A Critique of the Juliette Beck Speech -- Argumentative Persuasive Pol

A reappraisal of the Juliette Beck Speech Juliette Becks speech, Reclaiming Just and Sustainable Communities in the Age of Corporate globalisation neither adequately described the problems of globalization as it is currently body structured, nor did it countenance every answers to the problems with it, either the real problems that actually exist (labor and environmental exploitation) or the problems that Beck purported (large corporations). Primarily, Becks speech was flawed in that it was incoherent and empirical incorrect. For instance 1) it purported the conceit that globalization was not inevitable, 2) it called upon the myth of small is beautiful, confuse the real problem with globalization (Capitalist structure) with a false problem (the cuticle of the Corporate in a globalized world), and 3) it was often merely incorrect in some of the ideas and statistics that it stated. Also, the speech was not true to its title (well, maybe it was in that both were basically ridden with non-sense), in that it did not buckle under real stinting or political alternatives to Corporate Globalization.First, globalization already exists. The worlds economic structure is already on a global scale. Although change is possible, the idea that we fag end regress back into history, destroying a globalized world and making Localism oer all is not only a bad idea, but a useless, silly one. Capitalism, by its nature, is acquisitive, as is also imperialism. As long as either exist (usually joint hand and hand, at least in this point of pre-history), they will seek out, with the worlds wonderful technology and knowledge, the few untroubled beas left in the world. These forces, by the sheer scale that they exist on, are impossible to overthrow at local levels, a... ...cally flawed, and did not even give many localist alternatives to corporate globalization, in addition to not giving any real alternative to it. However, in spite of this, some people on campus were so inadeq uately informed about the reality of how globalization is beingness carried out that it did do some level of good. Under a incessant barrage of statistics and moralistic proclamations aimed at revealing the debased practices of institutions such as the IMF and World Bank, some students did leave with a better perspective on how corporate globalization (i.e. Capitalism, if they come to identify it as such on there own) is operating and with more interest with, at the least, neat more better informed on the issue and, at the best, even becoming involved with political and civil organizations aimed at humanizing and democratizing the process known as globalization.
