A definition of globalization that even I can understand and to which I now can relate:
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, riding in 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
a
Canadian,
using
American
Bill Gates' 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
truck drivers,
hijacked
by Indonesians,
unloaded by
Sicilian longshoremen,
and
trucked to you by Mexicans who
are in the US illegally
because
the current president,
born in Kenya
and educated as a muslim in Indonesia
refuses to enforce US law.
That, my friends, is Globalization !
