Protest Globalization
When I look at the word Globalization many things come into my mind. However, the most positive of them consist of; a world that is more connected, the sharing of different thoughts and ideas and a world in which there are almost no barriers on what we listen to, read and even think. My generation has grown up in the prime of this and I have seen first hand the goodness that can come out of it and I have benefited in many ways from it. However, where there is a good side to Globalization, there too must be a bad one and that can be seen in the term Corporate Globalization. This term has been used a lot in the past decade, not only by me but by people all over the world that have seen the horrible affects of Corporations going global.

These subjects all add up to the reasons why people are protesting Corporate Globalization. It has become recognized that it is not Globalization that is at fault for the problems that these Third World countries face, because Globalization was meant to happen. With the new communication technologies that are being discovered every day it was bound to happen that everyone all over the world would see the effects and although some may benefit form them more than others, the people that aren't directly benefiting from them will eventually and in some indirect way are; whether it is t
