Yes, globalization is inevitable, but what kind? I would never deny anyone access to surgery, candybars, or Spidey. I hope individuals and local cultures realize the power they possess to offer and demand choice (as the markets in this global market culture)and get what they need and want. I agree that the linear evolution model, is way too simple- cultures are in constant slippery shift and what is new is many times, but not always best. Bigger isnt alway better. And I hope as an American, that we can have a bit more spidering of the wisdom from those yet to be heard. More information and broader experiences should result in more choice, opportunity,innovation, and joy- for everyone's culture(s). (adding po-mo touch - I promise not to spell my name in lowercase)
