Examining Global Inequalities: Impact of Globalization on Canada and Worldwide

This exploration delves into the profound inequalities driven by globalization, focusing on both Canada and the global community. It examines income disparities, poverty levels, and the repercussions of colonial legacies and structural adjustments. Through case studies like Bangladesh, Cuba, and resources like asbestos, we ask: does globalization exacerbate inequality, or can it foster equality? We ponder the roles of foreign aid and national elites, seeking solutions for a more equitable future.
