GLOBALIZATION IS BAD
(Prosecution)

Hi, my names are Samuel Osagie. I am here to argue that globalization is bad.
The concept of globalization was introduced as an ongoing process of greater economic,
political, and social interdependence among countries and its citizens. But toady,
globalization has brought gross negative economic, cultural and climatic impact to many
part of the world. The negative impact of globalization far outweighs the short term gains.

• Globalization has rendered the governments of developing countries powerless and

Left them at the mercy of foreign investors. Through this idea of globalization, many
Developing countries are being exploited by international corporations from
developed countries.

• Globalization has made many international corporations richer by the billions. What
most people are not aware of is that these international corporations go to
developing countries to set up businesses and use women as their labour force and
pay them penults, one of horrible things about all these, is that, these women are
suffering enormously due to the barbaric and despicable working conditions that
these outsourced international corporations subject them to. These women do jobs
which citizens of their country wouldn’t do. According to estimate from ‘World
Development Indicators’, “Women work two-third of the world working hours,
produce half of the world’s food, earn only ten percent of the world’s income, and
own less than one percent of the world’s property”.
• Another reason why globalization is bad is that, globalization is another level of
social inequality. One out of six people, globally, do not have a safe home, clean
water, health care or food. Since globalization took effect, there is substantial
increase in the number of people living in poverty in Africa and Asia. Statistic has it
that for every 10% rise in wealth, there is 18% more fall in poverty level. Globalization
makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.
• Thirdly, why globalization is bad? Globalization is bad, because it is ripping many
developing countries of their cultural beliefs and values. The introduction of social
networking systems like the Youtube, Facebook and so on, which indoctrinate
youths of non-western countries with western cultures, thereby giving up their noble
cultures.
• Lastly, from my own point, globalization is bad, because of its negative impact on the
global climate system. As a result of the rapid industrialization and free flow of
goods and services around the world which globalization has created, there has
been huge increase in emissions of greenhouse gases that are deploring the global
climatic system, which in turn is making human inhabitation unsafe.

• I would conclude by saying, globalisation is nothing else other than “a barbaric
western ideology to enslave and exploit developing countries”, thank you!
