Options:

There is a consensus about the impact of globalisation and its effects.

It is argued that while many in the more privileged section may benefit from globalisation, the condition of a large section of the already excluded population worsens.

Both 1 and 2

None of the above

Correct Answer:

It is argued that while many in the more privileged section may benefit from globalisation, the condition of a large section of the already excluded population worsens.

Explanation:

The process globalisation is of great social significance. But its impact on different sections of society is very different. There are, therefore, sharply divided views about the impact of globalisation regarding its effect. Some believe that it is necessary to herald a better world. Others fear that the impact of globalisation on different sections of people is vastly different. They argue that while many in the more privileged section may benefit, the condition of a large section of the already excluded population worsens. There are yet others who argue that globalisation is not a new development at all.
