Immanuel Wallenstein
theory of The World Systems stated there are many parts of the machine.
Globalization. All parts work together in order for them to work. Wallenstein theorized world economy is a large
geographic zone within which there is also a division of labor. There is no bound by any type of political
structure. Historically, we have always been concerned with economics.
Often politics will
discuss the new world order, this refers to any period of history evidencing a dramatic
change in world political thought and the balance of power. The new world order
is the transition of globalization process. Wallenstein claimed that the world has always
been a Capitalist world economy.
Wallenstein
theorized that economically rich and poor counties have a role to play in the
world. The periphery countries are the weakest. They often provide cheap labor
and raw materials. The raw materials
produced are the resources the world needs in order to sustain. There has always been a capitalist elite
group of people who make the decisions. According to Wallenstein, each
geographical country has a government to maintain its order, the authoritative figures who have sculpted politics. Wallenstein suggesting there is a government within our government.Wallenstein's model allows us to compare and contrast globalization and the change it has made in the world. One advantage is it does help boost the economy. Unfortunately, like all man, there is greed. There are countries that have little labor laws. The people ruling these countries are valuing the commodity income over the people who live in the country. The distributing of wealth in the world has been filled with corruption since the beginning. This is one aspect of globalization that is flawed. People are working day and night to make little wages. They are starving to death. There needs to be change as to how wealth is distributed.
Globalization is part of the world agenda, it is being socialized through mainstream media. As we are socialized, we adjust to globalization easier. The sociologist I have discussed in the previous blogs
are all connected with the world today. Their individual theories and views have
shaped the world into what it is today.
