Cons of Globalization
Increased environmental damage
increased poverty, inequality, injustice
erosion of traditional culture
Corporations are motivated by profit
and have little concern for people
economic globalization developments
feed into ethnic, religious, and factional
tensions that lead to wars and help
breed terrorism
Terrorists now globally interconnected
and empowered with knowledge, create
a whole new category of warfare based,
in part, on the disruption of the
interconnections which are both created
by and necessary for globalization
