HOW GLOBALIZATION CHANGED STUDENTS LIFE: BY GUSTAVO BRASIL

Hello, I'm Gustavo and today we're going to talk about an important subject, that is, globalization in the midst of a pandemic.Among other data, the survey points out that 45% of students were diagnosed with generalized anxiety and 17% with depression during the first year of the pandemic. In addition, more than 60% reported anxiety attacks and difficulty sleeping. Lack of motivation and concentration problems were reported by almost 80%. In addition to the overload of the hospital network and the dependence on a few producers, this led to considerable shortages in the drugs used, but not directly related to the treatment of the disease, as was the case with anesthetics, muscle blockers, sedatives and other products needed in the hospital. With the manufacture and marketing of durable and non-durable consumer goods in various parts of the world, multinational companies are agents that contribute to commercial and economic exchanges in the current International Division of Labor. Multinationals settle in different countries in search of important locational advantages that contribute to the reduction of production costs, such as better access to raw materials, the existence of weaker labor and environmental legislation, as well as the presence of labor cheap and others. The estimate of infected and dead competes directly with the impact on health systems, with the exposure of vulnerable populations and groups, the economic support of the financial system and the population, the mental health of people in times of confinement and fear of the risk of illness and death, access to essential goods such as food, medication, transportation, among others. In addition, the need for actions to contain social mobility such as isolation and quarantine, as well as the speed and urgency of testing drugs and vaccines, show ethical and human rights implications that deserve critical analysis and prudence. In my opinion, globalization did open many doors for technology, but many people experienced difficulties during this period. For example, the lack of technological resources. In many different parts of the world, Google Meet has become free for students to have the opportunity to learn, without needing the necessary financial resources. ASS: BRASIL
