As an inhabitant of this world, we may be asked the question; “To what extent does globalization contribute to sustainable prosperity for all people.” This is a question that not many people can answer, while some will provide a vague definition of either globalization or sustainability that is off topic. This just shows how naïve we are to the world around us. As global citizens, I believe we should be more knowledgeable and have a broader understanding of events happening around the world. If people became more knowledgeable and understanding, they would see that there is more than meets the eye to these global issues, but more so that citizens would be able to help those in need and the environment stay sustainable for future generations.…
Sweatshops play a key role in moving people out of poverty. The others point to the economic benefits that sweatshops provide in developing countries with high rates of poverty. In fact, if by developed countries outsourcing labor to developing countries, they actually contributing some amount of wealth to those developing countries.

Outsourcing is the practice of obtaining goods or services from outside or foreign supplier. Some Americans are against outsourcing for a multitude of reasons.

The expanding globalization will not contribute to the sustainable prosperity for all people because of how we ship break and have no consideration of the toxic material goes into the ocean and destroys the environment around it, how we create pollution and how we also cut down a lot of our natural resources that we cannot sustain and compensate for how much we use, and how much we can grow back. With all of the things said above, we as a human society cannot support the existence without our basic human needs of water, food, and shelter when we have corrupted our environments to the point where we are not able to gather resources for those needs, and that is why I believe that globalization does not contribute to prosperity for all…
A positive effect outsourcing has, in accordance to sustainable prosperity, would be the obvious lower price of goods for consumers. Also, many jobs are created because of outsourcing, which helps economies overseas as well as their populations. Many potential workers would be jobless without outsourcing and because of it, the prosperity for all these workers is something made possible. A potential downfall for this form of globalization is the inevitable exploitation of these foreign workers, being paid low wages and not receiving the benefits that they should be entitled to. It also takes away thousands of jobs that could be filled in the home countries of these…

Foreign aid provided by developed states and international institutions, may result beneficial to many developing states, and few times allow them to prosper more than they otherwise would have on their own. It can be argued that such lucrative advancements in recipient countries are only temporary and in fact bring many impediments to the future progression of a nation. This is due to the many conditions that donor states or international institutions attach to their aid giving (packages); developing states need to abide by their guidelines. Often times, these conditions force developing states to remove trade barriers and open up their markets or even to show loyal support to American democratic regime. While aid giving is beneficial in many…
Looking at the situation using this theory we can decide if outsourcing is responsible and ethical to the goal. According to the video, there are “around 150 million jobs in the United States, and over 3 million created every year” (YouTube). With this in mind would outsourcing…
Outsourcing in America is a current problem that is occurring more and more very day. Outsourcing may make the product cheaper but, that doesn’t make anything better when the factory workers are laid off because all of the work they were doing got shipped overseas. Outsourcing is alright to a point but there needs to be limits on how much each company relies on other countries for products. There needs to be a balance to where there is enough production in the U.S. so Americans can still survive. Outsourcing is starting to get out of hand in the U.S. and something needs to happen to where there are still jobs in the U.S. for the people.…
Americans enjoy three things in life when purchasing something. The product must be cheap, trendy and benefit the home countries economy by producing a good. However, it is nearly impossible to find all three aspects in a product. As 2015 is coming to a close, it is virtually impossible to find items produced in this country.

Every hour of every day could be filled by the stories of a family’s breadwinner losing their job to cheap labor overseas when their greedy company decides to globalize. My perspective is driven by the effects of outsourcing will give the general public lower prices on goods, but will also destroy the U.S. economy in the long run. I do realize that globalization affects more than just Americans. When businesses move the majority of their jobs overseas, those countries experience a boom of economic growth and often bring them to the twenty-first century of technology. However, the U.S. economy doesn’t get affected as much as the loss of thousands of jobs would seem to cause.…
One of the largest benefits of globalization is to reduce poverty, as globalization leads to growth in a country through trade. Trade allows countries to be specialized in the goods and services in which they have a competitive advantage and import those goods and services they are not profitable, both Norberg and Bhagwati agree that trade increases competition and reduces monopolies throughout the global market place. Globalization has allowed both Taiwan and Vietnam to greatly reduce poverty levels and improve the standard of living across the…
Trade Liberalization The first benefit of globalization is trade liberalization. According to Stimpson & Singh (2008), “Trade Liberalization is the process of achieving freer international trade with fewer and fewer restrictions” (p. 70). It can result in additional access to capital flows, technology plus human capital, cheaper imports and greater export markets (International Monetary Fund, 2002). Providing a virtual market for oversea firms allows consumers to have a wider assortment available to them at a cheaper cost due to heightened competition (see Disadvantages).…
