Globalization is creating pollution, a decrease in employment, it's making people lose their tradition, and it's making people be abused at their work. In the article The Global: Sneaker From Asia to Everywhere, it explains how pollution affects our environment. Some factories dump toxic waste into rivers or streams, which expose deadly fumes to our air. If geographers believe that the world may not have enough resources for the whole population, then why are they wasting one of our valuable resource?

The problem comes in when companies aren’t directly selecting factory locations and supervising the conditions of the workplace. Most of the time, the companies outsource this project to a supplier and they may inevitably use child labor to meet the demand of the company. If the company doesn’t perform strict…

    and they don’t care because they are just making money, do you think this is fair? To work for long hours, getting paid very poor, and working in such horrible conditions. The “Child Labor Article” states, “The proposed laws could actually push more children into the workforce, endangering their education and putting them at greater risk of exploitations” (Los Angeles Times, 2). This quote is saying that even though the government is trying to create new laws to help end child labor, they could be putting more children into a workforce.…

    As an inhabitant of this world, we may be asked the question; “To what extent does globalization contribute to sustainable prosperity for all people.” This is a question that not many people can answer, while some will provide a vague definition of either globalization or sustainability that is off topic. This just shows how naïve we are to the world around us. As global citizens, I believe we should be more knowledgeable and have a broader understanding of events happening around the world. If people became more knowledgeable and understanding, they would see that there is more than meets the eye to these global issues, but more so that citizens would be able to help those in need and the environment stay sustainable for future generations.…

    Since 1938, federal labor laws have left out child farm workers from labor protections given to other working children. Unlike most other jobs, children over the age of 12 can legally work in agriculture if they have their parent’s permission and are working on the same farm as their parents. Children are allowed to work in the fields at very young ages, for many hours a day. Because of this, hundreds of thousands of U.S. children work in agriculture. Many of the workers haven’t been allowed legal status to live in the United States and therefore are treated unfairly and are not give basic rights.…

    In developing countries that are in continents such as Asia, Africa, South America, and Eastern Europe, there are not many regulations about child labor; even if there are regulations, governments can be bribed and do they do not ensure that the laws are being followed. Companies often just want to get the cheapest labor, so they do not really care if they have to resort to unethical things such as child labor. Many times children and adults are forced to work for low wages in horrible conditions, and that is very unjust. Unjust wages and bad working conditions for the workers is another thing that mangers dealing with international business may deal with.
