The term Globalization can be briefly defined as the patterns of trade and investment, which are expanded worldwide. As an economy flourished, workers would move to areas with higher wages. Not only does globalization have to do with economic activity, but also the relationships of a culture and its people, even though it usually is referring to the economic aspect. The global spread of a market model had many aspects that are criticized. The effects of the political, cultural, social and economic aspects of globalization have critics asking themselves: have the benefits of globalization been exaggerated, and most importantly have the costs been underestimated? The poorer countries as a result suffer the most. While free trade encourages globalization among countries, some countries try to protect their local suppliers. The main export of poorer countries is usually something that they farmed, like corn or wheat. Larger, richer countries usually support their own farmers, then that lowers the market price for crops that are imported from the poorer countries that need the money from their crops. Now because the poorer countries continue to suffer due to the larger countries using their own local crops, the poor countries have to lower their wages to attempt to make any money they can despite not selling their own crops to the larger countries. The small countries also use children workers if they don’t have laws forbidding them to do so. Using children to work, allows for even lower wages to these children and then in return the crop owners make slightly more money. These aspects that are criticized are very controversial because of their nature, and coming from a large flourishing country, the norms in the larger countries are different than those from the smaller, poor countries.
