Having an understanding wouldn't necessarily imply acceptance or tolerance, but good communication is certainly an important route towards better understanding
I hold the view that, communication is everything and is everywhere, for that reason it has many meanings and can be represented in many ways could be through boby movements, attitudes infact our intonation could transmit a message. Therefore the reason I believe this is be aware how we use our words, the way how we express ourselves to have a successful communication and be understood.
Well said Peter. Looking back 20 years, some of this was taught in international business courses. It's important to distinguish between high and low context cultures. If we can understand the nuances and idiosyncrasies of others we can be more efficient communicators and increase the probability of a successful exchange.
@@joshmd5905 omg pls help me on my assignment lol can u explain the differences about a globalist, transformationalist and the traditional perspective?
This speaker was ahead of the times. Some countries now crawl away from globalisation, to protect their own interests, after realising they can't compete economically or technologically on a level playing field.
if everyone acts the same, looks the same, talks the same, and all art has the same philosophy, everyone thinks alike and acts alike, and all cultures are melded together, then the world will no longer be worth living in.
if everyone acts NOT the same, looks NOT the same, talks NOT the same, and all art has NOT the same philosophy, everyone thinks NOT alike and acts NOT alike, and all cultures are NOT melded together, then the world will DIE IN WAR.
That wasn't really his point. If we understand that people are programmed differently, we may anticipate their behaviour better, and be more open-minded when we meet people. Of course we are different, but we are different in the way we approach the same problems in life. He was really making the point that the term "global village" is false due to our many differences.
Maybe, but there shouldn't be borders and division. That's an idiotic idea. The world should be multicultural for sure, but not with some man-made nations and borders that tell you which culture to adopt. A democratic world government is the best solution.
saw this yet again, after so many viewings, I keep being impressed. Well spoken, Peter. Very well spoken. Patrick Ploum, a fellow international from the French Lycee
+Kadeem Daniels "the myth of globalization" is a fitting title since he pointed out that the stigma we think of that globalization is something that creates a cultural singularity (or assimilate diversity into a single global construct) is wrong and that we have our own identity, our own culture that may differ from others. :)
It is so easy to educate people about others culture in this internet era , but it is hard to make people living together without cultural competition to become dominant in the area which created a conflict in the future.
I agree, since today learning new cultures is easier because there are more technological tools that allow you to investigate and get to know different cultures, but it also has a deficit, since not all people have the same capacity for understanding and understanding to acquire a new culture. It is a bit complex to get people who live together without cultural competence to become dominant in solving a problem in the future.
I would recommend reading The Silent Language by Edward Hall (1959) and the Hidden Dimension (1966). Both books explore the cultural differences discussed here. These should be compulsory reading for anyone dealing with people -- everyone.
My take on this was to recognize the different cultures that exist and by understanding them you can improve your ability to communicate. Through his travels he gained an appreciation for the diversity and used these experiences to enrich his own outlook. Judging by some of the hostile comments, I don't see how anybody could have twisted it into some kind of insidious plot to dismantle your own culture and promote sameness!! Perhaps I don't understand this culture very well either because some people automatically draw false conclusions when certain words pop up and rather than listen to what the speaker is trying to convey. I don't support the globalisation agenda at all and I didn't think he was promoting it either!
I kind of agree with you, even though that he is only sharing what he thinks and what he learned, the ability to recognize that all of us are different and that not everyone is in the same culture is not so easy. As he said, we interpret subjectively, giving a lot of different opinions. For me, he is not saying that we all are the same, he is definitely not looking for sameness, he's just pointing out how easily is for us to misunderstood the message, giving a lot of examples of what happened to him. But, giving conclusions before time could end up in a wrong idea. To conclude, he said that as we are not face to face is so easy to get a wrong idea.
I agree with you. I think that understanding how the world is full of different points of view and different personalities avoids stereotypes and lets us be ourselves. Furthermore, we need to go beyond and try to share and respect the values of others in this way communication will be possible because we are thinking in the otherness.
Cultural diffusion as an outcome of globalisation is indeed, in and of itself, a 'false friend', but globalisation is not defined entirely by the supposed interdependence of culture, it driven by trade that catalyses the interdependence and gradual homogeneity of economic and political policies and rules. Empathy and understanding of culture as a form of 'intelligence' may help to catalyse respect or mere tolerance, but we may not necessarily create that safer world without ethics, conscious capitalism, and an acceptance of diversity and differences.
