The anti-globalist is meant to people who oppose the
globalization. It is a public term that is used for explaining political action

movement is critical of the globalization of corporate capitalism. The
movement is also commonly referred to as the global justice movement, alter-globalization movement,
anti-globalist movement, anti-corporate globalization movement, or movement against neoliberal
globalization the views of anti-globalists are:
Some views of the anti-globalist are like the Canadian
journalist Naomi Klein with her book No Logo who
criticized the production practices of multinational corporations and the
omnipresence of brand-driven marketing in popular culture, has become
"manifesto" of the movement, presenting in a simple way themes more
accurately developed in other works. In India some intellectual references of
the movement can be found in the works of Vandana Shiva, an
ecologist and feminist, who in her book Biopiracy documents
the way that the natural capital of indigenous peoples and ecoregions is
converted into forms of intellectual capital, which are then recognized as exclusive commercial
property without sharing the private utility thus derived. The writer Arundhati
Roy is
famous for her anti-nuclear position and her activism against India's massive
hydroelectric dam project, sponsored by the World Bank. In France
the well-known monthly paper Le Monde Diplomatique has
advocated the anti-globalization cause and an editorial of its director Ignacio
Ramonet brought about the foundation of the association ATTAC . Susan
George of the Transnational Institute has also been a long-term
influence on the movement, as the writer of books since 1986 on hunger, debt,
international financial institutions and capitalism. The works of Jean
Ziegler, Christopher Chase-Dunn, and Immanuel Wallerstein have
detailed underdevelopment and dependence in a world ruled by the capitalist
system. Pacifist and anti-imperialist traditions have strongly influenced the
movement. Critics of United States foreign policy such as Noam
Chomsky, Susan Sontag, and the others.
The interest of
countries who has realized during the process of globalization. Some actions
are done by countries are:
First, country prepares
the good human resourch. The first thing that government has to improve is the
good human resourch. When the country has good human resouch, so that
government is capable to face the globalization.
Second, country defends
good value or good culture. The influence of globalization is very big in the
country, but one of the thing that has to defend is good value or good culture.
The government has to pay attention for resolving the problem.
Although the world has
been walked by technology and machine, but it can not be denied that here are
many poor nations in the world who have citizens are difficulty to live their
selves. There are still many poor nations do not technology acces and they have
agriculture systems very traditional. In the other side, a rich and development
country such as, U.S.A, Jerman, China, and other rich countries. They do not
have big attention to develop the poor nations, but they use a chance to market
their products. So that, globalization
do influence the poor countries. It brings negative effect on the poor
countries in the world. The globalization makes the poor nations becomes poorer
because some factors.
First, the number of
proverty. The globalization influenced poor nation by the number of proverty. The number of proverty is happened
because field of work is limited. The government can not open new field of
work. So that, the number of proverty is to be high and government must open
new job.
Second, social conflict
is also cause of the poor nations. It happens because a part of people in the poor
nation. It is effected by globalization. the citizens of the poor nation feels
unfair in the society because effect of globalization. For example, Somalia in
East Africa. Somalia is one of the ten countries is included the poor nation.
In this country, it often happen the social conflict between government and
disturber there.
Beside that,
globalization influences the spheres of religion and culture. The spheres
of religion and culture has a role which is very important in our life. They
are effected by globalization because in this case religion will be affected by western religion and culture. It is
because religion and culture are free to expose in globalization. Socio
cultural effect, it can increasingly global capitalist cultural values in the
world community. The spread of western style dresses in developing countries,
proliferation of film production in the form of CDs or DVDs. Our society, especially
young people who forget a lot of
Indonesian identity as a nation of self Indonesia
as a nation, because of his lifestyle
tends to imitate western
culture is considered by the
world community as a Mecca.
Globalization can make influence country from the ecology. Ecology
is a human science as well. There are many practical applications of ecology in
conservation biology, wetland management, natural resource management (agroecology,
agriculture,
forestry,
agroforestry,
fisheries),
city planning (urban ecology), community
health, economics, basic
and applied science, and human social interaction (human ecology).
Ecosystems maintain biophysical feedback mechanisms that modulate metabolic rates
and evolutionary dynamics between living (biotic)
and nonliving (abiotic)
components of the planet. Ecosystems sustain life-supporting functions and
produce natural capital through the regulation of continental climates, global biogeochemical cycles, water
filtration, soils, food, fibres, medicines, erosion control, and many
other natural features of scientific, historical, economic, or intrinsic value. Beside
that, the other effect of ecology can be seen from influence of ecology, such
as climate, flood, and the other effect.
As conclusion, the anti-globalists oppose or refuse the
globalization because the globalization has many bad influence in the country,
espicially to the poor nations. Globalization can make a country bad effect to economic, culture,
religion, ecology and many others.
