Document Summary

Best example of globalization: idea of a shrinking glove; mcdonald; nato; the death of lady. Globalization is a process, but thinking of it as a process has some issues. 1950s/60s; take-off model: ww2 ends in 1945, us sets up martial fund to fund the rebuilding of europe. Europe back on it"s feet around 1952, rosotw figures that if we can fix europe in. 7 years, then we should be able to solve world poverty. He sets out model that says that funding needs to be given to other countries and that other countries can follow the model of success of the us. Those who follows rostow"s model seems to have a pretty strong economy. Us was not colonized; south america + african have all be colonized. Suggest that we change global economic structure. Mcluhan talks about a global village; technology would bring everyone together again. ^^then he talked about a global theatre (of scandal)
