The Populist Party wanted to push several issues at the time in the 1890s in the United States.
1. Free Silver--one of their biggest platforms was to change the currency to free silver to make it more affordable for the average person to use, instead of having money backed up by the gold standard.
2. Eight hour workday--They wanted to have workers and laborers be given an eight hour workday to give workers better working conditions than what they currently faced.
3. Income tax--They wanted to have a federal income tax (which later becomes the 16th Amendment) to have different taxes for people based on their income, or how much money they would make. So essentially, a very wealthy person would have higher taxes than a poor person.
4. Regulation of the railroad--They wanted the government to regulate the railroad instead of the big businesses regulating the railroad and coming up with the prices. The farmers especially felt as though it was not fair to allow the business owners to set the prices.
The Populist Party was essentially called the People's Party because they wanted to better represent and recognize the common people in government.

The harm globalization is causing outweighs the benefits to individuals and the world economy.
Globalization is the process by which the world slowly has becoming more and more connected through trade, exchange of people and ideas. This process is made possible by quick trasportation, the internet and free trade laws between states. The immediate effect is quite positive, as trade propels growth and wealth often follows grown. However, we should also be aware of the weight of our actions on the environment. Globalization in se it's not nor bad or good, it's more how we carry on the process that matters. As for now, the harm the globalization is causing is the environment outweight any possible benefit, simply because we have avuse our environment so much it simply cannot take more. We are well over the promise to keep the temperature below 2°, and this is not a sustainable pathway.
