Globalization has many negative effects in our world. The first problem with globalization is that international trade is exacerbating income inequalities between industrialized and nonindustrialized nations. Secondly, Global commerce is dominating the corps that want to maximize profits without a regard for the development of the country. Lastly, the countries involved with globalization lower their environmental standards in order to attract foreign business investments. In order to reform globalization, the government should change the ‘rules’ because they are unequal. The rules to globalization only benefit few countries rather than many. Secondly, change the amount of losers in globalization process. For example the income in the U.S increased 11% between 1999 and 2004, but the middle class purchase ability decreased 3%.

Marling’s writing expressed that “globalization is not American as we think it is.” Marling claimed that people around the world “draw conclusion because they recognized American films, language and logos.” I understand that through globalization nations are share ideas, taking ideas and using media to advance, but we have to remember that the United States is one of the leading country in the world. I still believed that the United States influence bigger and smaller nations through media and globalization. I also believed that the United States can be influence by other foreign nations through globalization and media.

Second Response Paper Interest group politics is the attempt by any organized group in society to influence government policy through normal extra-electoral channels like lobbying or advertising. Interest group politics is intertwined with electoral politics; the main difference is that interest groups do not seek to win political office. Interest groups are held together by the shared interests and goals of their members. Whereas there are any numbers of potential interest groups, narrow economic interests are better represented in the system than broader political or moral concerns. (Cengage)

For example, a shoe company increases the price of their shoes, the people can boycott and not purchase the shoes until the price goes down.

Globalization is a key theme that has been discussed in almost all of the above articles. Aguilar and Herod’s (2006) article argues that cleaners in the contemporary economy continue to suffer low wages and poor working conditions because of neo-liberalization. Neo-liberalization has resulted in many companies embracing the outsourcing of employees to save up on wages and social security benefits.

Unfortunately, these economic benefits are offset by the fact that the U.S. is now operating under a massive trade deficit - a new and troubling impact of 21st century globalization.

The socio-political dimension of globalization has tended to influence politics at regional level, e.g. the East African countries aspire to gain regional integration based on the pillars of Social, Economic, Cultural and ultimately attain a Political Federation among the five member states. Cultural aspect: According to Lee, E. and Vivarelli, M. (2006), culture continues to give communities a sense of dignity, continuity, security and binds society together in spite of the changes.
