Abstract
There is no such thing as globalization in the world today. What we have is Westernization in general, and Americanization in particular. By “globalization”, and I like the word, I would mean a world where both genders, all three generations, all races, all classes, all nations and all states would pull together for the sake of livelihood and dignity for all. The only organization that could be a vehicle for such endeavors would be the United Nations. But the UN is being crippled, particularly by the vehicle for the key project: Americanization.
