Global Trade

In Global Perseptives class we were discussing Global Trade, since it is an important topic nowadays. We were asked to discuss some interesting questions. Here are my answers about this topic.

1. I personally believed that it could be  an inevitable relationship of global trade, since developing countries can start increasing the prices of their goods, and in that way they could have a little more money and with that they can improve their living conditions. Nevertheless, it is really complicate as developed countries have a lot more power on global trade than they have in developing ones, such as Indian subcontinent. Moreover global trade should benefit both countries, the more economically developed and the less economically developed countries. Apart from that the poorest countries could start obtaining more benefits also, not only the developed and powerful countries. Sincerely, it is really complex to change the way global trade works, since the rich countries are the ones who controls everything and gain benefits and money from the less powerful countries. In consequence these countries suffered a lot more, they have less opportunities, less benefits, and more economical and social problems. In other words, if global trade change these way it works, both parts could benefits, the developed an the developing ones.

2. I consider that those aspects are really important for every human being, the health, the inequality between rich and poor. However they  did not place a great role in international relations, since countries look forward to make the greatest money they can, however they leave aside the problems they can causes, such as industries contamination, air pollution, deforestation, etc. Apart from that the rich ones can access possibilities that the poor ones, will never have. This is not fair, as they work in horrible conditions and have miserable wages I believe, that governments in all countries should start taking measures to improve those qualities and those inequalities. Apart from that, the more economically developed countries did not consider the damages they are causing in the less economically developed countries, not only for the people who lived there but also for the whole world and for future generations.

The developed and rich countries obtain the raw material in poor countries by very harmful techniques without awareness in all the harm they are causing, but only being conscious on the money they are making. This role is the less important in Global Trade however it should be the most importants of all ones from my point of view.

3. My personal opinion about this topic is that governments should start doing something to improve those qualities. Apart from that developing  countries can access to little things in comparison with the rich ones. Moreover, they are causing a lot of harm to the world and to human beings, with awareness of that, of people dying, of sicknesses, of deforestation, contamination and pollution. They only care on the money they are making. What is very important to highlight is that even though they are causing harm to other countries and to the world, they do not consider that they are ruining their own world  apart from future generations lifes.

4. I can find many points about this issue, since it is an important topic nowadays which impacts on every country.  There are two big opinion on this topic, on one side there are the ones who support the global trade and agree on the idea that it is helping poor countries, however on the other side, there are the ones who disagree on that idea, and consider that they are causing irreparables damages to the world.

The first idea is based on the information that when developing countries were “add” to the GLobal Trade they started having more benefits, and having less poverty problems. Nonetheless other suggested that they are causing an incredible harm to our world with conscious.

I considered that we should change those aspects in the global trade since the ones who suffered are the ones who have the less opportunities and the less benefits, I believe that if that change we could all benefit without damaging neither the world future generation nor people.

Finally, I considered that the way we look the world should also change since people are always looking forward to make money without considering all the damages. If this view change we could all have better consequences, and a better future.
