Quick Answer
Increased free trade and communication between nations, along with increased access to technology, media, education, healthcare, consumer goods, and other resources are often considered advantages of globalization. Some disadvantages of globalization include exploitation of developing countries, cultural homogenization, and adverse effects on local economies and the environment. Globalization is a complex issue, and while some argue that it reduces global poverty, others argue that it actually increases wealth inequality worldwide.

Since people wrote mostly positive things, here are some negative things (playing devil's advocate).
1. Globalization can ruin the environment. Moving things from one area to another wastes oil, etc.
2. Globalization can ruin local economies. There is a movement that wants to buy local - especially organic foods.
3. Globalization can lead to hyper-specialization, which can be good, but also negative. There is something great about being a generalist. Also what if something goes wrong. To know things generally give an incredible perspective that specialists do not have.
4. Globalization can be driven by people with "know how" and power and they can systematically fleece the world.
