In Response to Globalization - Global Issues, Local Arguments

After reading this section in the textbook, I found that the way we make our decisions based on our perception of globalization was very interesting. Everyone has a different stance on what they think globalization really means. Some argue that most problems in countries deal with setback in the global trade system in result of world poverty and hunger, but the more we utilize our resources effectively, we wouldn't have that problem. In doing so, economic and industrial growth would occur.  The other argument concerns people, institutions, and countries interfering with globalization. Barriers such as limitations and restrictions should be put to prevent the interference. What I don't understand is, aren't these two arguments along the same lines? Aren't they the same thing? I don't understand the difference.
