Is globalisation a force for good?

Globalisation has made the world a smaller place, with increased trade, communications and workforce mobility.
It has touched every country, and its supporters say it increases wealth, consumer choice, and promotes democracy.

But critics say globalisation gives too much power to multinational business, weakening states and making underdeveloped countries poorer.

How has globalisation affected you where you live? Is it capitalism at its most dangerous or an opportunity for poor countries to become richer? What is its effect on the economy, culture , human rights and the environment?
