Rolling Around

I was asked to read this book for university on my 2nd term for a subject called Cultural and Economic perspective of Globalization. This subject changed my way of thinking and reading because it introduced me to high level thinking, something I haven't been doing on high school. It's a great book to understand politics and how the world has changed beyond left and right (a brain pattern we all still have in our minds) and how societies are changing from a nation-state organization to what was latter labeled tribes (term used tby the authors of Funky Business in 1999) . It's a great book to understand globalization and the impact beyond business and education.

Currently we are well aware of how globalization has changed our life from different perspectives: business, technological, cultural. Giddens adds all  this up to show us a broader change on how the world is organized and what the future will be. For example, when will the nation-state become less important and boarders will be abolished. It surely is nearer than far away since we now define ourselves as many other things than rather by our nationalities. Giddens is an authority in this kind of matters as he is the Director of the London  School of Economics and a former advisor of president Clinton and Prime Minister Blair.

The most interesting perspective goes into the new patterns that will define us one being religion that we seem to forget, but that still has lot's of power in other parts of the world and in small communities in the western world as well.
