Explain the implications of globalization
There are several implications when it comes to globalization, some can be good, and some can be bad. I will first start off with the good implications of globalization, such a as the enormous rise in economic growth, workable trading throughout nations, technology advancement and even introducing diversity into new countries. This means introducing global citizenship since valuing diversity is one of the most important outcomes of being a global citizen. Nevertheless , here are the bad implications of globalization such as diseases that spread across borders( note which we are currently dealing with) , terrorism, and threats to global environment (Bhargava, 2006). Having the trading with other nation I feel might go wrong , because the outcomes could be very bad and tragic and can lead to the economic and sociological destruction of one nation.

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO),4 global unemployment is set to rise in 2014, with more than 200 million people without work across the world. Youth unemployment in the Middle East and North Africa will remain at close to 30% until 2017. In parts of southern Europe, between 33% and 50% of young people eligible to work are unemployed. Overall unemployment in the euro area is forecast to remain at close to 12% into 2015. Unemployment, especially long-term unemployment, often leads to discouragement and loss of human capital.

physical and mental ill-health, imposing continuing burdens on health and welfare systems and ultimately having a negative impact on growth.

must be the priority for the
G20. This demands action on the demand side and the supply
side. The policy menu the Members of the Global Agenda
Council on Employment outlined last year remains highly
relevant, but the Council is also calling for:
Practical action to implement commitments made
3. at the G20, and much better economic policy
coordination at the international level .In those countries with
the fiscal space to do so,
action to sustain aggregate demand, with clear commitments to
employment enhancing public investment.
Explain how globalization contributes to or affects these ethical
dilemmas.
I would say the affects of globalization contrition would be
social media . I say social media because daily you get spam
messages which makes you seem like if you click on the link
you win a special price or money . Not reAlizing it’s a scam!
They was asking for your personal information and they make
it seem like it’s legit . 2020 did an documentary on how spam
scam artist are getting paid , people sending their hard earn
money and saving them to people in foreign places.
Propose solutions to these ethical dilemmas that are feasible
financially, socially, and culturally.
As it relates to income inequality, I think that if laws were put
in place every individual was seen as one regardless of their
gender or race then that would decrease the income inequality
issues.

Explain the implications of globalization
The implications of globalization can either lie on the positive
side or the negative side. On the positive side, globalization
fosters peace, stability, global prosperity, and democracy
(Bhargava, 2006). On the negative side, it has resulted in issues
of environmental mismanagement, heightened poverty levels,
and increased inequality. Some scholars view globalization as
the mask for imperialists dominating the developing nations. It
has resulted in the cultural imperialism from the Western
nations because of the global interconnectedness related to
culture and the enhanced economic interconnectedness. The
COVID-19 pandemic being experienced in the world has been
fostered by globalization.
Identify at least two ethical issues that go along with the global
societal topic you have chosen for your final essay.
The topic selected for my final essay is “the spread of diseases
due to climate change; the case study of Malaria". The topic is
highly related to climate change which has been greatly affected
by globalization. One of the ethical issues noted earlier
regarding globalization is the environmental mismanagement
(Shawn, Cedric, & Yuchuan, 2019). Global companies set up
5. their manufacturing process in developing countries and fail to
factor in environmental sustainability. Thus, it results in
environmental issues that affect the lives of people and
consequently result in climate change. Another ethical issue
emanating from globalization is the increased poverty
specifically in Sub-Saharan Africa where mining companies
explore dig trenches and leave the land in a bad state. The
mining pits fill with water and harbor mosquitoes causing
increased malaria cases. The mining operations only benefit the
few rich while the rest remain in absolute poverty and thus
cannot afford basic needs like healthcare.

The oversight boards of global operations need to create
policies that foster environmental sustainability for all
manufacturing and production companies in the world to reduce
the negative impacts the activities cause has on the
environment. Moreover, the companies that conduct mining
operations must take part in corporate social responsibility by
creating poverty alleviation programs, community
empowerment, and building schools and hospitals for the
society.
