Free trade and globalization

Pretty much what you need to do is read the article below, and it tells you alll about free trade and globalization. The gist of the article is that without a doubt the world is globalizing and we cant help it, but that means that free trade and other things are under scrutiny now.
It shows both sides of free trade and how it could help or go terribly wrong, this site has links to other pages for more opinions as well.
I wanted to include this because for this being my last real post, i want you guys to be able to see both sides if nothing else of free trade.

Fair trade not free trade

Ive heard alot about fair trade not free trade.
Free trade- countries trade freely, no taxes
Fair trade- countries trade with the same costs, and labor laws etc.


at first i probably would have said go FAIR TRADE! but im still for free trade because it supports what america is supposed to be about, a free market.


heres a picture supporting fair trade.

hmmm

Since i started this blog, i have learned alot about its affects whether they be good or bad. For  a while i actually changed my stance on it and thought it might be extremely bad. After thinking about it more though, im back on the PRO side and heres why, free trade promotes business for rich people and it allows the middle class/ poor to be able to have thoughts of starting a business. with the way things are now it is almost impossible for anyone not rich to begin a business and have it be successful.

Free trade without regluations

i was talking to a friend the other day about my blog and trying to get ideas from him, he told me that free trade would be a good idea with or without regulation. Me being my normal self totally objected and said NO! we need regulated trade and he simply said no and explained why. He says that even America has  had little 7 year olds working in sweat shops and doing hard labor while being underpaid, if we want free trade how are we to judge other countries and make them change like we did. Just cause America has changed doesn't mean the rest of the world has to. Plus the more regulated we make trade the harder it is to get other countries to join in.
