Wow, you're smart. Write to the New York Times and straighten them out. They've been creating havoc for decades. No wonder nobody's reading that paper.

Globalization REALLY IS about free trade. Of course, countries would not engage in free trade unless they received an advantage. You should look into the term "comparative advantage." We ship jobs overseas because labor is cheaper there. If corporations continued to work in the U.S., some would go out of business entirely because of labor costs. Also, you could say goodbye to the low prices at stores like Wal-Mart, which benefit the lower class more than anyone. The U.S. is not on a quest for global domination, and to suggest such a thing is quite short-sighted and paranoid. Last time I checked, the countries who were doing the worst had closed borders (i.e. North Korea). China is the world's fastest growing economy and we don't have a stranglehold on them. Free trade is no way a type of neo-colonialism. Countries invite the U.S. and other countries to trade with them because of the benefits it will bring to them.

If anyone benefits from Free Trade they are the Affluent and Powerful men(mostly white) in the United States. How do they do it ? The use of Lobbyer's that have Congress passing laws that weaken rights of ordinary Americans and protect Wealthy individuals and Multi-National Conglomerates.
The Muslims and Jews created the middle class and so Zionist would not do as you have written.
A Zionist just believes that the nation of Israel has the right to exist and it should not give away the West Bank and Jerusalem to the Arabs.
The People's Republic of China is already benefiting since their economy is growing exponentially and their profits will allow them to modernize their military and eventually be as powerful as the US Military

Absolutely Not! Globalization is about the dropping of all borders and trade laws so the world can be controlled by the multi-national corporations, who have no alliance to any single country, the only thing they care about is profits. And most of them are no longer based in the US either.

Yup, it's more about global dominance rather than a world without borders.
It could also be the third, anything is possible nowadays.

In some instances China benefit more from it with their under valued currency. I don't see how it can be seen as global domination by the US when it gives unfair advantages to countries like China in many situations.

well first the united states don't seek and have never been kind to global domination if that was the case it would have happen long time ago. and if it was about free trade we take the losing end.

Globalization is about the global domination of the CAPITAL. It does not matter if it comes from US , Israel, China or Saudi Arabia.

Globalization is meant to benefit all member countries due to cooperation in trade and economic activities. However, it is being used by the US for its interests like getting support in times of war.

I don't see it is about real free trade. Unfortunately, the other two options (combined) seem more likely regarding "globalization".
