1,900 words (approx. 7.6 pages) | 1 source | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper examines the book, The Lexus and the Olive Tree by Thomas L. Friedman. This book explores the quality of life in the age of globalization, where Friedman presents the tensions of a comfortable life filled with luxury items - represented by his automobile, a Lexus - against the universal desire for tradition and cultural security, as represented by the olive tree. The Lexus and the Olive Tree serves to combine these two goals in a manner that allows the reader to view both perspectives, as well as presenting a potentially successful combination of both the life of luxury and the life of culture and tradition.
