Unit 5 Lesson 6 Impact of trade: Omer Kadyrov
Testo Storyboard
- "I totally see the benefits of global trade. I cannot imagine what our world might be like now if those exchanges had not happened."
- "Well, I get where you're coming from Sally, but let's not forget about the negative effects of globalization either. The Europeans were not the most respectful in their takeover of lands.”
- "“Of course, there were also negative consequences of globalization. As you mentioned, the Europeans often used violence and exploitation to gain control of new lands and resources. They also enslaved millions of people to work on their plantations and mines.”
- You’re right, John, the negative effects of globalization in the 16th and 17th centuries were significant. But I believe that the benefits ultimately outweigh the costs. For example, global trade led to the introduction of new crops and technologies to different parts of the world.”
- “I can see your point, Sally. Global trade has certainly had a positive impact on the world in many ways. But I still think it’s important to remember the negative consequences of globalization, especially for the people who were exploited and oppressed by the European colonizers."
- But I believe that the long-term benefits of global trade have been worth the costs. Today, we live in a more interconnected and prosperous world than ever before. And this is largely due to the centuries of global trade that have come before us.”
