Globalization

Nothing is good or bad, per se; the application of anything, or the perpetration of an act can have good or bad consequences.orichalcum said:
From your question, I presume you are talking about the loss of identities of countries as a result of the immediate access to information worldwide, and the fact that logically, at some time in the future you will only know in which part of the world you are in by having had to travel to that country.
The continental European countries are fast loosing individuality and cities everywhere are beginning to look much the same. Bad ? - no; sad ? -yes; if only because it takes the fun out of going to another country.
Having said that, travel now is not the most attractive of ideas - especially if you want to leave the UK using BA!:help:
The effects of globalization are far reaching and hugely complex. Some of them seem on the whole to be good, and some seem on the whole to be bad. I don't think you can reduce globalization to entirely one kind of effect or the other (to either good or bad). But I will say that globalization is one of the more momentous things happening in our time. If we don't destroy ourselves, future historians will be debating it forever.

Yeah its good and bad. I like to have people not lose their cultural identity, but the possibilities for good are huge. Unfortunately, mankind will still make war, so we can watch and see.
Biblicaly, its interesting, because the Bible speaks of the antichrist ruling the world as a one world government, one world economy, and a one world religion. The mark, perhaps may be a computer chip in your hand or forehead, without which one cannot buy or sell. Only now is that possible. Lots of other things seem to be leading us into that end time.
Personaly, I believe the church will be raptured before the Great 7 year Tribulation, so I have ever increasing hope as I see events unfold. That's just my view, and I am not gonna argue it, just share it. PEACE!

Neither. It is not a good or bad thing in itself.
It has allowed corporations to escape regulations and governance and frankly to urinate on the developing world. It has allowed currency speculators to endanger every economy on Earth, and helped Wall Street push their agenda onto the poor and weak. It also opens up huge potential for humans to globalise worker's rights, women's liberation, and democracy. The possiblity of a World Parliment is an exciting one I think.
