Is Globalization good?
Is globalization good or bad? To answer this question I should explain or define the term globalization first. There exist so many different definitions of the world and everybody defines globalization in another way.

We do not know how the world would be today without globalization. Definitely the rich countries would not be that wealthy nowadays and also the poor countries really benefit from globalization. In my opinion the world how it is today would not exist without globalization. Nowadays globalization is much disputed and there exist an anti-globalization movement in the world. Needless to say, globalization also has dangers and an ugly side, but it brings tremendous opportunities and benefits.
However you have to take a closer look to globalization to see the impact of globalization and the consequences of ignoring the free market economy.

On the other hand if you close the doors to globalization as Kenya does, the country cannot get out of the poverty and even get
