Summary - The Double Edge of Globalization (Draft 1)



Globalization has its pros and cons. On one hand, it leads to expansion of trades while on the other hand; it results in adverse impact on the environment. Effects of globalization include deforestation, global warming and pollution. These problems contributed to major environmental issues such as accounting for 20 percent of global carbon emissions, floods and air pollution. Critics argued that global corporations shift their operations to countries with weak environmental policies to avoid taxes, but the main reason for the shift was found out to be the size of the local market. Efforts to reduce global warming have been effective, with more nations gaining awareness of globalization and the successful shrinkage of the ozone hole by the Montreal Protocol. The negative impact of globalization could be further minimized if the major powers of countries are willing to use both media influence and political power to promote change.
