globalization is a new version of colonialism, can it be make safe for poor countries?

Answer 1

No!!! Poor countries are the resource banks for the wealthy. They will use up those resources fueling our ever expanding economies. Then they will have to expand beyond the borders of this planet. It is not just poor countries. The wealthy exploit the resources and poor people of their own countries as well. The only hope for us is to stop playing their game. Don't buy their products. Don't take their "charity". Don't buy into their "aid programs." If we start living locally, meeting our basic needs with the resources we have we can all live well and the "global economy will crumble.

Answer 2

Yes, globalization can be made safe for poor countries. But will it be made safe? Probably not, since the powers responsible for the process of globalization are capitalistic in nature, and have a one-sided perspective about what constitutes a beneficial result. I would hope that the free market appetite will be moderated by the enlightened self-interest of the participants, but so far, conserving finite resources (in this case, the smaller powers and countries) has not been a commonly exhibited talent.

Answer 3

First I must disagree with the premise that globalization is linked to colonialoism. No need to defend this disagreement.

What processes are there for helping poor countries?
1) We can feed, shelter and provide health care (give the man a fish)
2) We can ignore them (hope they learn how to fish)
3) We can teach them and help them create jobs, shelter and healthcare systems (teach them to fish)

Numbe three is globalization. By sourcing factories and service centers in poor coutnries with teach them how to become part of developed societies. As they increase the GDP rapidly, through outsourcing from the developed nations, they begin taking their place in modern economics. Take the examples of Japan, South Korea, Germany and other such countries either after wars or as they come into the global economic structures.

Malaysia, Indonesia, Chian, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Brazil, Argentina, Venzuela, Chili, Mexico are all moving towards becoming developed nations through globalization.

I see no colonialism in any of these countries, do you?

Answer 4

I'd disagree with you on that. Colonialism was a manifestation of globalization in which the militarily superior exploited the militarily inferior.

Globalization as it exists today refers more to the opening of markets in both the developed and developing world. The U.S., for instance, is vulnerable to the export of labor, the influx of immigration, and to currency fluctuations caused by global financial pressures.

As far as "making" globalization, there's not much that can be done to change or amend it. Globalization is a phenomenon without central direction. What can be done is to provide more bargaining power in international negotiations, and better-educated analysts to understand the ramifications of trade agreements.

Answer 5

No, because human nature is greedy and its going to stay that way. There is enough on this planet for man's needs but not for man's greed.
