for/against. why/why not? actually I've just began my research for this topic, I'd like to get some sort of general feedback from an international perspective (but my paper is only from a canadian POV). what better way than to ask XLT.? |

Against general globalisation, as the term tends to mean nothing more than Americanisation. There are a lot of cutures being diluted/destroyed by cheap and nasty alternatives. If it was just cultural exchange then I would be all for it as I love finding out how other people act socially, but as with anything someone or something starts to dominate at the detriment of others. In conclusion: I am for globalisation when it is accompanied by a mutual respect and embracing of others ways of thinking and acting. |

definately. I see that with gloablization, there has to be some sort of 'standard' to live by, and for all intents and purposes, seems to be rearing towards first world countries, big buisness and communications. from a cultural view, i think that globalization would be most devastating. How fast could any country adapt to such social change? the meaning in itself comes in many shades of grey, bias screams from each definition. I trust that, without these stigmas, I can come up with some sort of good thesis and accurate information. |

I think the major drive in globalisation at the moment is through technology. China are going to be the biggest indication of western influence as their markets begin to open up with the massive economic growth they are experiencing (6 times faster than post war Japan). |

The thing you have to consider with globalisation is that there will always be someone willing to work for a dollar less. Which opens the doors for exploitation and unless there is some controll implimented this will go on. The plus side to exploititive pay is that in the Western world things will continue to be more affordable/cheaper. A good example for a positive spin on globalisation is China where at the moment they are going through a manufacturing boom. Chinese imports are the one of the largest importers to the US second only to Canada. Chinas demand for raw materials have forced up the price, for example steel demand is at an all time high having a knock on efect for smaller steel producing countries such as Korea. |

I think it's possible that globalization isn't even as "global" as it may be try to be percieved. I mean, a country has the most exports/imports in the world, therefore, being "globalized". What if this country only takes exports/imports from one country? that's not "global" I believe that its WHO the country is interacting that matters, there has to be a starting point from which the resources are coming from. stats are shit, it's not the interaction itself that should be taken into consideration, but WHO is involved. It will never work in my mind. international conflict and the HUGE amount of diversity we have on the planet ultimately sends countries "globalizing" together against another. So what should we do? Eliminate the threat and save the like-minded cultures? This is true tyranny. The very definition of ethnic cleansing. |

I see many people who have been fucked in the ass by America's cultural virus every day. It makes me sick. |

america is so influential right now because we have the biggest economy. but, in a truely global economy things would equal out a lot, and other smaller countries would gain influence... at least, that's the way i think it would work. but, i don't care really. humanity is the virus. the sooner we snuff ourselves out the sooner the deer and dolphins can romp around without worrying about us. |