The interdependence is rather overemphasised and the hegemonic inequalities of cultural intelligence is sadly still understated. Neo-Colonialism is a drug scam.
I totally agree with you, it is a good idea of the awareness of respect for all the cultures apart of ours, and that's the good part about globalization, embrace the diversity. But it is for sure that the identity is being lost in several countries due to the fact that for people it is more fashionable the culture and systems of other countries as well as the devalue of their languages, blaming that it would be better to be raised in a developed country where is spoken a more relevant language in the professional field.
A well delivered speech making some pertinent points in an amusing way. He seems to be preaching to the converted, though. He really needs to deliver it to other audiences around the world, from the cultures he cites, perhaps Afghanistan, Syria, Morocco, Japan, China. I wonder if the reaction will be as favourable as here before a Western audience. There's little point in understanding and accepting the other if the other doesn't understand and accept you. For respect to have value it needs to be mutual.
Lol finland giving that silent treatment... Peter seems a smart guy, he makes a good point about misinterpretations and nuances of individual and cultural context.
Does today's trajectory of increasing connectedness lead towards the end of cultural diversity? Is a global mono-culture desirable, considering what we know about monopolies?
Ignorance and emphasis on differences breeds fear and hate. History has proven that. I'm not saying conflicts wouldn't exist, but they'd probably reduced a lot.
Damn whatever he says is totally relatable, I support his conviction for the need of cultural intelligence in our education systems. I myself had questions about different cultures and behaviors especially after joining an international school in another country.
Misleading title. The video should be called something like "the myth of cultural globalisation", as it doesn't focus on globalisation as a whole, but only on the cultural-communication aspect
He doesn’t mention anything about the economic aspect of globalization. Which should be the main aspect of globalization. Many benefit greatly from economic globalization especially developing countries. I feel as though cultural intelligence can go hand in hand with globalization. Culture intelligence can help lubricate globalization further.
Exactly. I'm disappointed that he's only speaking about culture. Important yes, but globalisation in terms of one global economy is also very important.
The English language may be the glue that binds us all together within this Global Village we call Earth but am I happy to see that wherever you go you are still surprised, amazed or even disappointed by the many cultural differences that make us unique and, therefore, makes our global journeys much more interesting and exciting.
Very few actually those numbers of how many people know English is false majority of the world doesnt know english its quite eurocentric to say english of all languages will be what binds us. It isnt.
The thing that binds us is that we're all humans and have difference and dont need to be similar culturally because we are all related biologically we are already binded together no matter how culturally different we are
@@ishrendon6435 I meant English is the world's lingua franca. In the past we had others, not globally but regionally: Latin, Arabic, Swahili, for instance. In the future, who knows: Mandarin, perhaps? I have the advantage of speaking the 5th most spoken language in the world as native tongue, Portuguese. I can understand Spanish, mainly in its written form, Italian and I can speak and write German, French and, of course, English as well. If I travel all around the Americas, in big swaths of Africa and in many countries of Europe and Asia I won't have much difficulty in being able to communicate. And that is an obvious plus in the global village that our planet is today. But in no way did I mean that any language is better than or superior to any other.
I agree with the fact that the English language could be applied throughout the world because it would facilitate communication between people from different regions, but it is these differences between languages and cultures that enrich the language the most and, as explained in the video, it cannot to make a global village but that there are small villages in a world and each one of them enriches the language
"Do you want to go or don't you want to go"? This just seems to me to be a lack of common sense. So you hail a cab, get in, ask if he can take you somewhere, his answer should have just been "yes, of course". No. It seems to me we are making up excuses for bad attitudes.
This is an inspiring work of creativity; reminiscent of a book that inspired with its creative narrative. "Rising From Within: Unlocking Your Innate Power to Conquer Adversity" by Vincent Starling
Absolutely loved this video. I definitely agree with him on the teaching of cultural intelligence in schools. We should teach our kids (the future) that there are people that even though may look different from you and I, still deserve respect and and to be treated like human beings. With all of the attention being placed first on Mexican immigrants and now on the whole of the Muslim world by people like Mr. Trump on such a negative context it is easy to see why as a society it is necessary to move to a more educated and open minded future. Alex Simo CCBC.
Yes I think the same thing. Well said. I would say that cultural intelligence is the key to everything. If we learn cultural intelligence, maybe there will be no that much of problems inside the relationships?
