How can we resist the negative aspects of globalization?

We may begin with an understanding and acknowledgement of globalization as a very real political, economic, historical process. We may also begin with a belief that social change through activism is an attainable goal. Then we may look to such movements as "grassroots globalization" as an alternative to corporate-led globalization. "Grassroots globalization" efforts cross borders in the name of public coalitional interests rather than the desires of private interest groups. It is crucial to hold corporations accountable for activities deemed detrimental to local communities within the global community. Eventually, corporations must make concessions if popular demands are strong enough. We may also scrutinize the media and the ways in which it is complicit with corporate-led globalization efforts.

Take to the streets. Take to the pen (or pencil, or brush, or any other imprinting instrument). Take to the media. Take to the internet.
