It might be interesting to discuss the questions too

"Agree"

For example, globalization will lead to deals with dictators who use slave labor camps. In this case, the trans-national corporations that are willing to make those deals have an advantage over those not willing to make those deals. Such deals should not happen.

On the other hand, you could say, it "just does" serve humanity when the deals are between trans-national corporations. The evidence is kinda in: it's lifted a billion people out of extreme poverty, and this is giving the world a path to become middle class.

So what you really want is for that trade to happen, but with enough oversight between trading partners so that basic human rights aren't violated.

And, uh, I guess, such a world could use economic sanctions if the wealth from these deals is used to gain political or military power. I guess
