Abraham Lincoln's Gettysbury Address is perhaps the most iconic and famous speeches in the history of the United States.
It the address took place just 4 and a half months after the end of the Civil War, at the time when the United States was struggling to find a national way forward.

The aim of the Address was to provide hope to the American people and give them a vision of a brighter future. It was addressed both at the Southerners and the people in the North.

A whole generation had seen war, death and misery and the future for many, was not so great.

The overall message of the address was to tell every American, that their right to life, liberty and freedom will be respected and that their country will keep on prospering.

The address wanted people to look at the end of the Civil War as an opportunity for a New America.

Decide whether each item is a benefit or cost of economic globalization.

andriy [413]

Answer:

Benefits:

Access to a larger market
Increase in production of goods

Costs:

Loss of jobs in developed countries
Depletion of natural resources.

Explanation:

On the one hand, a global market means that a company or firm can potentially reach a larger market to sell its products and services. And in turn, make more profit. On the other hand, it also means that the competition is global and that a firm has to compete in this larger market with hundreds of firms. This often means that to be competitive, companies have to lower their costs. One easy way of doing that is by outsourcing or moving parts of their production process to countries with lower salaries. This leads to the loss of jobs in the home countries.

The increased competition and the larger market also mean that more goods are produced at a better price for the customer. However, this production can easily get out of hand and deplete natural resources.
