Globalisation v Localisation

Globalization has taken place in most parts of the world and for example, almost every part of the world is in the know of the American US dollar. Even as it is not as worthy as the British pound, it is still accepted in most parts of the world. It is not just monetary matters that are changing, even culture is giving most countries a run for their money. Localization occurs in the recent case of the Koran burning in Gainesville, Florida. Religion has spread to other parts of the world and when two religions clash, it would not be pretty.

The Koran case occurred due to the fact that the 911 incident had happened.

As Friedman (1994) had argued in an article he wrote about India, "Ethnic violence is over control of space and has no connection to ethnic content of the body itself. The result is a boundary shift and the zones of ambivalence create violence between differential identities competing for space. The social other can exaggerate identity. Doubts over purity of categories mixed up by globalization is a different event. Social fragmentatio

n can be economic or cultural and can oppose globalization winners to losers."

I think that respect should be present when it comes to another social being. Just because someone doesn't agree with you on something, there is no need to punch him in the eye.
