What are the 3 biggest challenges of globalization that American will in the upcomming decade?

Answer 1

Acculturation of immigrant groups

Changes in employment, wages, and benefits

Demand for social and economic justice from other countries.

Answer 2

Trying to bring the third world countries to first world standard is by far the greatest challenge.

Making those changes will be close to impossible in order to have true globalization. The point of globalization is progress, some countries will not want to implement these changes, for some it will be impossible.

Many people in this country, for example, will not want to have an open border policy with Mexico and other countries in the Americas due to the third world status. Will it mean we will have to lower our standards? How would you implement it? How do you raise the standards of another country? To equalize it?

That is mainly what I see with globalization. In theory, it may sound good but in practice, it will be very difficult. BTW, I am against globalization, every country should be separate with there own standard and left to do as they see fit, to run there own countries....We can't ever be equal, look at communism, in theory it was great, in practice it was a disaster....

Answer 3

Of more consequence than anything else, further globalization will divide the world ever more distinctly into the categories of rich and poor.

What will be the ultimate outcome? World War III?

No. The now-rich nations will not make war on each other. They haven't in more than half a century, and that's a record. "But," you say, "What about Iraq? We'll be bogged down there just as we were in Vietnam."

I think you'd be correct, and we'd be bogged down for the same political reason. We really don't want to win a war over downtrodden people. Instead of maintaining a warped self-perception of ourselves as the peacekeepers of the world, we'd have to admit to being the global bully.

Think of the situation this way. The United States has the military weapons and delivery systems to turn the entire Middle East into glass (melted sand).

If we had really wanted to "win" in Vietnam, we could have recalled all of our ground troops and then bombed the country out of existence.

The fact is that corporate America needs to maintain a certain facade in order to do business internationally. We are also dependent on poor people to do the scud work that brings clothing, appliances, and various gadgets into our homes.

If Corporation X had to hire Americans to handle calls to their phone banks, they'd have to pay at least minimum wage, while bucking the trend toward offering a "living wage." Instead, why not funnel all phone calls to India or the Philippines? Workers cost a fraction of what we'd pay in this country. That will allow us to keep prices low, and therefore competitive with the products of other now-rich countries.

Of greater concern to our "leaders" should be the rapid development of certain countries that have been economically crippled by rapid population growth or central planning by a socialist regime.

I don't think that our leadership realizes that the world is in a constant state of flux. The nineteenth century was dominated by Great Britain, spreading its imperial hegemony to every corner of the globe.

The twentieth century was the American century. I think it actually started in 1898 when we won the Spanish-American War, acquired non-contiguous lands (like Guam and the Philippines), and established ourselves as being among the elite of world powers.

Many scholars believe that this hundred-year span will be the Asian Century. Although China still has a socialist central authority, almost nobody pays attention to in anymore. The urban resident of China is too concerned with making money and buying designer objects. Consequently, its annual economic growth rates are phenomenal.

India, a democracy but with a high population growth rate, has not been advancing quite as quickly as China because the continuous growth of population keeps per capita earnings low. But, at least among the better educated Indians, family planning is starting to make sense.

If we were the benevolent society that we claim to be, our three greatest challenges would be:

(1) equalize the distribution of wealth by separating the link between the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

(2) ensure peace by entering into mutual defense pacts, coupled with attractive economic packages that will give the poor countries at least a chance to change their fortunes through their own hard work and inventiveness.

3. Overcome racism. Judging people by the color of their skin is archaic, given what we've learned about the human genome. People in different climatic regions have skin color (along with some other physical characteristics) that is best for their environment.

If we can accomplish these three goals, we can then have a common basis with the world community for solving our mutual social problems, like global warming, environmental pollution, extinction of species, availabilty of health coverage, etc.

This has been a long answer, but your question has so many ramifications that one could write a book on the topic and still only scratch the surface.

Answer 4

1. The end of manufacturing as an area which employs a large number of people.

2. Less certainty <==> greater flexibility <==> more rapid change.

3. The concept of 'home' becoming independent of a physical place or geographical location.

Answer 5

That is a hard funny question. 1st I would say people's lack of wanting to change. look at the price of gas and wages in the country. at the rate that are work force is going in about ten more years your going to just have to levels of income rich and poor there will no longer be any other classes at all. 2nd are military younger people are not wanting to join any more I did 10years and want to get back in but, due to well placed tattoos I'm unable. 3rd lack of trade world wide and future commodities are farmers are being hurt and hurt bad. lack of funding and growth for mall's and houses are starting to hurt them.

Answer 6

gas, global warming, job market..oh did you say decade i meant this year

Answer 7
