Negative Aspects of Globalization
Since globalization has brought the international community closer together, many conflicts of interest have occurred. The professional workforce has suffered (in some aspects) due to globalization because of outsourcing employment opportunities to other countries that do not have mandated compensation laws. From a medical and epidemiological perspective, trans-continental disease spreads more easily, and pharmaceutical companies are able to produce diagnostic products for illnesses that are not prevalent in all parts of the world. Due to product sociability, these products are marketed to populations that may not need them and advertised as necessary devices. Globalization has also brought about misperceptions of illness by the press, specifically in epidemic illnesses. Popular media sources often publish that a specific illness is "immanent, prevalent, or of concern" [3] . Furthermore, we see the spread of cultural deficincies, third party resource consumption, and more frequent military engagements (policing in nature).
