Globalization Debate In His International Business Class, Professor Jang Organizes a Debate

Globalization Debate
In his international business class, Professor Jang organizes a debate on the societal effects of market globalization. Juan Prince takes a position that highlights the negative effects of market globalization. He emphasizes how multinational enterprises can wield so much influence that they threaten national sovereignty. He also notes the prevalence of low wages and sweatshop conditions as firms utilize low-cost labor abroad. Juan then describes the detrimental effects of corporate pollution on the environment, and he ends his argument by explaining how market globalization helps shift cultures to a universal norm. Rina Taylor is assigned to counter Juan's position.

A) Land preservation is more important than pollution reduction for preserving the environment.
B) China's landscape was permanently altered by the construction of the Three Gorges Dam.
C) Environmental destruction tends to diminish in the long run, as economies develop.
D) Attempts at foreign cultural imperialism are often blocked by national governments.
