Question

Evaluate the claim that globalisation is likely to reduce prejudice.

Answer 1

There is two contradictory theory of the impact of globalization on prejudice. Civilizing/integrative globalization thesis believes that globalization should help to decrease prejudice by minimizing the gap between people. It opens the paradise for a global market, multicultural interaction, diversified racial, and linguist groups. Thay may be resulted in sustainable and equal contact between people to fill the social and economical gap.

On other hand, there is another theory fo "destructive globalization or globalization as a threat" that argues that the increasing amount of immigrants may increase prejudice as it will increase the competition among different social and economical groups.