I agree with you Paul, it is necessary to understan how the culture affect us at the moment to be clear to others one, in linguistic and all the branches of this topic study the language as part of our identity and we need to put it in practice to communicate with foreing people, and be curious about give us a respectful and a real inclusive mind.
To ignore facts based on presumption for the sake of an argument of a philosophical, paradoxical expression is to postpone a Hurricane in its trajectory. It’s an imvicil preposition. Entertaining - yes. Educational-yes. Resourceful-no.
Exactly, these same elite groups probably have ties to this organization and keep then silent on certain issues. Think tanks like the tavistock and other Godless insane organizations use high level psychology and mind control to the detriment of society.
we can have different cultures and still be a global human race. i think thats all we need is just for everyone to acknowledge that were all humans, and drop the toxic behavior we call patriotism. Its like were too proud to admit that were all the same species. its like: yeah im a human, but im a human from THIS PLACE, not just any old human, im special, my people are special in ways that the rest of you are not. and i take pride in the generations of inbreeding which have lead to the non diverse genetic make up of my people.... even science tells us this way of thinking is detrimental, the simple fact that genetic diversity leads to healthier offspring and genetic similarity leads to birth defects should tell us something. we may do certain things slightly differently than eachother, however there are even more things that are identical in all of us, thus making very many similar things fall within our best interest.
In my point of view, this is not a valid argument against globalism or globalisation. Is all about multiculturalism, and it works well in order to explain how people preserve their cultural identities. In a global perspecive, you still keep your "village" values, but recognize that the world needs a new order to solve some problems and issues, and the countries not have the autonomy and power to do this by themselves.
Not that hard to predict the internet when Paul Baran had already researched it in 1962 "On Distributed Communications Networks". In 1969 ARPA, before it became DARPA, utilized his research to create ARPANet.
As much as he has some nuggets of value, it also reveals how disconnected he is from the new media age. He talked of telephone calls. I can count how many time I make calls. It usually is texts or messaging. He mentioned internet dating. Has he heard the concept of "booty call"? Dinner is not needed. He also didnt take into account Westernization. Being on Twitter is a classic example. Folks can live tweet to a event, and everyone worldwide is hashtagging to the event and making commentary. If that isnt a global village, I'm not sure what is. Clearly, he is from an older generation and hasnt crossed over into embracing the new digital means of communication that may not be intimate, but is a form of communication many millennials have settled into and made a way of life. And there is a thriving marketbase only accessible by adopting these new media methods of commuication
Peter Alfandary was doing just fine from paradoxes to dilemmas but his solution is off base. one cannot solve cultural issues in cyber space. They can only be solved in real life out there among humans
Dear Mr Alfandary, Thank you for your thoughts on cross-cultural awareness. I am myself of different nationalities + have lived in about a dozen countries throughout the world so I can absolutely relate to what you said. But my writing to you today - and I hope you'll get, i.e. read, my message - has a different purpose : my grandmother's family name was "Walfandery" and we never knew where the name comes from (she was Argentinian). As I believe Alfandary and Walfandery to share the same roots, I would much appreciate "que vous éclairiez ma lanterne" (don't know the equivalent in English). Un grand merci d'avance et bonne continuation!

A simple way of explaining it would be "its all about the meaning" metaphors are in all cultures and there are metaphors within metaphors. "Its all about meaning" What do you mean?
I don't think you can make world safer place with all cultures - it will be to naive to think so Understanding the other culture is nice but no everybody want to give up their own culture Globalisation isn't just positive think Diverse world will end up and all differences too if people are not going to keep their cultures alive We should celebrate diversity and not killing it
Globalization doesn't mean killing the diversity ,it actually means spreading the diversity ,we all eat pizza ,using phones ,driving cars ,knowing that the earth is not flat ,having watches ,knowing more than 1 languages ,globalism is about sharing the diversity ,and enjoying the best things humanity can produce...
How to avoid the crisis of unemployment? Progress makes the most of the manufacturing and service jobs redundant. This creates an economic paradox. The model that exists is salary retaliation, usually payment for work time. Creating surplus jobs to support citizens in order them to have the means to consume. This situation cannot exist anymore in reality created. This causes unnecessary actions for a consumer in order to get what he needs. The way to keep this current economy is division of the fixed salary to unemployed. Basic income for every citizen who does not works. This will allow the rationalization of big companies and offices. Investing in mechanization and a digitization of all areas will allow us soon to release the majority of the jobs redundant workers. Work required now is primarily technologically oriented sustainability and efficiency of the methods of production and services. The rest of the population can engage in thinking, creativity and life. International tax laws will allow unified calculated corporate taxation. This will make order in sources of state revenue and will allow the stable financing of basic income. It would stabilize the economy and will maintain its existence in the modern era. basic income will give the ability to a lot of people to consume. it will rise the small business income. It will raise the tax income that will cover the government and state spending.
