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").
