I need examples that show that globalization is an uneven process from the book, A Long Way Gone.I need 3 examples, thinking of examples that...

In my mind, I think that the plight of child soldiers in
Sierra Leone, or anywhere, is probably some of the most convincing evidence that
globalization is uneven.  The information superhighway as well as technological advances
might run through some of these nations, but little in way of actual change flows along
with it. I think that the argument that globalization in economies will invariably pull
all of the world with it can be lacking in many ways.  This would be one of those ways. 
If anything, globalization has found a way to mask the fact that there are nations that
have resisted it, clinging to ancient blood feuds or seeking to expand their own power
regardless of what others might wish to do.  Globalization has not reached these areas,
as economic prosperity is severely retarded in these areas.  Give the fact that
globalization is becoming worldwide, it is not reaching these areas, making it an uneven
process.  Beah's narrative brings to light that until all areas of the world are able to
be privy to the advantages of globalization, it will be, at its best, an uneven
process.  At its worst, it will be no different than the demonstration of wealth that
roots itself as a battle between those that have wealth and those who lack it and a
covering term for businesses to consolidate wealth in more places and exclude other
domains.
