You believe that preserving local cultures, economies, and environments will lead to a more sustainable and equitable world.
Anti-globalisation is a political ideology that opposes the global integration and international influence that characterises globalisation. It is a broad movement that encompasses a range of viewpoints and concerns, but generally, anti-globalisation advocates argue that international economic integration allows rich nations to exploit poorer ones, exacerbates social inequalities, and undermines local cultures and traditions.
The anti-globalisation movement emerged in the late 20th century, as the process of globalisation accelerated due to advancements in technology and communicatio…

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the influence of multinational corporations in your everyday life?
@9HP5CFSRepublican2yrs2Y
No I have not felt the influence in my everyday life.
@9HP5Z9N2yrs2Y
Yes, I think some of the largest companies have been able to influence politicians and create laws benefiting themselves rather than the citizens of this country.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would your relationships with friends and family change if technology like social media was entirely local?
@9HTRVP72yrs2Y
I think it would definetly allow us to connect with each other more. But at the same time, I enjoy talking to my online friends.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How has the push for globalization affected your community's small businesses and their ability to compete?
@9HGZ9TH2yrs2Y
My communities small business seems to be doing good from an outside perspective
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would the clothing industry look in a world where fashion trends were dictated by local customs and climates?
@9K9XG2QRepublican2yrs2Y
The companies need to make the appropriate clothes for the geographic location and the consumer needs at the time.
@9K9XC9D2yrs2Y
It would decrease cost, as fashion at a high level is largely about concepts, rather than the actual clothing itself
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would the friendships you've formed online change if you could only connect with people from your own country?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever thought about the advantages and disadvantages of attending a school that focuses exclusively on local history and values?
@9L56Y5Q2yrs2Y
Schools need to focus on more world history other than European history. The only world history in school is European history and American, nothing about other parts of the world.
@9L56SNV2yrs2Y
Advantages of attending a school that focuses exclusively on local history and values for sharing history and the land they live on. However the disadvantages is not knowing about the world.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you imagine daily life if global streaming services or social media platforms were replaced by local alternatives?
@9HP5V6C2yrs2Y
I feel like they would put out incorrect information
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you could only read books written by authors from your region, what stories or perspectives do you think you'd encounter?
@9TFNFS71yr1Y
People fighting over money,healthcare and plenty more.
@9TFMWQLRepublican1yr1Y
Priviliged and not exposecd to the realities of the world.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What local events or festivals do you think could be lost in an increasingly globalized world?
Events of things against other religions or races.
@9J7KMXL2yrs2Y
Many events and cultures could be lost, but many could also be shared.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would your life be different if your community's economy prioritized local artisans and producers?
@9JPR3LB2yrs2Y
many more different artists instead of a few big ones
@2XXK6THConstitution 2yrs2Y
The USA would be a superpower economically & wealth would naturally flow to all Americans. Scarcity of resources would be less of an issue creating more unity.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What personal values would you prioritize in a world less influenced by globalization?
huge increase of wealth and communication and spread in knowledge
@9J7SDQ52yrs2Y
each individual should be putting their stance on everything on their voter ballot (if it worked that way of course) then that all needs to be sorted and given to leaders before they start campaigning so they know exactly what individuals want, not just what people in higher places assume or see in a majority that they want. globalization should not ever be implemented for more than a multitude of reasons but each person should be fully heard in their own country/ land.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you or someone you know been directly impacted by job outsourcing, and how did it affect your view on globalization?
@9HH5L3X2yrs2Y
I dont know anyone but i know that it affects people and trying to find a job to keep food on the table.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you seen any positive outcomes from grassroots movements or local activism against globalization in your community?
@9HP5TVC2yrs2Y
No I’m not sure if I seen any local activist for the grassroots movement.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In a scenario with no international aid, how do you imagine your community would tackle large-scale challenges?
@9J2ZRVD2yrs2Y
I think it would get much more difficult and would not be productive to us at all.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would the world change if every decision was made based on its impact on local cultures rather than global profit?
@9H3R9NFWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Better quality of life for locals. Social benefit over monetary gain as a country
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What aspects of globalization do you think could be contributing to an increase in cultural misunderstandings?
