Globalization is a term that has come to mean negative things, for some reason. I’m not exactly sure when it started, but sometime in the last ten years or so, a concept that used to be viewed as beneficial somehow came to represent oppression, confinement, intolerance of diversity, condensation of power and exploitation. While I think these horrendous realities are indeed of concern, and do occur within the context of human behavior around the world, I don’t think they are the result of global trends that are typically inferred by the word “globalization”.
