Anti-globalization is a political ideology that opposes the current form of globalization, arguing that it increases inequality within and between nations, threatens employment and living standards, and thwarts social progress. It is a social movement that advocates for a global economic system where trade, cultural exchange, and human interaction are not dominated by multinational corporations and international financial institutions.

Do you think it’s important to retain distinct local dialects and languages in the face of a globally dominant language?
@9KHV2XY2yrs2Y
Yes, it's important to keep your own culture. Language and dialects are apart of culture, you should not have to conform or feel out of place because of your own culture and heritage. Globalization ruins the opportunity for unique cultures to shine through.
@9KHRZCN2yrs2Y
everybody should be able to keep their own language.
@9KHRQ9CRepublican2yrs2Y
It is important to establish a diplomatic language to allow for ease in translation, but it should not be an established language to ensure local dialects and languages remain
@9KHRMLC2yrs2Y
Dialects are essential because they are part of our identity. They make us unique and give us a sense of belonging. Dialects also help us to express ourselves.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What kind of global policy change do you believe would benefit your local community the most?
@9KHYHSG2yrs2Y
Support the people struggling here in the US instead of funding issues in other countries
@9KHYMHG2yrs2Y
I believe that more investments in public transportation and larger cities would create a sense of interconnectedness and unity among the local population.
@9KHYBDV2yrs2Y
A decrease in outsourced jobs and an increase in local welfare.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would the absence of international sports and entertainment events affect your sense of global unity?
@9KHVZKRIndependent 2yrs2Y
The absence of international sports and entertainment events due to anti-globalization sentiments could weaken the sense of global unity by limiting interactions with with other cultures.
@9KHTT392yrs2Y
It would make me feel bad because of how individualistic and cold the world would feel.
@9KHSL6C2yrs2Y
a ton since large events like this really bring people together
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What's your stance on the claim that de-globalization might lead to more equal wealth distribution?
@9H6SBN5 2yrs2Y
The division of economies promotes interaction between them allowing for the money to be spread more evenly.
@9H6SBN5 2yrs2Y
It encourages economies to interact with one another and have competition, leading to more money spent while globilization denies the wealth to flow.
@9H6SF582yrs2Y
It encourages gloval buisness and may benefit economies in a few nations but consuwuences far out weigh benefits
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Could your local community survive an economic shift focused on regional trading rather than global?
I am not about anti Globalization, Globalization is coming together
@9J4KJNH2yrs2Y
Certainly not in the short term, if it were sudden. You can’t just amputate yourself from the world market, rather than making slow and gradual changes, and not expect your way of life to be drastically altered from the way it has been with the status quo.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When buying gifts, do you prefer items that represent your local culture or popular global brands, and why?

Popular global brands because it’s better looking.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What kind of local product do you take pride in, and why does it matter that it comes from your region?

If you had the power to change one thing about the way international companies operate in your region, what would it be?
Enact Policies that ensure everything is fair and peaceful.
@9HP56W62yrs2Y
I would just say be fair and don't screw people over
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How has the loss of a local business to an international corporation personally affected you or your community?
It doesn’t affect me when a business gets shut down
@9LFR57L1yr1Y
I feel bad when I see my favorite store gets shut down
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you describe a situation where a global celebration or event caused a local tradition to be overlooked?
Anti-globalization protests: Anti-globalization protests, such as the Seattle protests in 1999, are a rejectionist response to globalization. These protests argue that globalization benefits the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the poor and marginalized

Would you support measures that restrict foreign investment if it meant boosting your country's local start-ups?

@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you see the relationship between enjoying global media and maintaining your own cultural heritage?
@9HP4Q34Independent2yrs2Y
Media is no longer a platform of trust for the people anymore. There's too much exaggeration of the truth and not just plain truth. I enjoy more cultural heritage than global media.

@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In what ways have you noticed local leaders responding to global pressures, and what do you admire about their approaches?
@9LH9RVY 1yr1Y
If we can pull of Globalization without destroying culture then the positive will be infinite
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How has your community adapted to global economic challenges while maintaining its local identity?
@9LJC58Q 1yr1Y
Adapting to global economic challenges while maintaining a strong local identity can be a complex but achievable goal for communities that are wary of globalization. Here are some ways communities might approach this:
Supporting Local Businesses: Emphasizing the importance of patronizing locally owned businesses helps keep wealth circulating within the community and fosters a sense of connection between residents and local entrepreneurs. Encouraging consumers to buy local products and services can help mitigate the negative effects of globalization on small businesses.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What role do you think youth play in preserving local customs in the age of globalization?
@9L6PQ2Y2yrs2Y
The youth plays the role of learner. Most youths (including myself to a degree) don't really know much about their local customs, history, or even their own race.

@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How often do you consider the impact of global economic trends on your future job market, and what are your thoughts?
@9KHR9DP2yrs2Y
I think that the global economics will effect my job a lot when I’m older.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How much does 'buying local' factor into your family's purchasing decisions, and why?
@9KHPZTZ2yrs2Y
It would factor into it considerably due to most of my shopping being done at non-local facilities. But it would be manageable because I am so used to it on my daily life.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
