wish/151888694 THINK TWICE, ACT WISE
There is no doubt that the world is becoming more globalised, however free trade and open markets make mistakes once and again.
With different levels of developement, unequal trade always discourages poorer countries. As well as countries, which continuously refer to barriers while trading.Where is fairness along the process? A strong imbalance could be created in-between.
Cultural barriers play here a significant role  while facing  the challenge of opening borders permiting foreign goods. And  world leaders should as well avoid risks on a global scale in their  policies. Or the final result could be a  worldwide backfire.
