ARRESTED MOVEMENTS

In the article "Fences and Windows", the author Naomi Klein express her dissatisfaction with globalization when she saw fences and windows. The government of each country shouts loudly that it can ensure the investor's requirements, but it can't make people satisfied with their demands, such as medical treatment, housing, land and water.

Fence is a barrier seperating people from previously public resources, locking them away from much needed land and water, restricting their ability to move across borders. For example, paid use of education is an invisible fence, and it made millions of people couldn't have money to go to school. However, window is two spatial interface, and it symbolizes light and hope. On the other hand, it also implicates filter and separation, and it cuts landscapes, blocks sounds, temperature and ray. Few people noticed that window gives us one view of landscape, and we can't see the others. For instance, many people thought that globalization and free trade are a kind of good medicine for economy. However, Naomi Klein saw a huge counter shading under this phenomenon. Enterprises permeated all over the world, and created beautiful numbers increase by globalization. At its back, enterprises reduced the staff, transfered their property, gave poison to the environment, and exploited the emplyees.

Few people got all achievement from extensive transaction, and they could have ability to bribe politicians and made politicians enact hoggish policies for them. They pressurized government to reduce medical treatment, welfare benefits and basic education. As a result, many people lost their jobs, so they didn't have money for their housing. Wealthy got more tax-free policies to have quality living environment. Democratic State including Europe and America count on huge advantages of fund and technology, so they abducted WTO, IMF and the World Bank, and created advantaged unilateral trade for them, so this is the real situation of globalization.
