Classes make me think? what?

Last year, I took an amazing class called Jews in Latin America.  I learned so much about different cultures and histories, and it's one of those subjects that you don't learn about everyday.  High school never taught me about half of what I gained in that class.  Of course, I was really interested in learning more about things I had no clue about, which is why I decided to take Workers and Globalization in the Americas.  I really was hesitant Monday after, when we first arrived, we had to organize ourselves into small groups and discuss this subject that I didn't know.  We had to come up with four different reasons for how globalization effects daily life and vice versa.  I have to admit, right now, that I never have cared about what happens globally in the economy.  It isn't all my fault, really, considering we are taught from an early age that we live in this capitalist society that really benefits us.  However, in this class, which I have only been to twice, so I'm bound to learn more, I realized that we really should start caring about globalization.  Anyone will tell you, the first thing they think when they hear "globalization" is outsourcing, which is true. A  lot of companies fund major industries in smaller countries, which increases the jobs available, education that the people can partake in, and it creates a middle class that is able to live comfortably after living so many years as a lower class member. This all sounds great, especially because third world countries need guidance to help them out.  But, I have learned, companies are really only out for one thing (or maybe two), and that is power (or money).  There is this whole intricate system going on that involves the flow of power between countries.  Any company that decides to up and move starts the crash and burn of the countries who were actually starting to live.  It's something that can't really be stopped, can it?  I really hope to learn more about this, because it seems almost as important as global warming, which is something I really care about.
