<span>he nature versus nurture debate is about the relative influence of an individual's innate attributes as opposed to the experiences from the environment one is brought up in, in determining individual differences in physical and behavioral traits. The philosophy that humans acquire all or most of their behavioral traits from "nurture" is known as tabula rasa ("blank slate"). Nature refers to an individual's innate qualities, while nurture refers to personal experiences (i.e. empiricism or behaviorism).</span>
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...
(not 100% sure) but the first thing that comes to mind for me is the Egyptian religion.
