Various countries throughout the globe have experienced numerous economic transformations, and these transformations have originated from the changes that have in the end transformed the world into a global village. The changes have created a common market pool for the whole world which has finally impacted the recreation of the local industry in several ways. They have been the basis of tangible economic prosperity but a retarding experience towards the reconstitution of manufacturing and the local industry at large (Vaidya, 2006). It would thus be so mindful to hold the fact that globalization has made it impossible to reconstitute the local manufacturing and food market alike.
A number of countries have take to the streets in order to defend their workers from the problems that are intertwined with economic globalization. An incidence of the same manner was experienced in South Korea and as a result, the country has developed to be one of the most liberal capitalist countries that revolved against liberal globalization but are still making a better move. This paper is therefore going to elucidate how globalization has made it hard to reconstitute local manufacturing and local food market, the way anti globalization movements have found it hard in their course and finally what OSHA has accomplished in organizations and how it works with small businesses (Inglis & Gimlin, 2009).
The consumers are left to choose between the two commodities; the locally manufactured and the imported one. Competition, thus, arises between the locally manufactured goods and the imported one bearing in mind that an imported commodity becomes cheaper than the locally manufactured one thus making the consumers to prefer the imported one to the locally manufactured one. It is evident that in the food industry, most commodities are usually perishable and have a short consumption period. Imported foodstuffs are of lower quality owing to the fact that they have undergone a lot of processes to prevent them from spoilage and such processes involve a lot of preservative while on the other hand, the locally made ones are a direct reverse of these but consumers instead opt for cheaper exported products and this therefore daunt the reconstitution of the local food market (Pritchard & Burch, 2003).
In addition to this, it is also equally important to consider the promising increase anticipated in the food market where very many restaurants and big hotels have experienced enough food supply from the distributors. This means that there is sustainable consumption and reliable production whereby the reliable production could be counted on the sufficient manpower, improvement in technology or sustainable environment among other (Vaidya, 2006). The most important point to note here is that, this sustainable consumption mainly depends on the local consumption and it will be very true to conclude that the local population provides adequate market for the locally produced goods. Globalization has thus posed a threat to the local market through competitions by foreign investors thus depriving the local food market a chance of growth.
Globalization has permitted a lot of developed states to outsource job opportunities to other states and in this respect they seek to outsource manufacturing work to develop states like china whose cost of production is low and the wages in the same way are very low. The result of this is that many citizens have lost their jobs because of the influence (Kiple, 2007). Most job opportunities are channeled to developing states like India which impacts the growth of local industries as it deprives the local industries a reliable workforce. In addition to that, it would also be very important to look at the importance of the manufacturing process in the growth of local industries. The manufacturing industries provide job opportunities to the locals and in the same time promote infrastructural development of the place (Vaidya, 2006). Despite all these important contributions of the local manufacturing, globalization has rundown the local industry growth through the outsourcing of manufacturing work to foreign states.
In the same way, international competition has a number of effects on the growth of the economy of countries like the United States. It is very important to note that globalization has improved many nations’ economies at a particular scope. Nevertheless the danger it poses on the reconstitute of local manufacturing industries and food markets is also very evident. The increased weight on international competition has guaranteed the melting away of national policies that are aimed towards safeguarding the local community and upholding values of social equality; this therefore means that most governments work to impress the foreign investors with the sole purpose of nurturing the economic development (Kennedy, 2004).
The national government extends grants and assistance to the local government but drops as the government adapts rigorous measures which at the same time attributes to the fall in taxation margins in the event of lowering trade restrictions. The regulation on government expenditures limits the growth or reconstitute of local industries which stems from the support it offers to the local industry. This is thus evidence that the globalization has created a chain that has hampered the reconstruction of local industries and the local food markets (Pritchard & Burch, 2003).
Lastly the idiosyncratic role of the law enforcement plays in the economic world is an essential tool that can immensely influence the growth of an economy for instance; favorable economic policies initiated by the jurisdiction are bound to promote economic activities. The influence is based in a number of aspects that include the enactment of legislation and taxation. Globalization has influences political choices; democratic governance is prone to weaken out of the forces of globalization that force government officials to enact legislation that favor the international market. Such influences on the legislation deny the local industry a favorable base of economic growth (Kiple, 2007).
It is so important to look at globalization being of great importance to the world at large. Conversely it has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that globalization has held back the reconstitution of local manufacturing and local food markets. It is so important to look at the hazards it poses and reduces economic policies to be able to reconstitute the local manufacturing and food markets. This therefore means that as globalization continues, the reconstitution of local industry and food market will be absolutely impossible.
The main reason for the creation of this act was to create occupational safety and health administration with is mission being to help employees and employers reduce on the job injuries, illnesses and deaths. To a great extent, this act has accomplished its purpose because; the number of on the job injuries and deaths has drastically reduced over a period of time. The employees can now enjoy good medical schemes which are as a result of the OSHA act. The employers on the other hand can now smile because of the limited costs that they incur in the treatment of on the job injuries and other related problems (Lechner, 2009).
In conclusion, this act is very instrumental in big organization; small businesses may not be in position to enjoy the sweet provisions of this act because of their small physical size. Finally the anti-globalization movements can be described as not being successful. This is because despite the few complains that it has against globalization, there is much more that globalization has done that many countries are not still ready to buy the idea of stopping globalization. This therefore means that the world is narrowing despite the movement against globalization
