    1. An American company, Apple, sells iPhones, but their components are made all over the world.

      Are they manufactured all over the world as well or mainly in certain countries that have the tech available?

    2. We don’t need tariffs to protect workers in dying industries; we can offer them retraining assistance or welfare benefits to make their lives better despite the dislocations of a changing economy.

      There are new business that are waiting to enter globalization, creating possible jobs for workers.

    3. We forget or take for granted the benefits of trade — namely, all of the economic activity that creates jobs, raises household incomes and improves the quality of life for consumers (i.e., all of us).

    4. The Biden administration has shown no interest in rejoining the Trans-Pacific Partnership or in lifting tariffs on Chinese goods whose cost is paid by U.S. consumers.

      This is not good. Consumers are going to stop purchasing Chinese goods by a significant amount.

    5. President Biden doesn’t demonize globalization or trash trade agreements the way that President Donald Trump did, but he is continuing the same protectionist policies that Trump initiated.

      Does this mean there would be greater trade barriers due to Biden enforcing protectionism?

    6. Globalization has opened up a vast marketplace for the U.S. entertainment industry — but also ensured that it no longer enjoys a monopoly on the domestic market. That’s a good thing.

    7. No one should be surprised that so many of the best shows are no longer made in America.

      Many American shows now revolve around the same plots and all use very similar stereotypes to their characters and it makes for repetitive shows.

    8. “Game of Thrones” aired its last episode in 2019, and there has not been a U.S. series since then that has achieved a similar cultural impact.

      The series on the life of Jenni Rivera called 'Jenni Rivera: Mariposa de Barrio' greatly raised awareness of physical and mental abuse in relationships, especially against women.

    9. a new golden age with shows such as “The Sopranos,” “The Wire,” “Mad Men,” and “Breaking Bad.” But that age has now ended.

      Has it really ended though or are shows just greatly changing to cater more towards the younger audience?
