globalization on developing countries and developed nations. In Kelsey Timmerman’s novel “Where Am I Wearing”, his search revealed mixed conclusions about globalization. When he met factory workers in China, Cambodia, and Bangladesh, he saw the positive impact of globalization in that more people had better opportunities and were coming out of poverty.
