THEORIES OF GLOBAL CHANGE
There is a growing global impoverishment. Some claim that the
increasing number of street children and youth, especially observable in the
world's poorest countries, was one of the consequences of globalization.
Globalization or globalization as it is referred to in recent decades is more a
process of global meltdown, striking and explicit, in the fields of economy,
culture and politics, the process followed by a remarkable loss of meaning of
power of nation-states. The opening of markets in emerging countries has
caused a profound change in the economy closing industries that could not
compete globally. Question the globalization of poverty and
underdevelopment caused and reinforced by the accumulation of wealth and
somehow still not discovered how the people can benefit in some way.
Multinational companies manufacture products in many countries
and sell to consumers around the world. Money, technology and raw
materials move ever faster across national borders, with the products and
finance, and the ideas and cultures circulate freely. As a result, laws,
economies and social movements are forming internationally. Many
politicians, academics and journalists seem to treat these trends as
inevitable and generally welcomed. But for billions of people in the world,
globalization oriented business means old ways of eradication of life and
may threaten the livelihoods and culture. It is necessary to rethink social
justice, versus a global product, proposing alternative ways, more
responsive to public needs. It is known that intense political disputes
continue about globalization without u ma future direction. We do not
inhabit a world with limits.
Globalization refers to all the processes by which people of the world
are in corporate into a single global society, global society. The process of
globalization, in its current phase, reveals an intention to establish world
domination in the association between large organizations and blindly
technology used. But the reality of the territories and the contingencies of
"half sister" ensure the impossibility of desired homogenization. The term
"development" in itself, expresses an intellectual challenge because of its
polysemy. Its significance is shown controversial since the different schools
and different authors who are engaged in thinking on the subject shall, in
general, establish and to sign what they consider to be the necessary
parameters so that you can recognize it from a specific theoretical and
ideological point of view.
It is believed that the globalization project is a centralized project
along the axis of class and economic inequalities, as the axes religions,
different cultures, gender, and geographic regions. Never before in human
history has there been a gap between those who work and those who
accumulate wealth, because we can see through various indicators.
The globalization, like any other process of change, brings beneficial
and harmful effects. Among the harmful effects it produces, is the
destruction of the conditions that make possible the construction and
operation of the democratic system. The result is that we are herded by
globalization and we can do nothing against its negative aspects as much as
we do not have the fight instruments. The Globalization is a systematic
succession of changes in a defined direction, the trial for all peoples and
communities, integration and fusion in the economic, social and cultural
area, reaching all at the same time and all the time. In fact for some
communities the benefits are great, but overall seems to affect some of the
human rights, injuring the right to work, to free choice of employment, to
just and favorable conditions of work and to protection against
unemployment. It also seems to hurt people as equal rights without
distinction and equal pay for equal work. It is known of the affected
communities when the negative consequences of some aspects of
globalization. The contradiction between theory and practice that mark the
process of economic globalization nowadays always happens in a veiled way.
In short, migration is indisputable when creating aspects for both
enrichment and to a weakening of poverty. Policies that run this principle
will be more effective than the opposing hell-bent on consist tar with
intransigence, both to globalization, as the migration of people in space.
As for higher education also believe despite the challenges that we can
take advantage of this globalization positively, because it becomes a great
opportunity for transformation in education in the coming years, which is
driven in part by technology, but also for accessibility reasons, the needs of
students and their families and why not say by society as a whole.
