1) Reading over the points that both Dr. Shiva and Chandy/Gertz make about globalization, I firmly believe that both of their positions can be valid. I agree with Chandy and Gertz that globalization has, in fact, reduced poverty, much of it in ways that are not readily apparent.

All of humankind’s behavior would be priory determined, and; therefore, man would be left with no choice or creativity (Fischer 1994).
