Okay so on the flip side of fear and trade of globalization we can also determine the benefits of globalization.  There is always a flip side to everthing…right???? Many companies move their businesses to countries where labor is cheap but can produce what is needed.   So you could say in turn for these countries it essentially helps the with economic welfare, opportunity and COMPETITION.  Trade as a percentage of gross world product has risen from 15 percent in 1986 to nearly 27 in 2006.  Also in the past two decades, the stock of foreign direct investment assets has nearly quadrupled as a percentage of gross world product. 

Some say there are many advantages that pretty much make the world go round.  Such as goods and people are transported with more easiness and speed, the possibility of war between the developed countries decreases, free trade between countries increases, and global mass media connects all the people in the world just to name a few.  So global mass media is HUGE, I mean big now a days.  I mean you put a website and you are literally worldwide.  Anyone, anywhere can purchase your product.

So another benefit is the improvment of the living condition of these people.  There has been advancements in medicine, new public health policies, and increase in food supplies.  Over the past 20 years, 200 million people have left absolute poverty — defined as living on the equivalent of less than $1 a day.  Child labor has declined and woman are stepping up in their world.  All in all if we are living good why shouldn’t they, right?  We’re all just trying to win somehow, some way.  They get work to survive and we get the reasonable prices, which during the so called stopped recession, it helps.  Win/Win!
