On Balance: Globalization has a positive effect.

R1- well thank you for your response "I'm not sure were you came up with the cutting down trees thing" it's what companies do giant corporates they cut down trees and put kids from the shanty's usually in south America and use kids to do labor for low wages which takes jobs away from us by moving their companies to India or China by the by where does this lowly boy from India live in? also he has a higher probability of dying before ever making it out of the slums http://thaso2.files.wordpress.com... I apologize but I highly doubt that anyone is going to make it out of the slums of India http://www.sonic.net... remember we are talking about the slums, sorry but don't know why you keep on trying to make this "lowly boy's" dreams come true because quite frankly its not going to happen. R2- better standard of living? if by better standard you mean poverty, global warming, and social degeneration then yes it does cause a better standard of living terms- social degeneration- Social degeneration is the breaking up of the coordination existing between the various social elements, individuals and the subgroups which cooperate in the social process, by the growth of so many antisocial elements that social unity is destroyed. This comes about by the growth of degeneracy among the individuals who make up society. Therefore, individual degeneracy has a direct bearing upon social degeneration, for degenerate individuals are either unsocial, or antisocial and are unable to cooperate in the aims and purposes of society. Notice how my opponent uses "not inherently" bad so he concedes that they are bad but not inherently bad. furthermore Multi-national corporations usually want to make money so they usually set up company's in Asia were as I said before is cheaper and there are lower wages so there's a decrease in jobs around the globe. R3- Europe has changed it's currency and is currently making more breakthroughs in technology than ever before. the past 60 years Europe has evolved and changed to meet demands however it's still not enough. "It is true that Europeans are losing jobs and that is posing a problem for them since the companies are outsourcing work to the Asian countries since the cost of labor is low and profits the company considerably."- pros and cons. Bad news China is already a powerhouse nation and India is not nor will be in the future and it doesn't seem that India is becoming more powerful china just seems powerful because all major worldwide corporations are there with low paying jobs. America and Europe are the ones leading the pack trying to create new jobs, new ideas, researching new technology's. This shows you how powerful corporate giants are one fail and the whole world goes to hell. and by the by we are not a labor based economy we are free market economy. R4- "In order to stay competitive.................prevent themselves from entering into a sharp decline."- opponent but that's just it there is no competition the company's are the ones who control globalization." As U.S. corporations have expanded their global reach they are better able to put the U.S. workforce in direct competition with foreign workers, thus increasing their profits while driving down our wages and general standard of living. Global corporations are better able to use technology to downsize their workforces, thus creating anxiety among working people who no longer feel secure about the future of their jobs." "There is immense pressure on the employed Europeans who are always under the threat of the business being outsourced. Corporates are building up units in other countries equally well equipped as they have done at their own country, thus transferring the quality to other countries." <(what I said before) I don't know why you're saying it's a countries governments fault when it's not it's major corporations who provide low paying jobs. Conclusion: With an overwhelming lack of evidence and many unthought out arguments my opponent fails to even address the resolution he doesn't say why globalization has a positive effect nor how, now hypothetical scenarios are not arguments merely opinions. He makes claims that he doesn't prove and furthermore he fails to refute any of my arguments made which by the way disprove his whole case so therefore because lack of evidence insufficient arguments supporting the resolution, and inconsistency with the arguments the resolution is negated. thank you for your time.
