  1. 1. I think the world is a better place because of globalization, easy access to information is something we should be grateful for. I don't know for sure if the world would be better without it but it would definitely be different.
    2. No, it depends on the development capacity of each country.
    3. A clear example is the United States.
    4. It is assumed that the standard of living and job opportunities have increased although in some countries the benefits have been greater.
    5. Globalization has allowed companies to grow, but the environment suffers. The means of transportation, the construction of new facilities and the exploitation of resources has caused the world's pollution to increase.
    6. Globalization is neither the problem nor the solution, it depends on people's intentions whether the effects will be good or bad.
    7. Maybe. The opportunities that countries have thanks to globalization create rivalry and sometimes it is this rivalry that turns into conflicts.
    8. Technological advances and information may increase, but there will be aspects that will stagnate, natural resources are not eternal and if we do not take proper care of them we will lose them.

  2. Question #4: I think thanks to globalization the manufacturing costs decreases because organizations get to pay and hire anyone who they want, and those are usually the cheapest labor force. Which makes the services and/or products they offer to their customers end up being of average quality. It’s good to know how other countries or cultures do what it’s being made, but there need to be respect for whom they’re trying to “copy” or on whom they are basing their production methods.

  3. Q2: No, it affects specially those countries that does not have the resources to compete in production or distribution of their products.

  4. 8- Yes, I consider that it will be more globalized. We've already experienced all the advantages that globalization can give us, and it would be really hard to stop or control our consumption, that governments stop receiving investment, and that rich countries stop taking advantage of free trade.
