Globalization is a widely used term for the contemporary and growing interaction of broad economic and cultural processes linking people, culture and societies across the world. According to Sanabria, globalization is the flow of people, goods, investment, technology and production across national borders, as well as the relationship between global economic interests and deforestation. Although globalization has its benefits, it is a very poorly defined term due to the way in which international interaction has placed enormous and damaging pressure on the environment. One of the positive effects of globalization is that countries are progressing more quickly in using resources to industrialize. Additionally, with the growing awareness of the detrimental effects this has on the environment, new research is underway to create safer and “greener” technology and energy. On the other hand, globalization has led to environmental stresses such as global warming, pollution, degradation and deforestation due to excessive use of natural resources to meet increasing demand. According to Sanabria, the South American Amazon region is home to the largest area of ​​subtropical rainforest in the world and the largest reservoir of plant biodiversity on the planet. Deforestation plays a significant role in global warming and raises concerns about the potential disappearance of the Amazon rainforest. In explaining how and why deforestation occurred, Sanabria mentions government encouragement of migration to underpopulated tropical and subtropical regions in the early 1960s. The process of shifting cultivation, where trees were cut down and burned in order to to improve soil fertility, was... middle of paper......education, discipline and rules.

At the hands of modern civilized peoples, the indigenous peoples of the Amazon have experienced a certain amount of suffering, and oil drilling has had a disastrous effect on the environment. Sanabria's chapter entitled "Perspectives on Globalization" and the documentary "Trinkets and Beads" provide two comparative perspectives on the negative effects of globalization. In Sanabria's text we gain secondary knowledge, whereas in the documentary we were able to visually see the harmful effects of deforestation. Although globalization has some benefits, it has a negative effect on the environment and the individuals living in it, as explained in this essay..
