LECTURE

Third World Countries & Underdevelopment.
July 8 Tuesday Nadia

I have attended her lecture, which makes me think a lot about society. Globalization is dvertised like utopia, but it is true only for the rich. People, in the U.S., began to suicide by falling after the world war because they became bankruptcy. We call that the great depression.

However, this great depression of theory becomes in the world. Even though we have social
welfare programs, people are still not sharing what they have. As a result, lots of people lose heir jobs and not are able to find new jobs, so people have begun to suicide. Nadia talked about women's rights. House work used to be only female job, but women didn't get paid; moreover, men had a tendency to look down to women because men made money.

However, if women get to work; instead of, doing chores, they would earn money as well. Actually, nowadays they have made lots of money, but the problem is that it still happens to the people of the lower classes that men look down to women because they are not educated well because of money.

Education has become really expensive, so Nadia sent her son to public school, which is cheap. One day, Nadia got the call from school because her son had been absent for a month, but it is ok for her because every kid doesn't want to go to school. However, Nadia complained about telling late, but they told her they were busy to control other students, who had been for a longer time.

Therefore, Nadia decided to send her son to more expensive school. That means as cost is cheaper, the quality of service drops. That is not real well-fare system. 34% students are expelled from school, but they are not stupid, just they don't have enough money to get good quality of education and any adult, who can care of them.

It is not fair, so even though poor people are trying, they cannot be like us because of a wrong system. Global groups are threatening us as well because they have seized power. Canada, for example, is a victim. Canada has to play U.S. rule because U.S. has national groups, so if Canada does not play their rule, U.S would say to national groups and Canada would pay for their “fault”.

After then, we watched a video, which is about global brand. They have monopolized a market, so new brands cannot sell their products; furthermore, we have no choice for products and even no jobs. They have sold not only their products, but also people’s dreams and thought. They know what people want to be, so their advertisement is made with famous people, who people want to be; as a result, people could think that if they bought their products, they would be the people, who they like.

Their manufacture system is, also, strategic, so other new brands can’t earn money as much as global brands can. Their products are made by developing countries, which have cheap labors. If the developing countries which their factories are located in claimed more money, they would change places. Consequently, the people in America have lost their jobs; otherwise, the people in
the developing countries have gotten a job, but they get paid a little. That is why we should reconsider about globalization again.

She speaks loudly and clearly, so I could understand what she was saying easily; moreover,
learned how to think critically, globally, and locally. Otherwise, it was not good to see that some
students were sleeping. I sometimes sleep in the class, so I think over what I do in the class (I
would never sleep again…). Even though, her lecture was little bit long, I enjoyed a lot because
I recognized that I can attend a lecture and understand, so I got confidence. It was good time
and worth for me. :D
