business:

  • get competitive advantage by allowing them to source raw inexpensive materials
  • have the option of expanding worldwide or outsourcing
workers:
  • get jobs in developing countries
  • the wages workers in developing countries receive is enough for them to feed their families
    • increased standards of living
consumers:
  • decreased costs of manufacturing → lower prices
  • access to a wider variety of goods

negative effects

  • the gap between rich and poor is truly getting bigger → inequality
  • exploitation of workers in developing countries
  • job insecurity for workers in developed countries
  • the understanding of a globalised and socialised world is getting lost
  • the environment is destroyed (climate change)
  • infectious diseases are more likely to spread over several continents (Corona)

Postive & Negative Effects

1. Pick one cartoon and describe it orally.

2. Write an analysis. It's up to you if you want to take notes or write a text.

Cartoon

Think of a person that is affected by the globalisation and look for fitting arguments for that position.

Assignment 1

Contra Globalisation

  • plays a huge role in destruction of environment, especially climate change)
  • there are so many losers due to globalisation
  • inequalities have to be reduced
  • it is understandable to want to protect your own country from foreign competition
  • growing dependence from other countries
  • increase of homogenisation

Pro Globalisation

  • consumerism, not globalisation, is to blame for the destruction of environment
  • there are organisations which try to protect the rights of workers in developing countries
  • we should not create new trade barriers
  • global trade is good for the economy of the country

Pro & Contra

definition:
  • a movement towards a less connected world, characterized by powerful nation states, local solutions, and border controls rather than global institutions, treaties, and free movement

Deglobalisation

  • characterised by protectionist measures
    • customs duties
    • variable export / import levy
    • quotas
    • environmental regulation
    • technical standards

reasons:

  • increase of negative effects
  • more and more automatism
  • securing the own basic state supply

Climate change

Assignment 2

Should Globalisation go on like this or should we change something about and maybe consider Deglobalisation?

With the help of the arguments, write a comment, in which you express your opinion regarding this matter with the focus on the ecological and social aspects.
