In light of today's lesson I couldn't help bu think of my Honors English class that was all about Globalization. I couldn't help think back then that it was a natural reaction of "the internet" and that as long as we seek for instant knowledge we also need instant context... We NEED that. And in doing so we need to know other cultures... In doing that we make "friends" (basically really good business partners - enemies make for the best business partners or "friends").
So, I think that we need to stop fighting it. As things change, things change. The way to win in the change game is to change first so that you get to be the influential movement. Here's a decent video about what Globalization is... it is a somewhat separate topic from Future Shock.uture Shock.
This is another video about how globalization is being viewed from a group of "english as a second language" students! It's a perfect example of how globalization and "learning outside of the classroom" can be good - if we embrace it.
