Agree or disagree: Multinational corporations have become too powerful. 

Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, their impact has become too great nowadays. Now let me explain the details.     

First, globalization allows multinational corporations to act outside of national laws and ethical standards. As a result, they can affect many governments through lobbying, leading to some questionable political decision-making. For example, American oil majors have been obstructing efforts to combat climate change.     

Next, I understand some may argue that multinationals’ activities improve the global economy. But on the contrary, multinationals have promoted destructive globalization, creating wealth gap. So, as they have taken over the global market, many small businesses have gone bankrupt, resulting in job losses across the world.     

Therefore, I agree with what the topic suggests and believe that multinationals have become too powerful today. On this point, the UN Sustainable Development Goals have listed “promoting economic growth in all countries,” as one of their key challenges. So, we should monitor them to achieve harmonious and well-balanced development across the world. Thank you for your attention. [180 Words Type-K]
