"The negatives of communism is that the LG chocolate is not im communist places and that democrates are better than commuists. The communists are also not nice and very mean."
This is a stupid answer, and based on nothing but ignorant prejudice- how can anybody expect to be enlightened by THAT??!!
The negative aspects that are usually associated with Communism are that it disallows freedom of speech, expression and movement, that there is no freedom of the press, that free enterprise is disallowed, and that human rights are violated if any attempts are made to transgress this situation. But this is not always true.
It is indeed the case that most Communist societies did not (or do not) permit any alternative political parties or ideologies to exist. Free speech is severely restricted, dissent is tolerated only within a very narrow margin, and the media has to tow the Party line. It is also true that ownership of land or property in MOST cases is forbidden (although a person is allowed to possess furniture, personal belongings, a car, a small boat and other such things), and also that free enterprise is forbidden.
But there were (and to some extent, still are) as many varieties of Communism as there are varieties of Capitalism- it wasn't practiced in the same way everywhere, and there was huge variation in the extent to which the above negative points applied from country to country:
For example, in the USSR under Stalin, all of the above applied to the harshest, severest degree, with terrible penalties for those who incurred official disapproval- millions of people were executed, tortured or sent to labour camps for years for daring to speak out against the system even in the littlest way. Restrictions were carried over even into the world of art, design and literature, with many books, plays, works of art etc. banned for being 'decadent' or bourgeois', or else modified to suit official tastes. Religion was also outlawed, for the State was rigidly atheist. Later on, under Brezhnev and Gorbachev, things were a great deal better- there was much more freedom of movement, dissent was tolerated within limits, and freedom of artistic expression was much better. Although the USSR remained officially atheist, in practice the State turned a blind eye to religious worship provided it did not threaten the foundations of the Soviet Union. Official punishment for transgressing Party rules were also much more moderate, usually consisting of reprimands or moderate prison sentences- few people were actually executed for ideological dissention, unless they were guilty of something like serious espionage, or were planning an assassination, etc.
In Yugoslavia, Communism was always much more liberal than in the USSR. There was greater individual freedom, people were allowed to speak their minds more openly, and there was more room for dissention in the media. Citizens were even allowed to own their own homes, and to practice small-scale private enterprise by running their own shops and restaurants. Western tourists were encouraged to holiday there, Communist Party members were allowed to practice religion (so long as it didn't draw attention to them), and in all, it was a far more open society.
Modern-day China, on the other hand, compares very unfavourably to post-War China as it was up until the 1980s. Chinese Communism has always been guilty of dreadful human rights violations, with millions of people having been imprisoned or executed for challenging the system- but in the days of Chairman Mao, there was at least a 'plus' side to counter this, in that there was total redistribution of wealth, full employment, universal health care and housing, and education for all. Now, there isn't even this any more- China has embraced the West ECONOMICALLY, ushering in free-market Capitalism that has done away with much of the positive side of the Communist system, BUT at the same time has remained brutally oppressive as far as individual freedom and human rights are concerned. It's the worst of both worlds!!
So as you can see, the practice of Communism is immensely varied, and it's fundamental ideals cannot simply be written off as 'bad'. Whilst most people deplore the lack of personal freedoms and the appalling punishments of some Communist regimes, the idea of state ownership of land and property, as well as universal state-provided welfare and employment, still appeals to many.

What is globalization what are the positives and negatives?
Globalization is a term used to describe a political-economic trend in which nations and their economies have largely transitioned from being self-contained, self-sustaining states interacting mostly within their own borders and with neighboring countries, to becoming multinational economies in which nations are economically interconnected with each other through international trade across the globe. What the positive and negative aspects are is largely subjective. Generally, many people consider the effects of increased trade, increased diversity and the sense of solidarity of an international, global community to be positive. Some aspects that are usually considered negative might include outsourcing of jobs (due to the owners of the means of production being able to find cheaper labor and more capital-friendly modes of production in countries that have fewer or less restrictive labor laws and regulations), increased warfare over resources, production of waste in one country which dumps that waste in another country, and pollution from increased travel and transportation of goods using vehicles that burn fossil fuels and emit environmentally harmful carbon as a byproduct.
What are the positives and negatives of multiculturalism?
From this policy many creditable things have come to us. Cultures appreciate what the government has done for them. Since Canada is country of immigrants this policy has helped a lot of people out. Sikhs are allowed to wear their kirpans without worries. Muslim women can wear hijabs and not face racial comments. Kids can talk about their traditions with friends without having to face any mean comments. People can walk down the road in traditional clothing and feel safe for who they are. Multiculturalism strengthens connections with other countries by accepting their immigrants into our society. It gives us a taste of what others have to offer. As people come together different ideas are shared and others can learn things from cultures that can help make the community better. Some of us don't realize it but many foods they eat, or clothes they wear or even games they play can belong to another culture. Pizza for example is a food loved around Canada but it was made by the Italians. Noodles are made by the Chinese along with rice. Then you see how multiculturalism affects in negative ways. Since this policy allows you practice your culture people can go to excessive ways that harms the individual or society as a whole. An example would be honor killings. I hope you have heard of them but to refresh your memory these happen in Muslim cultures, if a female embarrasses the family in a way that might ruin their reputation such as adopting the western culture or not wearing the Hijab. In these situations the males will kill or break their bones. Other cultures think about themselves first (ethnocentrism) or think they are superior so they try teach their ways to other cultures in the form we know as assimilation. In more depth when the Europeans first came to Canada what did they try to do, assimilate the Indians to their way of life. My opinion is that history will repeat itself and even with this policy it is not enough. Even little kids are racist to their peers as they will discriminate them on the type of clothing or food they have. If some teenager brought something traditional to eat for lunch, his/her classmates will make fun of them because of who they are.
