Since ancient times, trades between the countries and communities have been forged. The world has since
built and enriched based on the intensification of trade, despite periods of crisis or instability. The world has never produced so much wealth. Never technologies have been developed that much. And never been so many exchanges between countries. Yet inequality and poverty are increasing. Globalization, a phenomenon marking the last thirty years, generated by advances in technology, particularly in the field of transport and telecommunications, has amplified the economic, financial, cultural relations between human societies, but to date has not improved the welfare of men. The expansion of communications (facilitating the movement of goods, capital and men) could lead to improved relations between people, reduce inequalities, increase cooperation between states, but this is not what there.
Globalization could be positive for people and the planet, but rather the current choices have led to impoverishment and widespread looting of resources. Thus, the world has never been rich, but has never been wrong. The world's wealth has increased but the gap between the richest and poorest has increased over the past 30 years. Some may be rich but overall, poverty is increasing in poor countries as in rich countries.

We certainly cannot all be attributed to globalization. Wars, dictatorial political regimes, natural disasters are largely responsible for the impoverishment of the population. However, globalization has a direct impact undeniable. And competition between workers of the world is forcing companies to pay their employees less and less, including a slow destruction of social rights. Also a lot of uncontrolled international trade tends to weaken local economies. From the environmental point of view also, the increase in transport is a disaster and contributes to global warming. Over-consumption of resources, pollution varied lack of respect for natural resources.
The term globalization is used mainly in the economic field, globalization today is commercial. The distance was not an issue, companies from different countries trade more internationally. It is economical for increasing economic actors borders no longer exist: firms can produce in
The current globalization, essentially governed by private interests, is made all the more violent it is characterized by a "deregulation" (decrease of the rules). Governments, in fact, continue to reduce various forms of controls and rules that could regulate economic activities. This has negative consequences both socially and environmentally. We see growing, globally, the forms of competition becoming tougher between workers. Instead of pushing companies to respect the rules of the international organizations and governments, the lack of control instead pushes to break free. On the other hand, the generalization of the so-called criminal economy (drugs, corruption, money laundering, financial crime, illegal work) is also explained by the greater opportunities that financial deregulation.
This system of economic exchange has a lot of benefits to many people, but its consequences affect human and social impacts a massive population in all countries (unemployment, social insecurity, glaring inequalities). Many require the creation of new forms of control, the shift of national and international policies and the rule of the rights of people on private interests and financial balances. Thus the link between citizens of the world is clearer and the need to unite most obvious: it is no longer to show solidarity to help some, it is to act together against the same dysfunction. And that is what motivates the "global justice".
