Dallmayr's Thoughts on Globalism [Yoo, Week 9, Substantive]

According to Dallmayr, "globalization in its present form fosters or enhances social inequality." I can definitely see how this can be true; as a member of American society, I have more access to education and more access to learning about the world in general. Even more so, as a university student studying International Relations, I am forced into a situation where being ignorant of the world is unacceptable. I don't think it is far fetched to argue that as a Lehigh student, we are in a position to enhance our lives through globalization. For example, things made in China are cheaper. As consumers, we can take advantage of it. I feel Dallmayr focuses too much on America being a entity harming other countries through globalization. We cannot label 'America' as a single entity that enhances inequality; due to globalization, there are Americans who have lost their jobs.
