“ABOUT THE CONCEQUENCES OF GLOBALIZATION”
Well the consequences of the globalization are many so we think that talk a litte of the concequences weather this are good or bad is a necessary thing in these blog.
In these post I’ll explain what is foreign direct investment and why it’s a direct consequence of the globalization. For that I have use the text book information also my team and I create a short survey to see if at least in our homes or in the itam the people know the names of the major companies that are established in México and the interesting thing in here it’s that if the people will put the names of foreign or Mexican companies so then we will have an idea of how much globalized we are.
Well first of all what is FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT Or FDI? FDI occurs when a firm invests directly in facilities to produce or market a product in a foreign country these is a direct consequence of globalization because many of the major companies are outsourcing their productions and not only that many of them are global companies or at least multinational companies so FDI it’s a very necessary thing when the local markets are insufficient for countries who are too small to produce all they need FDI it’s also a necessary thing so FDI changes into a bidirectional need.

As the world starts to globalize, it is accompanied by criticism of the current forms of globalization, which are feared to be overly corporate-led. As corporations become larger and multinational, their influence and interests go further accordingly. Being able to influence and own most media companies, it is hard to be able to publicly debate the notions and ideals that corporations pursue. Some choices that corporations take to make profits can affect people all over the world. Sometimes fatally.

Did Globalization Fail Mexico?

Did Globalization Fail Mexico?
Over at the immigration website VDARE, Edwin Rubenstein has an interesting post about immigration and Mexican economic trends. One particular graph caught my eye:

The ratio of per-capita GDP between the U.S. and Mexico has risen slightly since 1995--despite NAFTA and despite the very large outflows of legal and illegal immigrants. Does this mean that even a huge dose of globalization cannot overcome the structural problems with the Mexican economy? Where did the economic models go wrong?
