Globalization, the interconnectedness of the world's economies, cultures, and populations, has undoubtedly driven economic growth and technological advancements. However, it has also led to a widening gap between the rich and the poor, increased exploitation of workers, and environmental degradation. Multinational corporations, in their pursuit of profit maximization, have prioritized short-term gains over the long-term well-being of people and the planet. The consequences have been severe, including job losses, downward pressure on wages, and the erosion of labor rights. The negative impacts of globalization have disproportionately affected marginalized communities, exacerbating inequalities and social injustices. It is imperative that we critically examine the current trajectory of globalization and work towards a more sustainable and equitable model that prioritizes people and the environment over profits.
