Globalization

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that countries cannot expect to live free from the influence of other populations around the globe; instead, a steady amalgamation of politics, economies, and cultures around the world is forcing resources, technologies, and people into an interdependent matrix. The author points out that the idea of global politics does not have universal appeal; in fact, the notion of interference in regional political matters often raises as much ire toward the interfering country as it has on the aggressive warring country. The paper relates that, as nations continue to attempt to exert influence on the religious governments in the Middle East, many practitioners of Islam find themselves awash in Western culture, which, coupled with the problems of poverty, repression, and standard of living in these regions, inevitably lead to conflict.

From the Paper:

"Because the world has a voracious appetite that shows no sign of relenting, it is extremely likely that the trend toward globalization of politics, economics and cultures will continue in the same direction. Notwithstanding the efforts of xenophobic nations and cultures, the desire and necessity for increased community and cooperation is essentially guaranteed. As technology further elevates impoverished countries, inhabitants of those parts of the world will surely begin seeking out additional exchanges as well. But this growth will not come without a price. Religious fanaticism will not likely die of natural causes and suspicion and mistrust will probably continue to be the emotions of introduction when two new peoples meet."
