  • What questions would an anthropologist ask as
    he/she travelled in the taxi?

7
Debrief Is Globalization good or bad?
  • Globalization is not necessarily good or bad.
  • Its effects can be good or bad, or the way its
    done can have good or bad consequences.
  • The problem is the benefits of globalization
    arent necessarily distributed equally.
  • Do you think theres a bias in this chapter of
    the text?

Sociology and globalizationInequality and
Globalization
9
Transition to Sociological perspective
  • Everything weve done so far has been either an
    introduction to globalization or an
    anthropological view of globalization.
  • Now were going to look at a sociological
    perspective.
  • This perspective examines the social inequalities
    that result from Globalization.
  • Sociologists study institutions, and economics is
    an institution.
  • We will examine economics to understand social
    inequalities.
  • Some terms that will help us to understand these
    social inequalities include World Income
    Inequality and Income distribution.

Canadas richest 86 people have as much wealth
as the poorest 11.4 million
  • In 1999, the 86 wealthiest Canadians had a net
    worth of nearly 120 billion equivalent to the
    bottom 10.1 million Canadians but that
    increased to nearly 180 million in 2012.
  • -Is that an equal income distribution?

Globalizations effect on Social inequalities
  • Lets look at the Globalization Basics sheet on
    p. 41 of your Course Handouts.
  • Then, well look at p. 42 of your Course
    Handouts.

Important points
  • Transnationals prefer to set up their
    assembly-line operations in low-wage, low tax
    countries because it keeps their production costs
    down.
  • Think of conditions for a labourer in Ontario vs.
    conditions for a labourer in Alang,India.
  • In developed societies, the labourer has rights
    that make production more expensive (like wages,
    benefits, labour conditions, number of work hrs,
    quality of the air, etc. ).
  • Developing countries have lower wages and work
    standards so the production of things becomes
    cheaper in poorer countries.

14
The Result can be unfair economic distribution
  • The developed countries can exploit the
    developing countries.
  • The profits of creating this much cheaper
    manufacture arent primarily going into the
    pockets of the labourers, they are going to the
    multinational corporations and developers.
