Globalization

GWOT - the Global War On Terrorism created the conditions that brought me to Kuwait. How does GWOT fit into globalization? Does it improve conditions for more people to be connected? To participate in economic globalization? Does it result in more people joining together to create a true global culture? Does it reduce or add barriers to cooperation by all the worlds people? I don't know but it is something I am thinking a lot about. Remember that saying from the 70's "act locally, think globally." Why is it that our news media (America's) focus on events in the connected countries and not on the disconnected conuntries? How can we bring all the worlds people together to solve world probems and create a reality of a future worth having, a better world where we can move from place to place and exchange ideas and goods?
