A Cockeyed But Penetrating Definition of GlobalizationYou may or may not agree, but what follows is a cockeyed but definitely penetrating definition of globalization. If you find it too tart, take it with a grain of salt. (That's mixing metaphors now, so better just read through the definition and make your critique later.)Question: What is the truest definition of “Globalization”?
Answer: Princess Diana’s death.
Question: How come?
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 drunk
on Scottish whisky,
(check the bottle before you change the spelling) followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an American doctor,
using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by an American,
using Bill Gate’s technology,
and you’re probably reading this on your computer,
that uses Taiwanese chips,
and a Korean monitor,
assembled by Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Indian lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegals...
That, my friends, is “Globalization”!
