Individuals run the risk of exploitation in various forms, workers can have little power over wages locally in a global market and many workers are forced out of jobs for lower paid workers and even modern-day slaves. The objectification of individuals for slave labor hints to the extent of the conflict and crushing fall-out from global Capitalism. This extreme form of exploitation is many times individually justified, as the slave-holders believe they are masters in the world of business and need to tend to those, who are not equipped with business-sense with guidance. People are, also, traded just as commodities in the world of human trafficking and the latter two examples should give pause to any person in favor of globalization and the extent of actions taken to compete and cash-in in countries throughout the world.
Hyper-consumption and the spread of mega-chains locally and globally have similar devastating effects on individuals, communities, and countries. Individuals and countries are increasingly moving into situations of disparity due to increasing debt from hyper-consumption and the Imperialistic spread of chains, such as Wal-Mart and McDonalds. Smaller companies are put out of business due to the power of these large corporations and communities suffer from outsourced jobs. Additionally, states offer incentives for corporations to come to their area, remain there, or grant money for improvements to factories and plants known as corporate welfare. The effects of this allocation of state expenses to this area always creates a deficit for the individuals living within those areas, whether it be in higher taxes levied or the lack of funding for other needed services in the community. Many times the promise of increased jobs in economically challenged areas are embraced and accepted, but the reality is many corporations will move on to obtain the most money available elsewhere in terms of incentives or lower-wages in other countries.
