Here is a definition of globalization I can understand and which I can relate.
Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death
Question: How come?
Answer: An English Princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashed in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish Whisky (check the botlle before you change the spelling),
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi on Japanese motorcycles and treated by an American Doctor using Brazilian medicines.
This is brought to you by a Greek using Bill Gates's technology, and you're probably reading this on your computer that uses Taiwanese chips and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangaladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.
This my friends is Globalization. Enjoy the weekend.
