The negatives!

Today my class conducted a debate about the positive and negative effects of globalization. I was on the side that defended the fact that the negative effects of globalization had a greater overall affect on the world then the positive effects of globalization. My group did an adequate job defending our side; I feel that the presenters for my group did a good job presenting the materials that we compiled. The overall feeling was that not all the presenters were not totally confident in the material. The presentation could have been longer but I feel that we used the time efficiently, my group was right at like 10 minutes and it would have been really hard to make it all the way to 15 minutes. For everything that the other group stated I think we countered the statement well. For example the other group mentioned how globalization created jobs, now that statement is true but it often creates low paying jobs in bad working conditions which turn out to be a negative effect of globalization. For every positive there are 1 or more negatives!
