Talking about 'stopping globalization' is unrealistic - and probably not what anti-globalization protesters actually want.

The benefits and consequences of globalization have a great deal to do with whether we're intelligent and thoughtful about how we approach globalization, or whether we're blindly accepting... or blindly resistant.

You can make the case that slacktivism is important because it makes people feel affiliated to a movement and be part of it, and talk about it.

On Twitter, if you want to quote someone else, you say, 'RT, re-tweet, that person's name, and then what they said before.' And it's a way of essentially saying, 'I'm not saying this, but my friend said this and I thought this was interesting.'

We have been talking about globalization for a long time. Actually, the word has been incorrect because only half of the world has been part of the globalization process. But in the last ten years, the other half -- China, India, the countries of the former Soviet block -- has joined the capitalist system. And I like to say globalization is going global.

The wider world is a click away, but whether we mean to or not, we're usually filtering it out.
