Globalization is good, right? Not necessarily. Displaced workers, easy spread of disease, for example, are two negative consequences of globalization.
In class, we discuss the impact of globalization on women, specifically, that there's some evidence that women in more globalized countries tend to do better, in terms of access to health care and education, legal rights, etc.
However, I don't think it's a simple relationship. More globalized countries are also richer countries, an.d maybe it's just that women do better in countries where there are more resources available.
