My name is Lukasz Pienczykowski, and my name clearly presents that I came from another country. Lukasz is a Polish name that translates to Luke in English. I wish my last name translated into something shorted in English to make my life a little simpler. I major in Computer Informational systems which is also one of my best interests. In addition, to informational systems I’m interested in healthy living, music and history. Depending on time allowance I enjoy combining some of my interests. My favorite book is Robinson Crusoe which I read when I was a kid but I still consider it as one of my best readings.
I decided to quote the following from Jay’s text:
“Furthermore, in my view the debate over whether globalization is an economic or cultural phenomenon is based on a false distinction. We cannot neatly separate Economics from cultural commodities….”
I was always under the assumption that the two are independent of each other. The author provides some brief explanation as to his standing in the matter but I find it confusing to have the two mixed. I never researched this subject but perhaps reading the book will help me understand his point.
One response so far
Great question / point! He is indeed arguing that they are interrelated and this is something we can discuss / debate in class.
