I wanted to add one more thing that we need to educate people on in school: sovereignty. We touch on it a bit with the concept of my rights end where they infringe on your rights, but Americans seem to think that only applies to other individual Americans in select settings and and not understand how the concept applies to society at large. If Americans understood the concept of sovereignty, we would not stand by and allow wars of regime change. There is no way to morally justify bombing or starvation sanctions because we don't like the way another group has chosen to rule over themselves. Those nations are sovereign and can do whatever they want as long as the people within the nation allow it.

That is a noble creed, but how would that apply to global corporations which defy the legalities and culture of one country? Some countries wouldn't care if they exploit their own people, and by buying their stuff would compromise local businesses which have to pay a living wage for their own workers. To be sure, nations would require to turn into protectionist autarky, which was the common economic policy long time ago. I might be exaggerating a lot, but this is just how it looks from my perspective.

I don't think your exaggerating. The reason globalism has succeeded in destroying the Earth is because companies that exploit people/resources simply move to whichever country will allow them to do the most exploiting for profit. The key is to get the people within each of these countries to stand up to the corruption and say "No more."
