By the time you finishExploring Globalization,you will be in a betterposition to answer the key question for this course: To what extent should
we embrace globalization? As you work your way through the book, keepthis key question in mind as you think about the various ideas, points ofview, perspectives, and insights you encounter. They will help you formulatea response to this question.
CoverThe photograph on the front cover of Exploring Globalization shows agroup of people silhouetted against a stylized globe. Around the globe arebright, orbit lines but no space ship. This image symbolizes the conceptsbehind this textbook and course: people, global connections, and globalcommunication and transportation. Look carefully at the globe. Why doyou suppose the artist showed Europe and Asia rather than North andSouth America?
Globalization, as you will discover,is not something happening to otherpeople in other places. As the coverillustration suggests, it is happening toyou, here and now. As with any humanendeavour, globalization is made byeveryone, every day. Your decisions,actions, and involvement change the face
of globalization and its many effects onpeople everywhere. Every action, everydecision, no matter how small, changesglobalization. You shape the future, justas those who came before you shaped thepast.
