Anti-Globalisation Groups, what they're all about...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1305103.stm

I think this article has summed it up best for me, with these main points,

When it comes to the anti-globalisation groups they cover a wide range of world issues, including;

  • Environmentalism
  • Third world debt
  • Animal rights
  • Child labour
  • Anarchism- belief in the abolition of government 
  • Anti-capitalism
Opponents of globalisation say it leads to exploitation of the world's poor, workers, and the environment. They say it makes it easier for rich companies to act with less accountability. They also claim that countries' individual cultures are becoming overpowered by Americanisation. Several of the largest US brands (eg McDonald's and Starbucks) face particular opposition.
