Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety Instead, critics of globalization believe aspects

of the way globalization operates should be changed The debate over globalization is about what the best rules are forgoverning the global economy so that its advantages can grow while its problems can be solvedl

On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade and investment,

allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom of choice With free-market

globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the developing countries Consumers canbenefit from cheaper products because reduced taes make goods produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy

Producers of goods gain by selling to a wider market More competition keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new

technology to spread and benefit others

On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty, inequality, socialconflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage They say that the most developed nations - the United States,Germany, and Japan - succeeded not because of free frade but because of protectionism and subsidies They argue that the morerecently successful economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and China all had strong state-led development strategies that did notfollow neo-liberalism These critics think that government encouragement of “infant industries” - that is, industries that are justbeginning to develop - enables a country to become internationally competitive

Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money from speculativeinvestors must be limited to prevent bubbles These bubbles are characterized by the rapid inflow of foreign funds that bid updomestic stock markets and property values When the economy cannot sustain such epectation, the bubbles burst as investorspanic and pull their money out of the country

Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization itself but rather againstabuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment The question raised by nongovernmental organizations andprotesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization will result in a rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as

MOBILE PHONES: HANG UP OR KEEP TALKING?

More than two billion people use mobile phones today In many places, it is more common to use a mobile phone, or cellphone, than a landline Mobile phones are especially popular with young people They find that the phones are more than a

means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are 'cool' and connected.

The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried Some doctors areconcerned that in the future, people may su er health problems from using mobile phones Even now, there are people whoﬀclaim that their mobile phones are making them sick In one case, a young salesman had to stop working because of seriousmemory loss He couldn't remember even simple things He would ofen forget the name of his own child The man used to talk

on his mobile phone for six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years His family doctor blamed hismobile phone use, but his employer's doctor disagreed Of course mobile phone companies are worried about the negativepublicity of such stories They say that there is no proofs that mobile phones are bad for your health

While there still isn't any proof that mobile phones are bad for your health, neither is there any proof that mobile phonesaren't bad for your health Research has shown that using mobile phones a ects brain activity, but it isn't clear why or whatﬀ

e ect it might have over the long term.ﬀ

What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation Radiation happens when one object sends

heat or energy to another object Heat radiation from the sun, for example, is heat sent from the sun to the earth High-techmachines can detect very small amounts of radiation fom mobile phones The amount of radiation from mobile phones fallsbetween the lower amount that radio waves produce and the higher amount that microwaves make It's a fact that someradiation comes from mobile phones While mobile phone companies agree with this fact, they say the amount is too small toworry about Some scientists, however, disagree They say we still don't know if small amounts of radiation over a long period

of time can cause health problems

As the debate about the safety of mobile phones continues, you might want to take some advice from scientists Use yourmobile phone only when you really need to Keep your telephone calls short Turn your phone o when you aren't using it.ﬀWhen you do use it for long calls, try using earbuds instead of holding the phone to your ear In the future, mobile phones mayhave a warning label that says they are bad for your health So for now, be careful
