Globalisation is affecting all over the World. The West, which is also known as the first country, is losing jobs to the third world. This is because major companies are exploiting people, in places like Africa, for cheap labor. Crops such as Cocoa also grows really well in these countries and the large corporations know they can get away with paying next to nothing to the farmers that keep their companies afloat. The third world people are also being forced to work in sweat shops so that people in wealthier countries can buy cheap clothes that wear easily and are thrown away just as easily as they are bought, this way people go and buy more clothes from the same shop and this is how places like Primark etc make their money. The workers are losing out because they have no other option then to work for places like this or risk living with no food or shelter because there is nothing else out there for them. There can be positive effects of Globalisation happening linking with third world companies. It makes goods cheaper, but this makes labor cheaper and means worked aren’t being paid a high enough wage to live properly.
