Answer 1

CONS:

- Internationalisation of production

- Hyper-mobility of funds
- Market driven restructuring
- Diminishing authority of governments (sovereignety)
- Disparity between wealth of TNC's and the countries that they exploit
- Limited assistence to targetted populations
- Damage to the environment
- Less restrictions and laws in countries where Trans National Corporations set up practice.
- Less (if any) taxes are paid to the exploited countries
- TNCs cannot be readily held accountable in courts.
- International courts have few (if any) powers to deal with TNC's.
- Emphasis on profit over ethical considerations.
- other ethical considerations.
- Loss of land (colonisation etc)
- Loss of culture due to increase in spread of people and information. - Is this bad or good?

PROs:

- Increased flow of information (internet, etc.) - accessed by people (poor or not) world wide - educational oppurtunities
- Increased access to products and services
- Increase in revenue for exploiter.
- Poor people of exploited countries have an income - even if it is not a magnificent income, it is still SOME money.
- Multi-culturalism.
- etc.

Answer 2

Without equality of treatment (human rights), it allows one country (USA) to lose all manufacturing and high skill jobs that can be outsourced while other countries(China) can round people up into forced labor camps (and execute troublemakers to harvest their organs and collagen for sale). Without equal enviromental control laws, manufacturing that cannot be done in the USA, can be done at sea or in foreign lands that are becoming so toxic the human lifespan is half that of the USA, disease, cancer, mutations, birth defects, etc. are rampant, the croplands are destroyed and rivers turn all kinds of psychedelic colours as the aquatic life dies off. The problem, BIG problem, is the pollution, overpopulation and diseases becomes globalized too, it does not stay confined by national boundaries. Pollution from China drifts across the ocean to this continent, the same as ours probably drifts over Canada and the UK. Globalization benefits people who can afford to buy into mutual funds and stocks, those who run the companies, and those whose governments tax those people/companies and live on a nice salary, pension plan and benefits, while those of us who are reduced to finding a service industry type job that can't be exported, have to deal with illegal immigrants competing unde rthe table, and paying more taxes while trying to pay for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation back and forth to work, and if you are lucky enough to own a home, they are doing everything possible to tax you out of it. Meanwhile, what was a industrial giant that helped bring the rest of the world into the 20th century, is fast becoming only a raw goods exporting colony subject to the whims of foreign policies, and trying to comply with Kyoto will reduce us to the stone age. We are already 18 TRILLION dollars in debt, we can't afford any blackmail money in teh guise of "global warming", and it won't make any difference what we do anyways. More regulations and expense just means that what remaining industries and wealthy people, will just pack up and leave the rest of us in the hole they dug. It also means, that like "globalized" Ireland during the potato famine, when all the corn and wheat were exported by the English overlords, foreign intrests will take the food out of our mouths if there is a worldwide food shortage, which is the outlook if the droughts continue.
