Dear Citizens of the World,

Do you believe that globalization brings more positive benefits or more negative consequences to the world?

Do you believe that the negative consequences could be controlled? Why or why not? What do you think should be done?

In my opinion, we are at the beginning stage of the globalization process; and the process itself might be well compared to the industrial revolution in its complexity, and the degree of the impact it inflicts on the societies and cultures.
We well remember from our history lessons what the Industrial Revolution has done to the people of 18th, and 19th Century Americas and the Europe. In the end a great society had been built, but the price of it was rather high.
Armesto, F.F. (2008) The World a Brief History. “Industrialization uprooted lives, disrupted families, and imposed bleak working conditions in cities rife with filth and disease. Visiting the British city of Manchester in 1835 , Alexis de Tocqueville, considered the greatest social analyst of his time, recoiled from factories that keep air and light out of human habitations which they dominate; they envelop them in perpetual fog here is the slave , there is the master; there is the wealth to some here the poverty of most.” Yet she wrote, “From this filthy sewer, pure gold flows.”
Alexis de Tocqueville words still apply to the majority of the world’s population; since the majority lives in a perpetual poverty; poverty even greater, from the time when the globalization process picked up its momentum in 1990’s, and 2000’s.
The globalization process at the present moment benefits very few people; mostly people living in the cities of the developed countries of Europe and America, to a lesser degree in Asia.
If I were a student of one of the liberal universities of America or Europe; I would be most likely ridiculed and scorned for writing
