What is Globalization?

It was the anti-globalization movement that really put globalization on the map. As a word it has existed since the l 960s, but the protests against this allegedly new process, which its opponents condemn as a way of ordering people's lives, brought globalization out of the financial and academic worlds and into everyday current affairs.

In the late l980s and early l990s, the business model called the “globalized” financial market came to be seen as an entity that could have more than just an economic impact on the parts of the world It touched. Globalization came to be seen as more than simply a way of doing business, or running financial markets-it became a process. From then on the word took on a life of its own. So how does the globalized market work? It is modern communications that make it possible；for the British service sector to deal with its customers through a call centre in India, or for a sportswear（运动服）manufacturer to design its products in Europe, make them in south. east Asia and sell them in north America.

But this is where the anti—globalization side gets stuck in（关注）. If these practices replace domestic economic life with an economy that is heavily influenced or controlled from overseas. then the creation of a globalized economic model and the process of globalization can also be seen as a surrender of power to the corporations, or a means of keeping poorer nations in their place. Not everyone agrees that globalization is necessarily evil, or that globalized corporations are running the lives of inpiduals or are more powerful than nations. Some say that the spread of globalization, free markets and free trade into the developing world is the best way to beat poverty - the only problem is that free markets and free trade do not yet truly exist.

Globalization can be seen as a positive, negative or even marginal process. And regardless of whether it works for good or ill, globalization's exact meaning will continue to be the subject of debate among those who oppose, Support or simply observe it.

A New Citizenship Test

1 Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship（公民身份）exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services（US-CIS）. It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are l3 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.

2 “The goal is to make it more meaningful.” explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US-CIS. Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better “understanding and respect” for US civic（公民的）values, Gonzalez says.

3 The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a “shared commitment” from immigrants for their adopted country's “values”. In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. it involved watching a video showing nude（裸体的）women bathing at beaches and gay（同性恋的）men kissing in …… 此处隐藏：20396字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
