Self-study:Listen to an online lecture(The new rulers of the world)

Title:The new rulers of the world
John Pilger

Proverty in Indonesia:almost one in five

Some notes:
1.In the process of globalisation in Indonesia,the weathers will become more wealthy.
2.Globalisation affects the politics of Indonesia.
3.The money provided from the World Bank to reduce proverty in Indoniesia have been misused or removed by government.
4.The economic global makes most Indonesia people in proverty.


Summary:
John Pilger takes the Indoniesia as an example when explaining globalisation in our world.

In his opinion,in the process of globalisation in Indonesia,the weathers will become more wealthy.Some one will spend large amount of money to organise a luxury wedding,but five miles away,there are millions of people living in proverty.The mutinational corperations earn big share of benefit from globalisation,but on the other side,the workers in these corperations work in worse conditions that badily demage their health.

Globalisation affects the politics of Indonesia.Many counties pay large amount of money to the government to build their army which directly impacts the policy in the developing countries.

In the world of globalisation,money can be move any time or anywhere.IMF's aim is to reduce the provert.They spend a lot of money to Indonesia to develop the education,food,heath.But it has been proved that he money provided from the World Bank have been misused or removed by government.It is said that"at least 20-30% of government of Indonesia development budget funds are diverted through informal payments to government staff&politicians."

The economic global makes most Indonesia people in proverty.As the credit crunch spreads the world,the banks in Indonesia are in the bankrupt situation.This leads the price of food rise up,many people can't afford the high price which cause them in proverty.

Many people against the Trade Organisation and IMF for they make the rich begin more richer,the poor begin more poorer.It is clear that there are more than 10 millions people living in the proverty which has a rising tendency in the furture.

John blames the globalisation which makes the world unhealthy.It should create new rules to improve the globalisation more efficiency.
