Recommended: Side effects of globalization

Globalization is defined as an interconnected web of contacts that expand across the globe. Globalization has become the easiest way to understand and communicate with the business world. This process allows companies from different nations to have very few issues working together when it's easy to connect, communicate and transport goods (Schultz, 2013). Globalization has had many influences on our nation. Some were probably good and some were not so good. The Clinton administration represented it very energetically, it was the source that drove Clinton's expansion of fiber optic lines across the globe. Not everyone felt that this was a good idea. Protestors of globalization rallied outside a WTO meeting and put a halt to the meeting. Being

  • President Clinton's Impacts on the United States

    761 Words  | 2 Pages

    Have you impacted the United States like Bill Clinton has? Bill Clinton was born on August 19, 1946 in a small town of Arkansas. His father died before he was even born. He was not raised to be religious, but at a very young age he was attending church every Sunday morning alone. Growing up he had to see his stepfather’s abusive behavior towards both his mother and step-brother. When he was 17 years old and attending school he got an invitation to meet President John F. Kennedy at the White House Rose Garden, that’s when he realized what he wanted his career to be. During the 1992 election, on November 3, he became the forty second president. Clinton’s reputation suffered dramatically from a scandal in his personal life. Although Bill Clinton had an affair while being President, he impacted the United States by eliminating the federal deficit and overseeing the strongest economy, managed to remake the images and operations of the Democratic Party, and reforming welfare and changing the environment.

  • The Legacy of President Bill Clinton

    730 Words  | 2 Pages

    People will always remember Bill Clinton, for what reason, however, might be different. Some might remember him as a wonderful president who helped our country pull through the millennium unscathed. He protected our environment, promoted education, strengthened our economy, dropped the crime rate, dropped our nation’s poverty levels and had some victories with international policies. At the same time we have health care that is falling apart, some problems with the military and a scandalous affair. Considering this one has to wonder what his legacy will be. A respected leader who learned as he went and made many valuable reforms? Or a president who didn’t hold to his promises, and lied to the country? President Clinton has done many things during his presidency. Some were good some were bad. He made some mistakes and bad choices, but in the whole, he helped our country excel and flourish.

  • The Post-9/11 Globalization Era and its Aftermath

    1140 Words  | 3 Pages

    The period following the September 11, 2001 attacks is often accepted as the beginning of the current era. Politics, society and countries saw a stark and rapid change following the attacks. Security at the expense of privacy is regarded as the defining characteristic that often differentiates policies and habits before and after 9/11. Increased international communication furthered globalization and raised a generation that is accustomed to being aware of international affairs. Current discourse suggests that 2016 may be the beginning of the next era. An era that is characterized by a retaliation against globalization and the domination of political elites. Growing resentments to globalism and elitism manifested in the form of the Occupy Wall

  • The Globalization Paradox, by Dani Rodrik

    1441 Words  | 3 Pages

    Welcome to college! You can only afford to maintain two of the next three options: adequate sleep, a social life, and good grades. In Dani Rodrik’s new book- The Globalization Paradox, a similar triangle is evinced. The author presents us with a “trilemma” consisting of Hyperglobalization, Democratic politics, and the Nation-State. You can efficiently balance two of these three triangle “corners”– but no more than two. Rodrik claims our current worldview on globalization is that the more of it- the merrier. Yet this is flawed thinking in the fact that bigger globalization isn’t necessarily better globalization, instead we need to strive for “smart” globalization over “maximum” globalization. Rodrik uses a vast amount of real world events, past and present theories, and statistics as evidence. In this essay I will first give a brief overview of Rodrik’s main argument and his evidence supporting it. Moreover, I will attempt to compare Rodrik’s argument(s) to Friedman’s. Finally, I will analyze the specific claim Rodrik makes (and one I found most interesting) concerning hyperglobalization’s hindrance on national democracies.

  • Summary: The Occupy Wall Street Movement

    The First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press, although that guarantee is not unrestricted (Applegate, 2007). Freedom of speech should not be subjected to political interference; yet, censorship is necessary in matters of national and military security (Applegate, 2007). Members of the press enjoy the First Amendment of free speech and free expression, but face criminal or tort liability if reporting is done undercover or information is leaked (West, 2014). I believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press is the basic right of all reporters, as it is for all individuals. However, correspondents should conform to the highest ethical standards, respect the privacy of all citizens, and maintain the highest regard for confidentiality

  • Globalization And Arbitrage Strategies

    1293 Words  | 3 Pages

    The general public and policymakers have mistakenly perceived an exaggerated view of globalization throughout the years. The greatest misconception among many about globalization is the overestimation of its impact on the U.S economy. Globalization is the method a company uses to diffuse internationally benefiting from the free flow of exports and imports within different countries. According to Ghemawat’s article “Globalization in the Age of Trump”, globalization has been the culprit for major financial events and trade wars, while maintaining a steady rate throughout the years. Globalization is expected to continue advancing despite President Trump’s attempts to enforce localization by generating a trade war with foreign nations.

    Now, before I bash globalization it is some positive I would like to discuss. Globalization is great for the American economy; we can supply the world with our goods and services, which in turn can possible, relieve the deficit we’re in. “Homegrown industries see trade barriers fall and have access to a much wider international market. The growth this generates allows companies to develop new technologies and produce new products and services.” (Buzzle) Also, globalization leads to better relations between countries when they create trade agreements. Globalization does not drain every under-developed company but brings a new era of economic change and the hope of being a world super power to certain nations. “Economic globalization gives governments of developing nation’s access to foreign lending. These funds are used on infrastructure including roads, health car...

  • Globalization and Localization

    1529 Words  | 4 Pages

    Globalization can best be seen in the political and economic realms of society. In general, globalization is an "open door" type of policy in which different nations "feed" off of each other. In the political arena, they can learn from one another. What has proven to be inefficient by one, can be assumed so by the other. Following this train of thought, one can see a globalizing effect happening with democracy. This form of government has proven its longevity and usefulness in more than one area of the world, and in more than one culture. Economically, globalization encourages international trade and the exchange of ideas. Countries can share their resources and advancements in technologies. This should not only enhance the trade and thus economies of countries, it should also increase the possibilities of quicker technological change. In a sense, two minds are better than one.
