It is very clear that language exchange is cultural. We have the same. It's surprising how used we are to these issues.
ResponderBorrarThe event of the assembly of a car are clearly an economic thing because in involves some countries but it provides economic relief to all of them.
ResponderBorrarHey Majo, I just see your table, we share same ideas about aspects of globalization and its events. What do you think the most important aspect of globalization?
ResponderBorrarHi! We have the same answers for every aspect, I thought we would have differences in at least one of them.
ResponderBorrarI would like to know your reason on the second point. I commented on that, since they call it economy of scale, companies reduce costs, but at the same time offer new jobs to the countries citizens, but that also has an impact on the race to the bottom.
What about you?
I think you are right in every aspect but as I did my work I realized that there could be more than one in certain examples. What do you think?
ResponderBorrarIt is amazing how our ideas are similar, but I think each case can have more than one answer.
