American Women in the World

Globalization gave women worldwide access to one another through improvements in communication and technology, and brought them together as a unified force of empowerment. In more ways than ever, women are able to help one another in their quest for equality, and in many underdeveloped countries, justice from the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse from men (India). Now, more than ever, global organizations exist with the sole purpose of improving women’s lives around the world.

Globalization across the board leads to income inequality by creating a dependency on foreign investment and world trade versus domestic market and worsening income gaps. Often, due to globalization, manufacturers in countries that are opening factories are looking for new work classes to exploit for low wages and unfair conditions. Globalization, while has its benefits, can lead to the exploitation of workers, especially women, in the industrial workplace, specifically among third world economies. Globalization has also lead to an increase in foreign affairs, and in this particular context, foreign wars. America has troops in over 150 countries worldwide, establishing a dominating male presence regardless of female military personnel.