@9KFZTZ62yrs2Y
I think that cultures should be preserved, but also people should be able to experience other cultures.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How important is it for you to have access to global products and services versus locally produced ones?
@9JJ9546Constitution2yrs2Y
it is very important,BUT it must be allowed with AMericans in mind
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What concerns do you have about the potential impact of international agreements on your local job market?
@9JSWHXF2yrs2Y
How it might affect the amount of jobs offered to people
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would your fashion choices change if your wardrobe was sourced entirely from local designers and producers?
@9L8KFN72yrs2Y
it would be more limiting and less inclusive for personal expression
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can sharing and celebrating local success stories create a stronger sense of community; do you know any examples?
@9L8KXJJ2yrs2Y
It could in a way, it could inspire people, I do notNo
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If the products you use daily were all made in your local area, how do you think that would affect the community?
@9L867XTWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
It would have a positive outcome and a negavtive. The export would be minimalized, which means it would provide less money to the community. On the other hand it would be a great step towards a greener future.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think the importance of learning other languages would decrease in a world less connected by globalization?
@9KNPN78Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
I think requiring a language in school is important
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might language diversity be affected in a world leaning towards anti-globalization?
@9KB95752yrs2Y
Language diversity is very important because it helps to make everything and everyone more diverse and help to make places more interesting.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you were to start a business, how would you try to succeed without relying on global supply chains?
@9KZDYMG2yrs2Y
I would focus on building relationships with local suppliers while still valuing the quality of the product.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might your perception of social justice issues differ if examined solely from a local rather than global perspective?
@9KFBPKQConstitution2yrs2Y
Global issues are irrelevant often locally if you struggle to eat, or pay rent. So globalization can be positive in some ways and negative in others.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What would your reaction be if your local cultural landmarks were converted into commercial global tourist spots?
@9KFZ6QN2yrs2Y
I would be pissed while at the same time I wouldn't do much about it because not only is it sometimes impossible to get the government to take action but also that it could be close to impossible to go against those groups.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would hobbies and sports in your area change if they were no longer influenced by international stars?
@9LB3MNX2yrs2Y
There would not be as many people influenced to put a lot of extra time in hobbies and sports in order to get further like the stars they admire.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you think of ways that reduced global trade might make your community more self-sufficient or resilient?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What traditions in your family or community do you think resist the influence of global culture?
@9KDCTN5 2yrs2Y
The U.S. is a melting pot of peoples with its own established culture. A majority of people are a mix of many different nationalities with not one set culture. It is important to maintain and hold on to our values not not let other countries influence us.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What local achievements or talents are often overshadowed due to the global spotlight?
@9L5BFK92yrs2Y
Our achievements in the field of sciences are just not taken seriously because many people do not like America for its stance on the world stage
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If given a choice, would you prefer local news sources over international ones, and why?
@9K8Y2QK2yrs2Y
Mass media usually has bias and are trying to make lots of money, while other smaller sources (good and accurate ones) try to abolish bias and have just facts.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If your holiday celebrations excluded global influences, what unique local customs would you most enjoy?
@9LG28841yr1Y
it could be special rituals, ceremonies, and festivities that have been passed down through generations and that are deeply rooted in our heritage. by embracing the celebrating these customs, we can foster a sense of belonging and connection to our community while preserving the cultural identity.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think the health of the planet would improve if our lives were less globally integrated?
@9KJQKGH2yrs2Y
Yes in one way and no in another way. If anti-globalization occurs, many overseas businesses that engage in activities that harm the environment will see a decrease in business, which in turn will cause less people to do it. On the other hand, locally our lives would be more difficult. Things would no longer be outsourced and as a result would cost more.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's one local cause or issue you'd dedicate more time to if global issues weren't as dominant in the news and why?
@9TFRWGM1yr1Y
I’d dedicate time to local issues. There’s always something to improve. Even if we had no war, no disease, no homelessness, we’d still have issues within our own communities to work on. Honestly, this is what we should be focusing on rather than thinking we can all change the world. We’d have a far greater impact collectively improving our individual communities, which would thus improve things on a larger scale by extension.
