Effect of globalization
To examine globalization, the focus is on the multinational corporation Walmart. After watching the videos and reading the resources, leverage scholarly resources and statistics in a 750- to 1000-word essay to do the following:
- Analyze the effect of globalization on job quality and unemployment patterns.
- Contrast different viewpoints on globalization (i.e. neoliberal, world systems) and their arguments for and against the role of NGOs.

Answer preview
Critics have argued that the main driver towards globalization is due to the effects of global neoliberalism. Global neoliberalism itself is a theory that advocates for the maximization of individual economic freedom. Thus, eliminating government-imposed restrictions on the movement of goods, capital, and people across international borders (Navarro 2020). In understanding contemporary globalization, mastering world-systems is vital. World system analysis involves comprehension of social changes as based on geohistorical systems. The relationship between globalization and world-system analysis is broad. Though there are similarities between the two, there still exist rejections in both, which are also crucial. Globalization advocates, on the one hand, treat world-system analysts as the pioneers behind the global study. But reject the framework put by the systems while world-system analysts, on the other hand, view globalization advocates as ‘Johnny-come-lately,’ thus rejecting their market faith.
