Globalization ( Job Loss .... Job Creation )

Hallo

I am new to this forum would like to discuss some issues with regards to globalisation

Does globalisation lead to loss of jobs in the developed world and creation of new jobs in developing and under developed world ?

We see this happening since many companies shift their production development to developing countries to cut costs , but this attitude leads to loss of jobs in their native country and also the profits which the companies achive lies in the private hands of company and does not in any way benefit the native home country of the company.

But this uplifts the life of millions of people in the developing world from poverty.

So i think globalisation means Job Loss somewhere leads to Job Creation somewhere

Comments welcome...

Regards

True dat man.

I don't have a problem with globalization itself. The only thing that bothers me is when business men knowingly open a business in a country with laxed safety standards that would never fly in the home country.

It's not really true to say that profits don't benefit the native country. The money has to be spent somewhere, so it will eventually land in the hands of other people.

Globalization is a good thing tho. Sure a couple jobs are lost, but for society at large benefits from potentially cheaper products. Also lesser developed countries have a lower opportunity cost than us, so theoretically it lets Americans specialize in more refined careers. It extends knowledge to foreign places, and allows the creative minds there to add to the collective information pool of humanity. As a world superpower it definately sucks to have our power taken away, but then again how many kings want to share their power?

 

It does have a negative affect on the home country the two countries now share a commonwealth. And the one on top declines so, the one underneath can rise.

I just don’t like the way we ( the United States), are offered up on a platter for the whole world to feed on. I realize we have done it to ourselves- we being big business.

 

If ya gonna make an omlette you've gotta break a few eggs!
We in the developed nations have been enjoying abundance while ignoring the poverty of our brothers and sisters in more poverty stricked countries. For myself I believe that I would rather take a piece of cake and pass it on, rather than let it dry up in the frig because of a fear of scarcity.A second dollar is of no use until you spend the first one,saving is hording.people in other countries are as precious too this orb as we americans are.It seems a good thing to create a financial policy for using the resource of everyone in the worlds talent and intellect thus eliminating the self righteous giving of alms from the non profit,tax evading organizations and churches.It's an aweful thing to be beholding to others for necessities.

 

you say hording - i say planning ahead. -chance favors the prepaird mind.

 

Tanasi, are you just saying we should share what we have? 'Cause I personally don't have anything to share, but the government continues to raise taxes so they can do just that: share. I just can't condone this when I've waited 2 years to get a new eye prescription, eye-sight steadily getting worse and affecting my ability to drive, and a solution completely out of my reach despite working myself to death. So I should be taxed more so we can give to other people? And you can't call me selfish for wanting to keep what I've earned so I can feed and clothe myself and maybe, possibly, take care of my health.
There's poverty here too. I know, I'm one of the impoverished and I just don't have anything to give.

 

There has been no finger pointed at any one person or group of people, we are talking about globalization. If one is poor then they are not part of the problem as they have nothing themselves.It is beyond me why the working class goes knee-jerk everytime anyone speaks of helping someone since the working class have already lost just about all they can lose in the u.s. I am speaking of a level playing field,worldwide,which no one should oppose unless they happen to be born into an elite family and feel they are entitled by nature to be wealthy while others can't afford eyecare. As I write there is somewhat clear vision from my left eye,the right is covered by a cataract,but this does not mean that I should ignore others in places like Haiti where even before the quake people depended on hand outs from others to survive. Did these people just piss what ever god is popular today off so they were born into poverty.Perhaps others can follow the pat robertson view of deals with enities, I sir cannot.Just because it bears on this conversation, I made $7000 gross income in 2009 and gave away an air-stream camper to people who were on the street, a 1989 bluebird camper bus and walked away from other possessions as well, material objects and bank accounts are only two things in life.I am sorry for you being near blind at 22 years old, I am also sorry for the mothers who watch as their children starve to death in poverty,regardless of country, divided we can only share a crumb as a whole world of people we can share a universe. Even the most conservative person agrees with the phrase"give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and he can feed himself for life", are we now saying, no no ,they need to buy their fish from us?

 

This is the problem. Prosperity is being limited and that's why there is poverty.

You assume that I'm selfish. Certainly not. I was laid off a month ago and I've spent nearly all of my last paycheck on people other than myself. But I can't trade my survival for someone else's. And globalization doesn't level the playing field. Huge things are harder to run efficiently. Take for instance large companies that can't run themselves properly, or even profitably, because the workers have been reduced to ants and communication is extinct.
We're all better off enabled to take care of ourselves, not spoon-fed and put in diapers. What makes you think globalization will include democracy?

 

"Cause I personally don't have anything to share",

"I know,I'm one of the impoverished and I don't have anything to give".

"I've spent nearly all of my last paycheck on people other than myself".

See we can all give something, I do not think or assume that you are selfish as a matter of fact I believe and assume that we agree. You help others and I help others, now if we could just get everyone to help others,we're set.

 

My point is that our money is being given to other countries when we need it ourselves. I wasn't asked if I wanted to share; my money was taken from me through taxation, money I really need, and given to someone else without my permission. Whether or not they needed it is irrelevant. Taking from the poor to help the poor just creates more poor.

 

i've seen the future- its a loosing game-- in the end we all grow old and die

 

What your looking for is a government that is run very different than what we have today. We are at an awkward time in our development. We can all see that in the end one global government is inevitable, one government that protects the environment above all else.

But at what point do we start aiming for that. The problem is that our leaders already are.
We need to begin colonizing space. We need to manage the resources we have here for that purpose.

I would like to see our species survive. I want to see Gene Rodenberry’s vision come true. Us wandering space and running into other forms of us.
