Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts three articles - "Sustainable Globalization" by Simone Borghese and Alessandro Vercelli, "Globalization and the Environment" by Nicholas A. Ashford, and David Suzuki's "Economics and Politics". The writer argues that each one raises intelligent points but that each one is also given to emotional or infelicitous language as well as to conclusions that are not infallible.

From the Paper
"The main idea, fundamentally, of all of them is that globalization has exacerbated global inequalities and that international and domestic efforts must be undertaken to rectify the situation."

Abstract
This is paper presents a comparison of Mary Beth Montcalm's article entitled "Free Trade and Continental Integration" and Parvin Ghorayshi's chapter called "The Discourse of Globalization and the Alleged Inevitability of our Global Future". Both of these pieces deal with the consequences of globalization, with specific reference to Canada, although Montcalm never actually uses the word gobalization.

Abstract
This paper compares two articles that deal with the issue of globalization. The paper looks at how "Ecocide and Globalization" by Franz J. Broswimmer frames globalization within the context of capitalist production and consumption, and argues that globalization has the potential to destroy our human habitat. The paper shows how Broswimmer is concerned with the "big picture" when it comes to globalization. On the other hand, the paper discusses how "Globalization and Culture" by John Tomlinson focuses on a much narrower topic, namely the relationships between globalization and culture.

From the Paper
"Meanwhile, in the Jivaro Indians' culture, far from being murdered and disrespected, the woman is greatly prized and protected, partly because of the plants she helps grow. To give an idea of how important some plants are to the lives and beliefs of the Jivaro people, the author of the book, The Jivaro: People of the Sacred Waterfalls, Michael J. Harner, an anthropologist and an ethnographer, explains on page 70 that the "Nunui" (a spirit, or fairy), provides supernatural help for the woman of the family, which it vital to the success of important plants."
"The Nunui's help in the garden is important for the natives, not just in the process of growing food items like sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, squash, red peppers, onions, pineapple, banana, and other edibles. The Nunui also helps in the growing of medicinal plants and hallucinogenic plants (drugs) such as Banisteriopsis species, and Datura Arborea."

Abstract
The paper looks at how Jan Aart Scholte's article "What is Happening?" and John Tomlinson's article "Globalization and Culture" both address the issue of globalization. However, they frame the issue in very different ways. The paper shows how Scholte's article is very broad in focus, attempting to give an overview of all issues related to globalization, while Tomlinson's focuses narrowly on the connections between globalization and culture.

Abstract
The paper compares two articles on globalization and the effects it has on the world economy.

From the Paper
"One of the most frequently cited advantages of a globalizing economic order is that it allows business to expand from developed to emerging economies and in turn to move goods and services from developing or emerging economies to other parts of the world. A bigger world. However, this process is not necessarily as straightforward as one might think. The two articles reviewed and compared in this essay illustrate this point and highlight the significance of globalization to emerging economies that stand to benefit..."

Abstract
Three articles on the topic of globalization are compared and contrasted in the paper. The articles are: "Globalization" by John Isbister, "A Globalized Culture: The End of Vision?" by Mary C. Grey and "Ecocide and Globalization" by Franz J. Broswimmer. Though each article agrees in their criticism of globalization and portrays it as a dangerous phenomena, their arguments are very different. The paper begins by looking at the context of each article.

From the Paper
"The three articles to be compared and contrasted here are "Globalization" by John Isbister; "A Globalized Culture: The End of Vision?" by Mary C. Grey; and "Ecocide and Globalization" by Franz J. Broswimmer. All three of these articles deal with the subject of globalization, but in different ways. They have in common that they are all critical of globalization, and portray it as a very great danger to humans at this time. However, apart from this commonality, they are very different. It is useful to first consider the context of the three articles. Broswimmer's article is from a book entitled Ecocide: A Short History of the Mass Extinction of Species."

Abstract
This paper describes and defines the contemporary social change of globalization, particularly as it relates to the United States. Next, the paper discusses the historical background of U.S.'s industrial revolution. The paper them compares and contrasts these two social phenomena, including their impact on human and civil rights, the economy and the U.S.'s international position.

From the Paper
"Globalization is a term that came into popular usage in the mid 1980's. It was used to describe the increased movement of people, knowledge and ideas, and goods and money across national borders that has led to increased interconnectedness among the world's populations, economically, politically, socially and culturally. Globalization is characterized commonly in economic terms such as the colloquially phrased "global marketplace." This process has many social and political implications as well. Social scientists often associate cultural modernization with globalization, that is, crossing borders and mixing one culture with another to create a new cultural phenomenon. At the global level, the paradigm of globalization is characterized through the quagmires it poses to the role of governments in international affairs and the global economy."

Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts two articles on globalization. The paper looks at their contexts, writing styles, intents and layout. The paper explains that Broswimmer's article "Ecocide and Globalization" is concerned with the "big picture" when it comes to globalization and in stark, accessible language, he sounds a wake-up call. The paper contrasts this to Tomlinson's article "Globalization and Culture" that addresses only one aspect of globalization, with the text not being accessible to all.

From the Paper
"The first thing to note when comparing these two articles is the context. Tomlinson's article is the first chapter of a book called Globalization and Culture. Thus, we know that the context is to introduce and frame an examination of this narrow aspect of globalization. Tomlinson acknowledges that his account is not multidimensional, but at the same time asserts that an account of merely the cultural "slice" of globalization does not have to be one dimensional - and indeed, he does a very good job of relating this one dimension to the wider reality of globalization."
