Globalization In Malawi And The United States: Video Analysis

The video depicts the sociological issue called globalization. Globalization is defined as “a trans-planetary process or set of processes involving increasing liquidity, and the growing multidirectional flows of people, objects, places, and information as well as the structures they encounter and create that are barriers to, or expedite, those flows.” In this video, the history of globalization is explained and there is a comparison made. The comparison is made between a rich country and a poor one. The two countries are Malawi and the United States of America. The video then goes on to explain the positives and negatives of globalization and the effects that take place on the people living in those regions. In Malawi, 75% of the population

This is because quantitative is a macro method which means that it focuses on a larger area of people. The research would then be collected through surveys with closed-ended questions. Quantitative method would be the best method to use because of the fact that it focuses on larger groups of people. It would be impossible for someone to sit down with large number of people and interview every single one. This would take way too much time and resources. It would probably take someone years and years to actually sit down and talk with a big enough sample of people that would produce accurate results. In order to collect enough data, a sociologist conducting this type of study would have to do a large sit down with a lot of people from both countries. This cannot be done, therefore it is easier to look more at the numerical data and statistics to determine

This is because I feel as if it is not fair for some countries to be so much wealthier than others. I understand that countries like the United States have worked hard to get to where they are, but I think about the people who live in places like Malawi. They are so poor and I think that it’s not fair that they have children and adults starving and barely being able to afford food daily, while we have so much more and we often waste things because of it. If globalization helped the poorer countries more and if the wealth of the country’s people did not matter, there would not be a need for change. Unfortunately, wealth matters so therefore there is not as free as a flow of materials and information to poorer countries. I feel as if it is unfair to those poor countries because it is often not their fault that they cannot afford certain things. This issue could be changed by having the wealthy countries reach out to the poorer countries. They could exchange goods and information for different things such as allies. Although this might be a challenge considering the richer countries might feel as if they do not need anything from the poor countries, I think that it could be done. It would take some extreme negotiating, but if it did work out, the lines of communication would be opened between different countries of economic status. This would allow information and goods to flow freely among different
