GLOBALIZATION: good or bad?

"[Globalization] can be incredibly empowering and incredibly coercive. It can democratize opportunity and democratize panic." - Thomas Friedman





I can compare globalization with fire... WHHYYY?

Fire itself is neither good nor bad. Used properly, it can cook food, sterilize equipment, form iron, and heat our homes. Used carelessly, fire can destroy lives, towns and forests in an instant.
The same happens with globalization. It can bring tremendous opportunities and benefits IF WE GIVE IT THE CORRECT USE.
