'World Transformation and Lifestyle Change\r'

'Jen and I sat overmatch in the far corner of the dinner and began talking. each social occasion was going fine until our identify arrived. To my horror the New Jersey native, Jen, started to eat her spell of pizza pie with her hands. Now, you may be enquire what”s unseasonable with that? It is a crude site to walk into a pizza parlor and see everyone handling their food, precisely to an Argentine native similar myself anything else than a fork and knife would seem barbaric. Instances like this occur every day through show up the ball because of ethnical differences.\r\n some new(prenominal) straightfor state of ward example by Dean Barnlund, in conference in globular colonization is when former President Nixon and former electric chair Sato met to discuss a growing fuss between the two nations. Because of poor â€Å" orbicular communication” their words where miss under s withald and as a firmness of purpose a new wave of Words from germ Dean Barn lund, who expects that â€Å"as our human existence is alter our neighbors increasingly entrust be quite a atomic whose sustenance story styles contrast sharply with our own.\r\nBarnlund straitss come on that this transformation-a kind of â€Å"world” blender-through our newly acquired technologies, much(prenominal) as the internet, jet travel, low constitute phones, and the ncrease of study abroad programs allow for ruin us to a variety of cultures and ultimately win the world â€Å"shrink”. Mr. Barnlund seems to range a nearly positive involve astir(predicate) a b every last(predicate)-shaped community. I am led to believe this because his book, Communication in a Global Village, supplies us with the problems we will and have encountered, and offers us advice on how to deal with it.\r\nIt seems to me that Barnlund is non so ofttimes worried about the end result of worldwideism, but rather with the tensions involved in its creation. Signs of planetaryism be sprouting all somewhat us. A couple of months ago valet de chambre Cup 98 took place in France: A world soccer tournament in which al about all countries participated (about nose candy or more(prenominal)). The World Cup is the most watched neverthelesst in human muniment (La Blanc and Henshaw 2), and has served as a tool to touch base cultures together. Where else could one watch 11 Iranian men defeat 11 Americans with out a single act of bloody violence?\r\nThe World Cup ignites a flame brighter in patriotism than the Olympics, and exposes us to people from all around. When a surface bea (Holland) beats your maternal one (Argentina) passably (the blame always goes to the referee, a peculiarity all ountries agree in ? ), the perception proceeding the initial heart rupture inconvenience oneself is that of respect. What makes this tournament so salutary to the global village is that after you have undefiled cheering for your team, you olfaction in to others to carry your imagination. new(prenominal) events that will serve as a great spark for globalism are those such as the new Eurodollar.\r\nA prototype form of currency not but shows us that countries can agree on something, and are indeed dependant on each other, but will too help people spread more easily from country to country, ultimately breaking down cultural boundaries. One doesn”t have to look farther than the scope we stand in to see the effects that globalism would have on cultures.\r\nThe United States is a prime example of globalism. 1) By having so many different types of people we are influenced in varying ways such as in, sports, religion, bringing up, family, and in the business world. 2) Helps get a better general society, that has â€Å"global” social skills. ) Makes a community that represents all the ideals and ways of life. 4) Helps the speed and spread of technology. 2) a great deal times in a dread(a) attempt to preserve a cultu ral identity, countries become inclusive. Ex. The many years it took the U. S to accept any other sports obscure from Baseball, Hockey, Basketball, and American Football. 3) The insufficiency of seclusion will create generic art, music, and ideas. Back in time cultures such as the Incas and the Egyptians-because of isolation-were vastly different. I recently flipped my television to a Japanese station and saw a â€Å"Rock” band.\r\nNot that there is anything wrong with that but the distinction between cultures is fading. Another example in the music patience is how British music influences America. (Beatles, Radiohead, Prodigy, etc. ) I personally hold a bitter-sweet look into globalism. Since I am a growth of culture shock I feeling I have experienced it number one hand. I believe that globalism would be beneficial to humanity but it would ultimately make it a very bland world where everyone thinks the same way and does everything the same way, and existenceness an artist that”s the last thing I would want.\r\nGone will be the days of contrasts such as African art from Egyptian. Another thing that keeps me from being totally pro-globalist is that the education system in the U. S (one of the most crucial nations for globalism) does a very poor job educating its younker about anything but itself. Students are bombarded with U. S histories all throughout grade tame and high school with very little â€Å"world” education. This self- centered mentality is as well seen in our newspapers, where foreign affairs are only covered if they are straightway affecting us.\r\nIt seems we only hear about other nations when there is a war or we have sent them money. chess affording the sport section clearly shows the lack of international coverage. Newspapers in Europe and mho America not only place their sporting news, but those of other nations (including the American sports). I think it is a stria more important to know a little bit ab out other cultures than to have all the We already know the positive and negative results that globalism would have, however, the question system: is it really possible to achieve globalism?\r\nIn order to determine we must initiative clarify what is needed in order to achieve a â€Å"global hearty” community. In my previous paper, Loneliness: a national feeling? I wrote that â€Å"For the most part, good communities offer a enduring and trusting environment, where freedom of choice and recipe is encouraged. Little discrimination, support, protection, and success leading involvement, alike constitute good characteristics. ” The ey term is: expression. Every person must learn to accept, and if not possible, respect others forms of expression.\r\nObviously, we have not through with(p) a good job which is prove by our constant racial and sexual discriminations. In order for a Global Village to succeed, there are common chord points that must be focused on: techn ology, education, and arrangement. Technology has already reached a point where it is allowing people from across the world to mingle with no delay time. The world overall has had an increase in literacy, but even scholars are often ignorant of the â€Å"world” language. Schools and more importantly adults have to learn the responsibility and eliminate prejudice from our youths mind.\r\nAnd of course, education would prove useless unless we are understanding and have an open mind. Greed for power, the involuntariness to accept new ways of life (clinging to your roots), and the mentality that we are all â€Å"too different”, are the three chief(prenominal) killers of globalism. It is because of stubbornness and an immense greed that globalism has not already taken full effect. I believe that it is possible to achieve something stiff to globalism. My theory is hat in the emerging nations will unite because of political needs, divided wealth, and military allies.\r \nCountries in Europe and entropy America have already began to open up their borders. The result would be a couple of different communities. I am sure that a total global community is possible, but unless our planet is being jeopardized by alien beings I exceedingly doubt that we will ever abide by enough motivation. Globalism is definitely coming on headstrong with its good and bad points. But, then(prenominal) again, nothing good in life comes free of burdens and in the end it will be up to the people to nail down whether the sacrifices Barlund, Dean.\r\n'
