NAME:
Globalization is intended to be homogenizing, as an obligatory presence in all continents and places. And the promise of building a world would only be included in this movement. However, such a claim so far only renews disparities and creates new inequalities, which is due to the violence of its founding processes, all practically indifferent to local realities. The brutal application of general principles to such diverse situations creates disorder. For this reason, globalization benefits only a limited portion of the population, while causing inconvenience and harm to most businesses and people.
