Introduction to Sociology / Q&A (1010) / Taerim Kim

Q1. Could globalization collapse again?



I think that's possible. As soon as I got this question, this thing came up right through. There is a youtuber I used to watch, she recently launched her brand. Most of the people are celebrating her, but some people are accusing her that her clothing lines are made in China, instead of US. Basically, they blamed her for not using America's labor force. Yes, that makes sense. If she made her clothes in the US, that might be helpful to their economy. In some point, I think that kind of thoughts is selfish. Clearly, there are reasons that she produced clothes in China. For example, it'd be much cheaper on price. However, like this, if people only think about their own countries' interest, globalization might collapse. 



Q2. Wars are unlikely, but how about a new plague?

The post-antibiotic era means the day when numerous disease becoming not curable with antibiotic treatments. I think if disease which unresponsive to antibiotic treatments created, globalization definitely will be collapsed. Like, when Evola created. People spent lots of time to find the treatments but it takes to long to create while people keep getting a disease, some people said that they should stop visiting those countries, and also said that they should close the door at the airport to block the people from Evola spreading. People might want to do in that way because waiting for developing medication is hopeless and they want immediate action. And if they keep going in that way, the more country is will be disconnected with them and globalization might be collapsed.
