GLOBALIZATION THROUGHOUT HISTORY

POSITIVES

• Countries are more abate to work together

NEGATIVES

• The bigger cultures may stamp out smaller, lesser known ones.
• If one country were to have a massive economic break down, it may lead to break downs and shake the global economy.
• Outsourcing may lead to more developed countries loosing jobs.

GLOBAL WARMING

CLIMATE CHANGE

• Global warming is a very bad problem, affecting the whole world and leading to many other problems.
• Basically, the earth's average temperature is raising, which leads to an increased likelihood of natural disasters, extinction and loss of habitat.

The article I read portrayed global warming in a very negative light and insisted that developed countries and big contributors need to work harder to decrease their impact.

Because this is a global issue, it requires global attention, globalization is likely one cause for this but so is human development which are connected. Globalization could help interconnected countries to work together to tackle this problem.
