Globalization
Below is probably the best example of
globalization.
Question: What is the height of globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death
Question: Why?
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
Scottish whiskey, followed closely by
Japanese motorcycles, treated by an
American doctor, using
Brazilian medicines!
And this is sent to you by an
American, using
Bill Gates' technology
which he got from the
Japanese. And you are probably reading this on one of the IBM
clones that use
Philippine-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 a Chinese!
That's globalization
