One More Argument Supporting Globalization

Is globalization estranging us from our human nature? Some believe it is and one point maybe that if we leave those villages alone, they can live out their human endeavor without the niceties of modern civilization. Does this mean that we should leave alone such groups, tribes or cultures, even if they are living with their animals, starving or the children are dying of malaria, typhoid or dysentery? If these groups wish to be left alone we can certainly do that, I suppose, that does not necessarily make it right to allow them to live that way or die that way?

If emerging nations want us to back off and let them be, should we? It is their civilization and if they really do not want assistance, I suppose we could let them be. Perhaps, however this is a choice. If a group of humans living together make that choice then why would one take it away? And if a group of humans decide that is their direction, no matter what leads them to this choice including; mass media input, academic brain washing or self interest ego enhancing incentive, then who is to say they are not right? And if they are wrong who is to say it is up to another to teach them the errors of their ways or help them from making such a misstep.

For those who argue that point and use it to tell the world that globalization is bad, then their statements pre-assume that globalization is a bad thing, who is to say it may not be a wonderful thing upon completion?

I have heard others argue against globalization and say we do not understand because in the Western World we are driven by material achievement. They say in Eastern Cultures and many of the other cultures they are not driven by material things but rather enlightenment? This is interesting as in a modern Western Civilization you are living in an advanced society with more choices and if one chooses to be enlightened well whose stopping them? Go be enlightened? For the person who offers this contention in opposition, they assume that the Eastern lifestyle is more fulfilling than the Western Lifestyle.

From all the civilization on Earth in the present period and all the various forms of government, which are currently in operation, it seems that Globalization may provide incredible options for those who join in. What is wrong with choice, options, good health, things that makes one
