effects of globalization
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would anyone dare to deny the social and human consequences of the neoliberal globalization imposed on the world?
- If 25 years ago five hundred million people were going hungry, today over 800 million are starving.
-In the poor countries, 150 million children are born underweight, which raises their risks of death as well as of mental and physical underdevelopment.
-325 million children do not attend school.
-Infant mortality rate under one year is 12 times higher than it is in the rich countries.
-33 thousand children die every day in the Third World of curable illnesses.
-Two million girls are forced into prostitution.
-85 percent of the world population made up by poor countries consumes only 30 percent of the energy, 25 percent of the metals and 15 percent of the timber.
-There are billions of full illiterates or functional illiterates on the planet.
How can the imperialist leaders and those who share in the plundering of the world speak of human rights and even use such words as freedom and democracy in this brutally exploited world?

and the poor ones always get attacked by the rich west, especially if they oppose the neo-liberal globalist policies of the west. first comes the defamation, then the embargoes and finally war....
