One second. What does globalization mean?
It makes it easier because a lot of things are there
which are not available in India, and a lot of things
are available in India which are not available abroad.
Something across the globe could be
in your own supermarket overnight,
or something you order online
could be at your doorstep the next day.
I think it definitely makes life cheaper.
I'm not sure if it makes life easier.
We've got access to a larger variety of things.
Of course, that does come with
its own ethical compromises, doesn't it?
Definitely not from the UK.
A lot of my clothes probably come from
China, Taiwan, Cambodia.
Definitely 90% of the products that you name,
it comes from China.
China.
I think from China.
Everything's made in China.
Being able to live wherever we want, do whatever we want
is basic human rights.
As an employee, I would love to work
in any country I wish, but as a citizen and a taxpayer,
I wouldn't want anyone to be able to come to my country
and work, which is a very two-sided answer.
A person should be able to live and work
where they're most comfortable and what matches their own
opinions and perspectives in life.
In an ideal world, yes,
but we're not living in an ideal world.
It's not an ideal world.
Yes and no.
Yes, but within regulations.
It should be possible, but under current circumstances,
definitely it is very tough.
I think it is good to moderate who's actually
coming into the country and who's leaving the country.
You should always secure your perimeters.
I believe that we should have
a free movement of people, wherever they want.
Why should people benefit or be segregated outside
purely based on the lottery of where they're born?
I think we need borders because we don't live in
a utopian society where we can manage stuff
on a global basis.
But equally, there are obviously huge downsides,
particularly in terms of inequality between countries.
But we're not at a stage now
where we're willing to create global equality.
I would say
It can be
Obviously
but also
like who gets to dig up the seas.
Definitely
And then closely linked to that is
But also human rights violations across different countries.
We need to work together in all this to
coerce other countries to act more ethically.
A lot of countries, they think they should be the best,
and no one else should actually be better than them.
Countries come at problems from
completely different angles.
Different people and different lobbies
have different agendas.
Red tape, corruption, inefficiency of governments.
So when you're trying to tackle
all the countries' problems together,
they're trying to focus on what
harms them the most as opposed to what harms others.
It's about recognizing your own positionality
and your own place in the world.
I think it's about engaging with issues
that affect other people.
It means being understanding towards
others' cultures, countries, and beliefs.
It generally means caring for humanity as a whole,
as well as for the nature that you are living in.
Someone who's willing to give back to
their communities and to the world.
Doing your best, really, to go about things in
your everyday life with a little bit of mindfulness
about how your actions impact the wider world around you.
