How has globalization impacted you personally in the past week?

Question

That there are costs and benefits is obvious. I'm wondering how they materialize at the individual level.

Answer 1

bought foreign-grown groceries, ate at a restaurant that employs immigrants, called parents back in my home country

Answer 2

It made me vote for an ultra-conservative in the republican party primary election for a seat in congress that is up for election this November. Immigration = balkanization. It has to be stopped.

Since the person was basically a nobody and his opponent was one of the most well known people in american politics, the results are very telling. The ultra-conservative nobody got 25% of the vote. That's alot considering my state is largely democrat and the republican who got the nomination is both conservative and anti-immigration.

People in this country aren't anti-immigration. They are RABIDLY anti-immigration....with good reason.

Answer 3

Past week ? Well, it did not have any impact on me in the past week.

But in long term, I'll have lots of opportunities as lots of industries need people like me in their company.

For those in business, the strong survive, the weak will be kicked out of the games. That's the truth.

Answer 4

cost of fuel to run my truck has risen to 30.9 cents/mile this month from 23.9 cents per mile in January.
