Document Summary
Imbalance between group of haves and have nots: what is the nature of the balance between the two, globalization is about people pursuing particular interests for their own sake. Cultural hybridization: melting pot drawing on various social aspects, bringing them together and seeing what happens. Networks and flows that link: local-global/global-local, north, south, east, west. Integration of various social phenomena from various parts of the world. Do social facts precede processes of globalization or vice versa: sometimes they influence how globalization takes place, other times globalization affects the shaping of social facts.
