What is globalisation?
A friend of mine received this via e-mail:
_In regards to the “Globalization Protests” going on this weekend in Washington DC……….
What is globalization?, one may ask.
Well, below here is probably the best example on the definition of globalization.
Question: What is the height of globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana’s death
Question: How come?
Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was high
on Scotch whiskey, followed closely by Italian paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles, treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines! And this is sent to
you by a Burmese, using Bill Gates’ technology which he stole from the Japanese.
And you are probably reading this on one of the IBM clones that use Taiwanese-made chips, and Korean made monitors, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a
Singapore plant, transported by lorries driven by Indians, hijacked by Indonesians and finally sold to you by Chinese men!
That, my friend, is GLOBILIZATION._
