ES1102 Survey Questions for "The Double Edge of Globalization"

1) In paragraph 2, the writer states "That charge holds if,.....". What is the charge that the writer is referring to?

2)Which sentence in the article suggest that globalization is not the only factor contributing to deforestation?

3)In paragraph 7, the writer quoted "a 7000 km chain that starts with the clearing of virgin forest by farmers and leads directly to chicken nuggets being sold in British and European fast food restaurants" and also brought out the example of the British importation of soy animal feed from Brazil as tantamount to "forest crime". What is the factor that the writer is trying to attribute deforestation to?

4)What changes have to happen before we are able to tackle global challenges?

  2. I really like these questions, Chin Hwee.

    However, in #3, you need a different verb to express what the writer did:

    the writer quoted >>> the writer stated that/ the writer asserted that

    Thanks for the effort!

  3. 1) He was referring to the statement that globalization destroys rainforests/the environment.

    2) The sentence is, “Serious critics of globalization acknowledge that deforestation cannot be laid at the door of globalization alone.”

    3) It was the failure of global and local governance to adopt and promote conservation and reforestation.

    4) Firstly, key actors have to be willing to participate in the change process, as this would empower the UN to be more effective in implementing actions in tackling some of the major humanitarian disasters.

    Secondly, nations have to be committed to the pact that they have signed. This is because, steps taken to implement efforts to ameliorate the problems would be more effective if countries were consistent and committed with the pact that they agreed on.
