I don't know if it will be too helpful on your specific question, but it might give you some ideas.

I'm off to bed now after a long night of pouring beerm and giving out scotch and cokes to bogans. I will post some personal views tomorrow mate.

Go to a library. This is the last place I'd recommend looking for help with school work.

I have a very good a huge Australian pdf file about the World Trade Organization but i cant seem to find it in the net. if you want it contact me. It talks about how it affects Australia and other countries.

You have to talk about the following:
- it ruins the environment, with the belief that "human is before nature" (although we know such policies will end up destroying the planet and we will extinguish in a few decades)
- it supports the exploitation of millions
- with globalization poor countries are exploited, those countries are forced to sell materials at cheap prices to survive, small businesses get broken and their owners must sell them and look for another work, ruining the "individual right of owning a business" the pro-globalization neo-liberals love to use to defned themselves
- talk about how wrongly it is used
- big corporations are organized by an authoritarian military type that resembles fascism. And considering that globalization is a tool used by neo-liberalism to base the politics on economic growth and, because of that, in the control of everything by huge corporations, well... neo-liberalism = neo-fascism
- talk about how ridiculous the "denfder of the individual rights" are
- talk about how this is used by yanquis to impose their imperialism, imposing us their culture and lifestyle
- the ones who control everything are never the ones in the thrid world, the rest of the world doesnt get information from any other country but yanquiland and a few european countries. So, globalization is yanqui imperialism done by the media, and the rest of the world doesnt even have the right to have that influence on things.
- it helps racism and lets nazis use what they hate to gain followers (freedom of press)
- it supports "democracy" but it supports dictators like Pinochet
- marks and big companies like nike, mcdonalds, microsoft control you
- The world loses its principles and people their nature because of the greed and the propaganda (marketing) of this system

Of course you need to be accurate and realistic or you will have problems with your teachers.
