Only to a minor extent. We can not avoid certain things, like the connection of cultures and markets and people, but, that is as far as it should go. I for one will never allow my country to become subserviant to international governence. I will never allow my government to sign on to treaties that violate our constitution, my state laws or my state constitution. I will never allow the U.N. any authority over my life, my state or my country. Nor will i recognize any other laws to be enforced on my own soil other than those of my country, my state and our state and national constitutions. The idea that globalization leads to economic prosperity for all is a myth, a flawed utopian ideal. It only leads to the pverty of all. Spreading wealth doesn't raise the standards of nations, it lowers them to the same level as others around them, creating only the illusion of improvement. ALthough it is a beautifull ideal, wealth for all, it is not achievable. Creating more money only leads to devaluing that money, rather than increasing wealth.

Yes Globalisation is necessary, for an economy to grow. Globalisation refers to the integration of economic, technological, socio-political factors with the world. And with globalisation, with the mutual co-operation and assistance -particularly with reference to the law of comparative advantage- it is going to be beneficial. Globalisation also helps reducing the poverty level in the country-there are plenty of evidences and record to support it.Developing countries specially require globalization. Because Indians are very rich in resources of skilled manpower.So Other countries are interested to invest in India.We don't have that much funds/money to make very huge industries or developments.There is no shame to invite other countries for investing.lot of advantages are there..employment,infrastructure development,tourism , foreign exchange and etc..Even America would be nowhere if globalisation was an imaginary concept never put forward. Half the world's countries would be reeling in depression right now if not for globalisation. For example, petroleum, most countries are on the verge of depleting their entire reserves and some countries don't have it at all. Seeing this if not for globalisation the entire world would be left crippled due to the massive energy crisis facing them. While globalisation is necessary it is not sufficient to ensure communities gain from globalisation. To keep and spread the gains,government must not only reduce barriers to trade and investment, they must also get domestic policies right. Many people may think that globalisation is making poor countries poorer. However the evidence is very convincing that developing countries that globalise grow and reduce poverty level faster than those that do not. For example, recent study of 72 developing countries shows in the 1990's globalising developing economies real incomes and output grew faster, on average about 4 times faster, than inward looking economies' output.....
