Globalization 2

Here in the States, we here a lot of fulminations about “globalization” from a States-centric perspective (“our jobs went where?”).

That is not the only perspective. Pamposh Dhar of the Phillipines asks some good questions:

First off, let me say that I am not against globalization. I believe that all human being are connected (or “interconnected,” as Buddhists say), so how could I be against a connected world? I am not.

(snip)

Moving on to the second part of my question: why does the concept of globalization leave our hearts cold?

Follow the link to see how she struggles to answer them.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
