Globalization brings more harm than benefits to developing countries

Definition

Globalization: The worldwide movement toward economic, financial, social, cultural, environmental and political integration. It implies the opening of local and nationalistic perspectives to a broader outlook of an interconnected and interdependent world with free transfer of capital, goods, and services across national frontiers.

Developing countries: They are the nations with a less developed industrial base, and a low Human Development Index (HDI) relative to other countries. For example, people have lower life expectancy, less education and income.

South Africa, China, Brazil, Russia, India (BRICS) : The BRICS members are all developing or newly industrialized countries

Counter argument

More job opportunities, lower unemployment rate, better life, more income
