2/4 Readings

 After reading these three chapters I gained a better understanding of what globalization is by seeing how complex it can be depending on who is defining it, and how it is being looked at. Globalization can vary from immigration to business which in my opinion makes it difficult to give one clear definition to. In chapter 2 examples are given to why globalization may be seen as a negative thing to many, with the idea that the goal is to spread western ideology and for strictly monetary gain which often comes at an expense to the less fortunate. I think that this shows how difficult understanding how globalization works because it affects things all the way from the ground up to work. In Chapter 8 we can see the idea of neoliberalism brought up where some may look at it as unfair in a work sense. The main idea of this neoliberalism is to promote free markets and trade with limited government interference. These policies have faced scrutiny over the years which ties back into the earlier chapters that we can just define globalization as one thing really when there is so much involved.
