Another illness that is mentioned in the book is diabetes. As Dr. Moalem describes it, “In diabetics, the process through which insulin helps the body use glucose is broken, and the sugar in the blood builds up to dangerously high levels.” The body either fails to produce enough insulin, or the body tissues become resistant to insulin, leading to high levels of glucose in the blood. The elevated levels of glucose build up in certain organs and the high glucose concentration in these organs can lead to serious complications, such as blindness, heart disease, stroke, vascular disease, nerve damage, and kidney damage. Some of the symptoms include fatigue, thirst, hunger, blurry vision, and the frequent need to urinate.

I first off want to say that you have provided great definitions of industrialization and globalization. I agree with you that companies are out there looking for products that are produced at the cheapest price possible, which is why sweatshops are great, and provide opportunities for workers as well. Although jobs may be getting cut, they are positions that offer good pay (Kristof, N. & Wudunn, S., 2000), and that people in these less developed countries need in order to survive.
