Globalization

Great question. I agree with the points mentioned above regarding the mass media's influence on the promotion of western culture and the role that education plays towards being able for one to identify for themselves the culture, values, and ideals that resonate most with themselves. I think that promoting globalization in terms of these wide spread values is possible, but would be especially difficult for those that do not have the means to see the pros and cons of western culture, such as people living in impoverished conditions where they have very little for themselves and look towards the culture of those in the capitalist west as people who can have everything. As well, these people who do not have the resources of those in the west may not have access to computers, books, and an education that challenges western culture and points out the flaws it has.
