Conclusion
Globalization is good, but like most other things, it has a
dark side. Globalization connects the world, but we also
have to be aware of the damage it may cause to us, and
other nations. One way we can be more aware, is by
watching out for incidents where anyone is getting their
money unfairly taken away, or is not being paid the
amount they deserve. We should not antagonize
Globalization, but we should not rejoice in it either.
