Problem:
Globalization refers to the relationships among countries around the world and their mutual interconnections with respect to issues of economic, social, cultural, political, and technological concern. Critically evaluate the statement that "health is a critical resource that is linked to the economic, social, cultural, political, and technological concerns associated with globalization." In what ways does the prevalence of a variety of infectious disease in various regions of the world, including developing countries, represent an economic concern for globalization? In what ways does the globalization of the economy represent a health concern for populations across the globe?
