If you ask 100 different people, you’ll get 100 different answers, but what people mean by “globalization” is often confused or confusing. No worries though, here you’ll get a funny answer that is easy to understand and that will definitely make you laugh.
The answer will be: Tragically, Princess Diana’s death?
You’ll probably wonder why, so the explanation goes as follows:
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 whiskey, followed closely by Italian paparazzi on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by an American, using Bill Gate’s technology and you are 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 illegal Mexican workers…
And that is what Globalization is.
Or if the above was difficult to take in, Globalization is also like being British. Since it’s all about driving a German car to an Irish pub for Belgian beer; then getting back home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and to watch American shows on Japanese TV.
And if you have another more suitable definition, and thus explanation of what globalization is, please let us know in the comments below….
