You believe in promoting a more equitable, democratic, and sustainable global system that prioritizes social and environmental well-being over corporate interests and profits.
Alter-globalization, also known as anti-globalization, is a political ideology that advocates for a different type of globalization than the one currently dominating the world. It is not against globalization per se, but rather against the neoliberal, corporate-led version of it. Alter-globalization proponents argue for a more equitable and sustainable form of globalization that respects human rights, labor rights, and environmental sustainability.
The alter-globalization movement emerged in the late 20th century as a response to the increasing power of multinational corporations and…

How can we as individuals support farmers and producers in developing countries from our own neighborhoods?
@9KDT2XY3mos3MO
To support farmers and producers in developing countries from our neighborhoods within "Alter-Globalization," individuals can buy fair trade, shop local, join CSAs, advocate for ethical sourcing, and educate others
@9KDSVTJIndependent3mos3MO
allow company to find lower cost ways to produce their products
We can give them more funding to support these farmers & producers.
@9KDT5GZ3mos3MO
We should try to go to the farmers market before a large supermarket to directly support local farmers. Along with that, when the farmers markets are unavailable, supermarkets should purchase more from developing countries as long as they follow health codes and give their products a place in the eye of the American public.

How would you convince your peers that volunteering locally can have global impacts?
@9KDTGFS3mos3MO
because if you volunteer that's shows other that volunteering isn't bad and it will draw in a lot more faces and that would have enough impact to have global impacts.
@9KDT3K43mos3MO
Critical Race theory is inherently political and shouldn't be taught in schools. I don't even believe in the theory.
@9KDVC9P3mos3MO
Probably use a bit of social media but mostly in person interactions
@9KDTSTGIndependent3mos3MO
I'd encourage it, but only after extensive research is conducted.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Would you wear clothing made from recycled materials if it became the new trend, and how do you think it could impact the fashion industry?
I don't really care, as long as it isn't expensive.
@9KLV6JG2mos2MO
the survival of future generations is more important than how much an item of clothing costs, especially if it will last a long time and is sustainable
@9KHGSWM2mos2MO
I would not personally because then I feel like it would stink unless they wash it or smoething and it won't feel good on my skin
@9KDVFFZ3mos3MO
I would wear it if the quality was comparable to other clothes.
@9KDTFK8Peace and Freedom3mos3MO
I would not wear it because I would like to be more comfortable then follow the "trend"
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How would you encourage your friends to engage in issues like fair trade or labor rights without overwhelming them?
@9KRKH8M2mos2MO
I honestly don't have an answer to this question. :)
@9KPV9P52mos2MO
Sign petitions and show articles of things that need improvement.
@9KPT78Z2mos2MO
I would encourage friends to begin to be aware of places they are buying from. Attempt to be sustainable or stand on morals when possible but don’t beat yourself up when a more affordable option is sold by a company you may disagree with and that’s the option you go with.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Imagine a world where every worker has the same rights and wages as developed countries; what do you think would be the biggest challenges?
@9HCTL336mos6MO
The biggest challenge would be work ethic. If every one is being paid the same regardless of the amount of time put in, people would slack. This is the problem with communism,
@9HCTMZSPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
the biggest challenge that we will faced will be the impact on the global economy meaning the increase cost and will also cause competitiveness
@9HCTNDM6mos6MO
Equalizing worker rights and wages globally faces challenges like economic disparities, corporate resistance, policy complexities, and balancing living standards across nations.
@9HCTMCW6mos6MO
The biggest challenge is production. With everyone having the best systems, then nothing cheap can be produced and overall the world will just go into recession, leading to dictators and the worst of the worst into taking power.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Could you envision a global campaign that you would be passionate about, and what issue would it address?
@9HLPQ8R5mos5MO
I can envision a global campaign that i would be really passionate about. One issue that i think is really important is environmental suitability.
@9HLPQJS5mos5MO
Global campaign that i might be passionate about is nuclear power and energy
@9HLPRMW5mos5MO
We need to conserve energy and care for and protect our planet.
@9HLPQSK5mos5MO
It needs to address that animals are in danger and that this is going to far.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do you define success, and should global progress be measured by something other than economic growth?
@9HLQ74W 5mos5MO
Global progress should be measured by life. Not economy, just life. We should try to be more successful in helping our planet, too. We're speeding up global warming by globalization. We shouldn't measure our success because of how much money we have, it's silly. Focusing on helping the planet should come first. Earth can't support all of us.
@9HLQ3545mos5MO
i think that gobalization should be decided by how successful the country is.
@9HLPXP45mos5MO
No, I feel like they kind of match up with each other so it would be beneficial for economic growth
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How might your shopping habits be impacted if all products included information about their environmental footprint?
@9HZXJ7H4mos4MO
I would be less likely to buy cheap, fast-made, cash-grab items and significantly more likely to purchase sustainably made, made-to-last products.
@9HZXLSM4mos4MO
If all products showed information about its enviromental footprint, it will definetly decrease my spending habits on clothes. I'm a strong believer in saving the earth from climate change and such, and even contribuiting to it in this manner is nothing something I'd participate in.
@9HZXDZK4mos4MO
Uhh, idk, buying more plastic stuff increases plastic production which increases plastic pollution so...idk
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How do you balance the convenience of technology with concerns over privacy and data control in a global digital market?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What's one action you've taken to address climate change, and how do you think it contributes to global efforts?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
What role do you think social media plays in shaping our understanding of global issues, and is it more helpful or harmful?
@9HFYP5DWomen’s Equality5mos5MO
Social media is extremely harmful when shaping and understand global issues. The Media portrays whatever agenda they want to push without providing all the facts.
@9HFLTXP 5mos5MO
I believe that social media plays a negative role when shaping our understanding global issues. Yes, it allows the spread of information. But the information could be false or over exaggerated. It is best if they stick to the facts.
