The article is about the Globalization's positive effects on the economy & environment, and it provides several reasons for support. However, the professor states that this mutual connection among countries has actually negative impacts on the economics of a nation and its environmental conditions, and he provides several reasons to prove his points. Firstly, the reading claims that Globalization has connected with the world, and provided the commercial relationship easier than ever. The professor refutes this point by saying that inter-dependence had made countries more vulnerable of economic effects of one country to another. He says that the recession occurred in America in 2008 had spread its consequences to a number of countries in Europe. So this way, the globalization may disturb a country's economic situation if any other is affected. Secondly, the article claims that this interconnectedness brings business or jobs in a developing country. However, the professor posits that this interdependence among countries actually shifts the business from one location to another. He cites examples of the shifting of manufacturing companies to Mexico from the USA because of cheap labors. Thirdly, the reading states that Globalization cultivates environmental pollution. On the other hand, the professor claims that this process actually brings more pollution to a country. According to him, when a country produces any items at a lower cost, then they compromise with environmental pollution norms, and this led to more air pollution in developing countries. This way, the professor contradicts the various points made in the reading and provides relevant examples to support his point.
