Talk:Society and Globalization

The text is really interesting, even working "methodologically" analyzing the term "Globalization". My only remark - it starts with all of the social problems and finish with only one - how not to feel quilty as a winner of globalisation?

You could write something as an interface - winners obviously have some political power or instruments, so maybe your "behaviorist" solution would have limited impact on the state of affairs (or document the opposit). It is more the way how to live honestly within all these processess. Then you might mention some psychological features connected to the problem.

Dear Julia:)

First I want to say this is a very good paper! There are many positive aspects to emphasize:

Your citation is excellent! The text is fluently readable without the quotations interrupting the text as is could happen sometimes. You have inserted the quotations in the text well. I also liked that you introduced the authors you have cited in your introduction. You wrote which articles you used for your essay and you gave information about their content. In the last paragraph you posed interesting questions which you have tried to answer in your essay. Also the introduction to your main part is very good. The question So Individual means –what? makes the reader curious of the following lines.

Another very good aspect is the way you explain ideas of other authors, as Beck’s “Globality” and “Globalization” or Habermas’ point of view considering the welfare state. You cited many different authors and made their ideas clear. I also liked the subject of your essay. We are the society, and we are part of the globalization process. Nobody can refuse it so it’s an important topic for everyone.

To finish my laud I want to say that I liked that you gave good and current examples :) Your end of the paper was really good: Ending with a quotation is always a good and interesting ending I think. The question is not only how to live but the right way to live – that is a good sentence everyone should think about for himself or herself.
