<P> A 2005 study by Peer Fiss and Paul Hirsch found a large increase in articles negative towards globalization in the years prior . In 1998, negative articles outpaced positive articles by two to one . The number of newspaper articles showing negative framing rose from about 10% of the total in 1991 to 55% of the total in 1999 . This increase occurred during a period when the total number of articles concerning globalization nearly doubled . </P> <P> A number of international polls have shown that residents of Africa and Asia tend to view globalization more favorably than residents of Europe or North America . In Africa, a Gallup poll found that 70% of the population views globalization favorably . The BBC found that 50% of people believed that economic globalization was proceeding too rapidly, while 35% believed it was proceeding too slowly . </P> <P> In 2004, Philip Gordon stated that "a clear majority of Europeans believe that globalization can enrich their lives, while believing the European Union can help them take advantage of globalization's benefits while shielding them from its negative effects ." The main opposition consisted of socialists, environmental groups, and nationalists . Residents of the EU did not appear to feel threatened by globalization in 2004 . The EU job market was more stable and workers were less likely to accept wage / benefit cuts . Social spending was much higher than in the US . In a Danish poll in 2007, 76% responded that globalization is a good thing . </P> <P> Fiss, et al., surveyed US opinion in 1993 . Their survey showed that, in 1993, more than 40% of respondents were unfamiliar with the concept of globalization . When the survey was repeated in 1998, 89% of the respondents had a polarized view of globalization as being either good or bad . At the same time, discourse on globalization, which began in the financial community before shifting to a heated debate between proponents and disenchanted students and workers . Polarization increased dramatically after the establishment of the WTO in 1995; this event and subsequent protests led to a large - scale anti-globalization movement . Initially, college educated workers were likely to support globalization . Less educated workers, who were more likely to compete with immigrants and workers in developing countries, tended to be opponents . The situation changed after the financial crisis of 2007 . According to a 1997 poll 58% of college graduates said globalization had been good for the US . By 2008 only 33% thought it was good . Respondents with high school education also became more opposed . </P>
