  Canada, are a positive example of Globalization.

  their website

We have a progressive, non-partisan social
mission that seeks to meet human needs and
eliminate injustices in our local, national and
international communities by integrating these
concerns into our day-to-day business activities.
Our focus is on children and families, the
environment and sustainable agriculture on family
farms.

Other Examples of globalisation

• Nestle
• Coca-Cola
• McDonalds
• Pepsi
• Heinz

Most of the food and drink we have is from these
big global companies. This makes it very
difficult for small companies to produce food as
they cannot compete against the larger companies
as they put a lot of money into marketing. This
is especially true in Africa and South America.

Fair Trade

• The fair trade mark is an independent consumer
  label which appears on products to guarantee that
  disadvantaged producers in the developing world
  are getting a better deal.
• Fair Trade is a global fight back against the
  large global companies which pay small prices to
  farmers

  thev1960s,

  to set up their own textiles production.
• Other developing countries entered the market
  with investments from multinational enterprises.

footwear

• Brazil and Mexico have become the key players in
  footwear, but much less in clothing.
• Almost all of the higher-cost countries have seen
  their footwear production fall like Ireland.
• In the United states, the industry has declined
  since the late 1970s.
• Production has declined a bit more slowly since
  1985 in Italy, 1988 in Spain and 1991 in
  Portugal.
• In 1992, 63.2 of the worlds total pairs of
  shoes were made in Asia and the Middle East even

Examples of globalisation of sport

• The World Cup.
• The Olympics.
• The Special Olympics.
• The Six Nations-Rugby.
• Wimbledon- Tennis.
• Etc.

The World Cup.
20
Advantages of globalisation of sport

• One example of how sport is involved in
  globalisation is The World Cup. The world is
  united through soccer and it brings all the
  countries together. This can be a good thing for
  local people who sell their products at the
  venues for the soccer matches.
• Also hotels, restaurants shops in the city that
  hosts The World Cup can make a lot of money
  during the tournament

21
Disadvantages of globalisation of sport

• There are many disadvantages of the globalistaion
  of sport. Big businesses can sell their products
  at very high prices at the matches. This forces
  the local traders out of business because the
  bigger companies have better advertising. Also,
  The World Cup releases some big stars who promote
  certain products for big companies which puts
  pressure on people to buy the product as a
  national hero is selling it and it is very
  popular.

Globalization of Pharmaceuticals
24
Advantages

• Increase free trade between nations
• Pharmaceutical companies have greater flexibility
  to operate across borders
• Greater ease and speed of transportation for
  medical supplies
• The products are recognized world wide which
  makes it easier for consumers to gain access to
  the goods

25
Disadvantages

• There are a few huge global companies that
  completely dominate the world market for drugs.
  It is very difficult for small firms to set up in
  this business
• Because there are a small number of large
  companies there is very little competition so
  prices for basic drugs are very high
• In Africa the governments are forced to pay very
  high prices for AIDS treatments and other
  diseases. It means that these governments are
  spending less on other important things like AIDS
  awareness and education
