Durkheim was interested in suicide primarily because he wanted to b) show that what was thought to be a personal act was patterned by social forces.
A lot of social factors may be the cause of a person’s decision to perform suicide. For example, a person that is a victim of bullying may decide to end his/her life because of sheer depression.
Globalization in essence is companies and governments climbing onto the world stage and interacting internationally.
Globalization has helped some, but it has also hurt a lot, specifically through:
- Making the rich richer
- Removing trade barriers only for new ones to rise (VAT taxes, etc.)
- Increased trade deficits with many jobs leaving their developed nations for less developed ones (U.S. manufacturing to China, etc.)
- Developed country job pay cuts
- MNC's leaving countries and exploiting international tax havens
- MNC's overseeing bad work conditions in countries with less regulations
- MNC's influencing international politics
- Exploitation of labor
- Social welfare schemes
Et cetera, et cetera...
All the problems we hear about with companies leaving their countries and stranding thousands if not millions of people without jobs, and labor issues in other countries all stem from globalization. So we need to decide if the benefits outweigh the costs here or not...
<span>Humans are the most developed kinds in the animal world. They can foster wealth from other animals or improve reproduction to suit their necessities. Factory farming such poultry is morally legitimate. This is the reason factory farming produce food for the human population is viable and legitimate. Humans are also responsible for wildlife conservation and preserving dying species such as the African Elephants and Rhinos that are watchfully coming to the disappearance. This is to say that humans as much as they cultivate food from animals, also save the animal life.</span>
