What are the effects of GLOBALIZATION in "social" aspect?

Question

Please enumerate and explain it a little bit, thanks (its my homework)

Answer 1

It removes the individual right to their own life style and culture .

Answer 2

Well.. Globalization will either improve or eradicate all the cultures of the world... we will either become more familiar with foreign cultures, or they will homogenize and become one culture...

Globalization is mostly a Western concept so if all the countries become more like America .. it would be a bad thing. [Not because America is bad, but because sameness provides no intelligence and enrichment].

Also, socially, globalization puts too much emphasis on money... globalization is not a social structure, it is an economic one and is not going to aid the pursuit of non-material happiness but will only aid the interests of corporations and big business.

Answer 3

Poorer countries are sometimes at disadvantage: While it is true that globalization encourages free trade among countries on an international level, there are also negative consequences because some countries try to save their national markets. The main export of poorer countries is usually agricultural goods. It is difficult for these countries to compete with stronger countries that subsidize their own farmers. Because the farmers in the poorer countries cannot compete, they are forced to sell their crops at much lower price than what the market is paying.  

Exploitation of foreign impoverished workers: The deterioration of protections for weaker nations by stronger industrialized powers has resulted in the exploitation of the people in those nations to become cheap labor. Due to the lack of protections, companies from powerful industrialized nations are able to offer workers enough salary to entice them to endure extremely long hours and unsafe working conditions, though economists question if consenting workers in a competitive employers' market can be decried as "exploitation". The abundance of cheap labor is giving the countries in power incentive not to rectify the inequality between nations. If these nations developed into industrialized nations, the army of cheap labor would slowly disappear alongside development. It is true that the workers are free to leave their jobs, but in many poorer countries, this would mean starvation for the worker, and possible even his/her family if their previous jobs were unavailable.
