I'm not sure how I feel about the question of globalization. Here in America there is a large liberal trendiness to hate Wal-Mart. The main reason given is that they "buy a lot of stuff from China". Yet when I look at packaging I see that most televisions you can buy today say "Made in China" on the package. Just recently someone touted Philips Electronics as a shining example of home-grown business (in this case from The Netherlands). But guess what? "Made in China". Also look at the box a PS3 comes in: "May be made in Japan, Korea, Malaysia or China".

I looked at a couple different websites and found differing definitions of the term "Globalization", and I'm not sure who here is arguing for which term. It's like "Multiculturalism". The term gets a bad rap, but I like Italian, Mexican and Japanese food equally. I guess I'm just to dim to understand.
