Good or bad, it's happening and a smart player acknowledged this and makes the necessary adjustments to equip himself to meet this new reality.Id it ishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10933156607975500727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10630314.post-1145470067818158462006-04-19T19:07:00.000+01:002006-04-19T19:07:00.000+01:00I don't agree, while some will benifit.

Those whose standards of living decline will not benifit.<BR/>Globalization is more likely to lead to poorer working conditions (for those in the "1st world") and greater control over workers for the global players in business.<BR/><BR/>Those who live in "poorer" countries will benifit in the short term, until the companies move on to the next cheaper country.<BR/><BR/>All of this effects those communities where jobs are lost.<BR/><BR/>As you can see, I feel quite passionate about this subject. Mainly because examples like this go un-noticed but when added up one by one - our community and standard of life is being pulled apart.</B>robmaccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196866711843409964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10630314.post-1145469440340643892006-04-19T18:57:00.000+01:002006-04-19T18:57:00.000+01:00Globalization is a fact now.

THe problem is that we see the consequences before the benefits.<BR/>Bye.Jotabellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558036415937933746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10630314.post-1145466974054220372006-04-19T18:16:00.000+01:002006-04-19T18:16:00.000+01:00I know what you mean, people like farmers or cotto...<B> I know what you mean, people like farmers or cotton growers in the "third world" suffer from price deflation because of the large global retail players and now we're starting to see multinational companies pulling out of the UK (and France,Germany etc)and transfering to Eastern Europe or Asia. The main reasons seem to be costs and the red tape in Western Europe.<BR/><BR/>Peugeot will be moving to Eastern Europe and they are not the last, but part of a growing trend.<BR/><BR/>It's the replacement jobs that fill the gaps that leaves me worried. Jobs in the service industry pay peanuts when you compare the two sectors. The loss of 2,300 jobs means less spending power and a poorer community.<BR/><BR/>As you can see - I am not a hugh fan of globalization!</B>robmaccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196866711843409964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10630314.post-1145399604151831322006-04-18T23:33:00.000+01:002006-04-18T23:33:00.000+01:00Bad news for Coventry; how naff.People think that ...Bad news for Coventry; how naff.<BR/><BR/>People think that would benefit from Globlisation, and only those in the "3rd world" (i hate that term) would suffer...yet it affects everyone in some way<BR/><BR/>do i even make sense?!muse-ichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181456616650486841noreply@blogger.com
