Global Village Seminar Reflection

See handout linked above for instructions.  See below for seminar questions and Lori's choice.

Main Seminar Questions:

1. What is Ayer trying to say about identity in a globalized world?
2. Is this "new world order" he is describing ultimately positive or negative?  In what ways?
3. Can we have a globalized world without losing our unique national and cultural identities?
4. In a world where we are exposed to many different cultures, and where values are "traveling around the world by speed of fax," how are we supposed to determine our identity?
5. Do you think Pico Ayer's vision of the world is accurate?  This was written in 1993.  Has what he has predicted come to pass?  To what extent?
