Finally, a definition of globalization

 

I can understand and to which

I can relate:

 

 

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?

 

 

 

Answer: Princess Diana's death.

 

 

Question: How come?

 

 

 

Answer:

 

 

An English princess with

 

 

an Egyptian boyfriend

 

 

crashes in a French

 

 

tunnel, driving a

 

 

German car

 

 

with a Dutch engine,

 

 

driven by a Belgian

 

 

who was drunk

 

 

on Scottish whisky,

 

 

(check the bottle before you change the spelling),

 

 

followed closely by

 

 

Italian Paparazzi,

 

 

on Japanese motorcycles;

 

 

treated by an American doctor, using

 

 

Brazilian medicines.

 

 

 

 

 

This is sent to you by

 

 

a Canadian,

 

 

using Bill Gates's technology,

 

 

and you're probably reading this on your computer,

 

 

that uses Taiwanese

 

 

chips, and a

 

 

Korean monitor,

 

 

assembled by

 

 

Bangladeshi workers

 

 

in a Singapore plant,

 

 

transported by Indian

 

 

lorry-drivers,

 

 

hijacked by Indonesians,

 

 

unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,

 

 

and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That, my friends, is Globalization!

Actually, I quite liked this one from the Bangkok Post technology section earlier this year:

 

If you still are floundering around looking for a good definition and example of globalisation for the exam, try this: A hacker in China stole credit and debit card information from English motorists filling up at the American-owned Jet station; his associates cloned the cards and used them to take funds from ATMs in Bangkok and in Sri Lanka on the European New Year's Eve.
