what is the function of globalization? and what is the problem of globalization?

Q. can you tell me a current and relevant examples for globalization today. thank you so much if you can tell me as clearly as possible about this hotly-spoken word "globalization". THANK YOU!!!!

A. In a word ,C O N T R O L ! You will hear all kinds of good things that can come of "Globalization", but deep down, control of commerce and our very individual lives are at the center of the issue. I caught a blurb on Y!A here about a proposal from France's Sarkozy about us getting in line with the rest of the European Union's currency , that we should follow suit. At this point , we have our own currency, and we are not yet quite in the cluches of U.N. /Euro control, but we are standing on a slippery slope , and I fear for our nation. The benefit to other nations of globalization is that their standard of living gets lifted. Guess what happens to ours? It falls, that's not a guess, that's a fact! Cases in point, look at the auto industry, they sent so much of the work overseas that paid well here in the U.S. ,the American real content is very low in so called "American Made" cars. Look at toy manufacturers, I THINK it was Mattel, ( correct me if I've got the wrong one) that has a setup in China making toys for export back here in the U.S. that were painted with lead paint. We got them here and had them tested for toxins, found lead paint, the manufacturer apologizes to , of all people , the CHINESE!!! WE get the back of their hand!! Let's go from there to the infant formula that sicken and killed children that was made in CHINA. They DO NOT operate under the same parameters as U.S. manufacturers do, and don't let anyone tell you they do! These people that set up shop overseas are dubiously called "American Businesses" selling out our very nation. What do you think,does globalization help our country?

Original Question

infant toys and lead paint?

Q. are there any particular brands of infant toys that are made in the usa? or anywhere but China?

A. Little Tykes, I believe. However, most are from Asian countries. There are lead test kits you can buy to test items in your home. The kits start at 4 bucks. I think you can get them at hardware stores.

I have desided to buy my baby for Christmas only wooden toys. And if I buy plastic I will make sure its not from China.
Wooden toys dont have slinters they are made so well that a child can bit it and wont get splinters.

A. I'm also making a concerted effort to buy more locally-made toys, made from organic products such as wood, this Christmas. I just feel that we haven't learned all that we will in the coming months/years about plastics and how inorganic materials in children's toys can affect their health.
