Is Globalization “Good” for America?
Content: Also, globalization has increased the U.S. trade deficit, especially when concerning energy imports. Another negative effect of globalization is the repercussions that occur from the spreading of our ideas and values. As the United States values and ideals permeate into foreign cultures, some may embrace the new ideals, whereas some cultures may abhor them. An example of this is the attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. The United States has spread its relations throughout the world and this can lead to many conflicts between nations and more war if the countries do not take well to the new American influence. On the other hand, even though there are often more foreign jobs created for other nations because of globalization, expanding an overseas network usually means you have to hire more workers in the United States as well. These workers are often the IT, logistics, or management people and they work in the United States to aid the company that has expanded globally. In addition to the hiring of IT and other workers, globalization can also be seen as a “good” thing for Americans because it often means lower prices. Globalization allows for higher productivity, which is good for the economy. This higher productivity is the only way to create a higher standard of living.
