Debrief – How do you feel about Globalization?

Globalization is not necessarily good or bad.

It’s effects can be good or bad, or the way it’s done can have good or bad consequences.

The problem is: the benefits of globalization aren’t necessarily distributed equally.

Do you think there’s a bias in this chapter of the text?
