Hilarious Student Quotes -- POMO goes global
Hubby is currently tearing at his hair in another round of marking. I've disappeared to the PC to let him go to it. (Well that's my excuse).
One of his students provided the quote of the night.
"Despite its lack of definition, globalisation, has quite a great impact on society., the world and people as a whole. Its ramifications are widespread, and many of them are caused by the improper use of the term. In the 1990s, globalisation became associated with economics. There was a new globalisation that was driven by the capitalist economy. This as well as the fear of globalisation as inevitable and without any benefits changed the public's view of the world and led to many people taking action to prevent its continuation. The ways in which people have resisted globalisation are varied even without government support."
Tremendous concluding paragraph!!

At the global Headquarters?
In our globalized world, globolization has become a global issue, around the globe, globally, of course.

I don't think the paragraph says nothing. I think it says something not very well that is true, and includes some things that are not supported, not supportable, or false. Things in all three
