Globalization is an occurrence that has changed the world‚ along with its economies. For without it where would we be in today’s society? As I was reading both articles I had difficulty getting the “world has been flattened”metaphor out of my thought process. Afraid I might be bias on the idea that Globalization is the better option no matter what I set out to truly surmise what both writers believed.
