A Critique of the Juliette Beck Speech -- Argumentative Persuasive Pol

A Critique of the Juliette Beck Speech Juliette Becks name and address, Reclaiming honourable and Sustainable Communities in the Age of Corporate Globalization nevery adequately described the difficultys of globalisation as it is currently structured, nor did it provide any answers to the problems with it, either the real problems that actually make it (labor and environmental exploitation) or the problems that Beck purported (large corporations). Primarily, Becks speech was flawed in that it was incoherent and empirical incorrect. For instance 1) it purported the idea that globalization was non inevitable, 2) it called upon the myth of small is beautiful, confusing the real problem with globalization (Capitalist structure) with a false problem (the scale of the Corporate in a globalized world), and 3) it was often merely incorrect in some(prenominal) of the ideas and statistics that it stated. Also, the speech was not true to its title (well, maybe it was in that both were essentially ridden with non-sense), in that it did not give real economic or semi policy-making alternating(a)s to Corporate Globalization.First, globalization already exists. The worlds economic structure is already on a global scale. Although change is possible, the idea that we can regress keister into history, destroying a globalized world and making Localism over all is not only a bad idea, but a useless, silly one. Capitalism, by its nature, is acquisitive, as is also imperialism. As long as either exist (usually joint hand and hand, at least in this point of pre-history), they give seek out, with the worlds wonderful technology and knowledge, the few unmolested areas left in the world. These forces, by the sheer scale that they exist on, are impossible to abate at local levels, a... ...cally flawed, and did not even give many localist alternatives to incarnate globalization, in addition to not giving any real alternative to it. However, in spite of this, some people o n campus were so inadequately aware about the reality of how globalization is being carried out that it did do some level of good. Under a constant barrage of statistics and moralistic proclamations aimed at revealing the debased practices of institutions such as the IMF and World Bank, some students did leave with a better perspective on how corporate globalization (i.e. Capitalism, if they come to identify it as such on there own) is direct and with more interest with, at the least, becoming much better informed on the issue and, at the best, even becoming involved with political and civil organizations aimed at humanizing and democratizing the process known as globalization.
