Just Do It... Or Else

The artist of this political cartoon is obviously in strong disapproval of certain effects of globalization. Mass corporations, such as Nike (as depicted) and the demand of their products result in the enslaving of poorer countries with a large working force; in places known as sweatshops. This not only results in the loss of resources, natural land, and the ruining of peoples' lives, but also the tragic loss of a unique collective identity that the enslaved people used to have in their natural environment. Many cultures' ways of life are drastically changed by the introduction of mass production corporations and their ruthless treatment of the workers. :(
