I think point number 4 refers more to political globalization. Since it is like the exchange of ideas or norms that other countries agree and follow.
ResponderEliminarI agree with all your answers! About point no. 6 do you think that when those big multinational companies open in a new place, it affects the local businesses?
ResponderEliminarOf course, it affects the local economy, since markets usually disperse and reorganize as companies enter. It is a great disadvantage because local consumption is reduced
EliminarI agree with your answers, in fact I think the situations did not lend themselves to other options.
ResponderEliminarDo you think multinational companies are good or bad?
They certainly bring many benefits, generate earnings, jobs and cover the markets, but the opportunity cost in certain countries is very high, since it takes away the job opportunity of people who sell local products, and therefore the money that circulates belongs to to multinational companies, which does not remain 100% within the country
