First Argument: Globalization made 1 Billion
Out of Poverty
I believe that life expectancy has been increasing steadily
everywhere, and most developing countries are now rapidly
converging with the rich world; child mortality rates have gone down
everywhere; literacy rates, access to clean water, electricity, and
basic consumer goods, all of these indicators have been rising.
According to Human Point Blog, scarcity has existed
throughout human history. However, never before has the material
well-being of so many people been improved in such a short space of
time.
Second Argument: Globalization resulted in Job
Losses
Critics often point out that globalization has
led to job losses in the developed world, notably
in the manufacturing sector. For instance,
according to The United States Department of
Labor, the US has lost 10 million manufacturing
jobs since 2000.
Second Argument: Globalization resulted in Job
Losses
What makes things worse is the sense that not
everybody is playing by the same rules when it comes to
global trade. A common refrain of the Trump
administration in the US, for example, is that the West
has opened its markets to Chinese exports, but China
has not properly reciprocated. Globalization, as it
currently exists, is making some in the developed world
very rich, but hurting working class communities. This
has been a gift to populist politicians, but it has been
devastating to many communities in Europe and the US
that relied on manufacturing.
