Document Summary
Social exchanges: throughout humanity there always has been, from the darker times to now but use to be smaller scale. Interdependence: rely on one another, different areas specialize and help each other. Everything is sped up so fast, things can change overnight. We developed technology that could do so because we were interested in doing it. Allows the ordinary person to have a say, one person to exert greater influence than they would have been able to. We"re so technologically advanced we could destroy the world. We shouldn"t focus only on the technological aspects. We need to think about historic aspects: trade routes crossing the ocean. They give all the power/authority to the nation, ignore the fact that other cultures give influence. If we live in such a globalized world why are the other cultures throughout the world not reaping the benefits of globalization. In a way we agree, but not fully.
