Women Find Power in Globalization
I’m going to have to disagree with the online globalization compilations stand on how globalization affects women. It says that it “exacerbate[s] gender equality” and hurts women economically, politically, and culturally. Globalization has been increasing readily over the years according to Chomsky. According to the abovementioned idea, less women would be getting jobs. As I have grown up, I have heard many stories of increasing amounts of women gaining successful careers in the states. Politically, women have also seen success. Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton, along with a bunch of other women, have held powerful roles in government amidst our times of globalization. The only point I do somewhat agree with is that globalization has caused a cultural change in women. In the past, in many cultures, women were seen as the stay-at-home mom who doesn’t work and often not even given the right to learn to read or write. This is the 2st century. That idea is/should be long gone. Women have worked hard for what they gained and deserve the same careers and respect as any man.
