What changes have you seen in your life, that are attributable to globalization?
Doesn’t need to be formal just answer the questions.

Q1: A philosopher once observed, “A fish doesn’t know the ocean is blue.” Most of us don’t realize the extent to which we live in a “global village.” Let’s step back and try to achieve that realization.

When your Course Developer was a boy, the only foreign car on the road was the VW Bug, and it was widely ridiculed. It was small, uncomfortable, and at a time when gasoline cost $0.17 per gallon, fuel efficiency was not an issue. Today, most of the cars on the road are built by companies we’d never heard of a half-century ago; Toyota, Hyundai, Audi, and so forth. Back in the day, we’d never heard of tofu, sushi, or moo goo gai pan, and pizza was “a big city thing.” Flying to Europe as a long, bumpy ordeal, with refueling stops in Newfoundland and Ireland. And so forth.

What changes have you seen in your life, that are attributable to globalization? Don’t think strictly in terms of products; review the drivers of globalization covered in the background information, and consider all of them. Pick a major change, and discuss it.

This is not just a trip down memory lane. In this posting, as in other postings, you should shamelessly flaunt your detailed understanding of the material covered in this Module. References aren’t required, but you should at least mention the sources you’re using; i.e., “According to Dye and Stephenson, growth in global markets is a major aspect of globalization. We’ve seen that in the company I work for … “etc

Q2: Cultural differences don’t only exist across national boundaries. Important differences exist right here in the United States. We could name several of them, but let’s take a look at what Cohen et al. (1996) termed the “Southern Culture of Honor.”

These authors were curious about one regional difference. In some Southern and Western regions, merely insulting a man can be punishable by death. As one wag styled it, “In the South, ‘He done needed killin’ is a viable defense in a murder trial.”

Cohen et al. (1996) conducted four experiments. In one of them, an assistant called a series of male subjects “an a–hole” in a contrived situation that made the insult seem both real and plausible. Most subjects from the North laughed it off ; “Same to you, buddy.” Most of those from the South responded with various degrees of anger. In some cases, the experimenters had to intervene to save their assistant getting a black eye.
