“Globalization is not a monolithic force but an evolving set of consequences: some good, some bad and some unintended. It's the new reality." (John B. Larson). Globalization was the inevitable and decisive influence that ended the 20th century and ushered in a new era of interaction between people, economies and nations. It is the ongoing process of global integration that embodies culture, technology, politics, commerce, economic and social relations, and information. While it may be difficult not to imagine globalization as an unstoppable plague, open-mindedness is the key to understanding globalization. There's more to it than just a singular effect. It has been and will be the cause of every decision, thought and action of human beings on Earth. Globalization is nothing more than a destiny shaped by our own actions. Globalization has many aspects, be it health, business, social interaction, human rights, development, education, technology, trade, etc. One aspect that cannot be questioned as a globally shared concern is the environment. Not only does globalization affect the environment, but inadvertently the environment also affects globalization. “Globalization requires the adoption of a broad contextual and long-term vision” (Helen Fisher). Just as globalization requires examining the long-term effects of every decision, thought and action, the same can and should be applied to the environment. The environment is not something that can be changed in an instant; it is something that has been altered through years of consequences and repercussions. Whether people have come to their senses or not, globalization and the environment go hand in hand. This correlation, of course, is not a clear argument as to whether… half the paper… is for us and thus causing our extinction. The only thing we can do is slow this end down. So the question is: will globalization help or hurt the conquest to slow our demise? I'll say hurt. We will have better voter turnout if the conquest and destruction of the earth stops, instead of simply fighting fire with fire. Metaphorically, it can be compared to fighting wolves in an infinite continuum of damage, or to taming the wolf and reducing the likelihood of it attacking you. Globalization has the potential to be a great thing, but starting with the industrial revolution and continuing to this day, it is a power abused in the wrong hands. We made the wrong choices that determined where we are now and our future. Globalization in general, and environmental globalization in particular, is a wild wolf that does more harm than good.