What is war? The financial inequality between the ruling class and the people create consistent tension. The ruling classes as kings or dictators see country they ruled as they owned possession. The divide of the earth territory between different countries that see them self as the owners of the land, compete among themselves. The people have been used as workers or soldiers of the ruling class in they competition with other rulers. In the modern times we live the life of the simple worker or soldier considered as a value by the society. But some dictators still see in the simple people only they possession and don’t see they life as a value more than the value of his other possessions. It a problem that causes dissonance in the life of individuals that see himself as a free person but still must obey to a ruler that think he possess him. In order to keep the people in the possession, the ruling class uses manipulations as patriotism ideas. Patriotism is the feeling created in people that believe that they belong to a country united by the leader for some higher goal, usually war against other country or defense from other countries. This manipulation causes people to obey to any demands of the ruler because patriot see himself as a soldier in the army of the ruler and must prove his loyalty by blind obedience. Hate is another method of manipulation used by the ruling class to make people fight for their interests. The wealth of the ruling class gained from a systematic robbery of the working population and financing with this money the patriotic military that proved his loyalty to the leader. Therefore the working class feels betrayed and exploited by the ruling class and the criminal pseudo-patriots that robe them by laws and police force, the worker has to fund by taxes the working class pay. when people receive some freedom it difficult for the ruling class to convince them to Give up they freedom and pay more money to defense system of the ruling class. So the ruling class use conservatism and hate to convince people to work hard against their interest. The systematic incitement against some minorities and frightening of the population by imaginary treats as terror menace or violence of some minorities exaggerated by the ruling class as panic and major threat, that all people should afraid of. Frighten people obey to anything and even ask to restrict the freedom to save them from the exaggerated threats. When the ruling class feels they have enough power to conquer some land or destroy some potential competition they start wars. To make the war legitimate they cause provocation and blame it on the country they want to attack. It causes wars because the attacked country will defend itself and can even win the war. Wars useful as a reason, for rulers to increase weapon manufacturing, and give a huge budget to the military in excuse of potential war threat. It creates a social class of military personal that live from the working class taxes. And increase the inequality. They military people are more loyal and usually privileged so they fill the need of the ruler in loyal people to fight against the oppressed working class.
That great thing about globalization it's not one idea's . It's many idea's different ways of doing something is better than just thinking they're one way 🤔 so different idea's can be good for Economics and bad too . That problem and great thing about globalization 🤔
And now I wonder if Cultural intelligence is not compatible with Neo Culture Technology... I've never seen globalization as bad, but it does have some bad effects if some people are left out of it and there are people like that in the world.
Good talk, although I do not feel his argument refutes globalisation, certainly the 'global village', but that's not what this is about. The travel & cultures he's experienced has been enabled by globalisation, one could even argue speaking in English in non-english speaking countries is a by-product of globalisation. Understanding the nuances of different cultures again points to cultural globalisation - the whole idea that I can research and/or be educated on various cultures nuances & practices, connects cultures, thus again, resulting in a more interconnected world. All this, stemming - ironically - from economic globalisation. I think his argument comes from a sceptical realist p.o.v in regards to I.R theory. Ps, thumbs up for the silence joke... A real shame noone picked up on it!
I actually got the silence joke and found that to be pretty good. I agree with your points that he may have some wise thoughts, but he did not take any new, modern media into consideration. This made him look too old for the globalisation which he is part of but does not know of.
@@djmj12714 then why you accepted Santa Claus? Tell me ,why your country accepted this global tradition? Shoudn't you celebrate Jesus birth or something else?
Globalisation - you have a plot of land and work hard to cultivate it and transform it into a means of feeding your family. You are then forced to knock the fences down and other people come into your 'allotment' and help themselves and God help you if you complain.
That's totally fake ,learn what globalisation means please ,and tell me ,who dafuq learned you to work the field ? Are you eating only popcorn? Do all the fruits come from your country? Did your people invented the phone ,internet ,pizza ,Santa Claus,the car? The electricity? The aeroplanes? Vaccines? Advanced medicine? The wheel? The suits? The fotocamera? The movies?

"Do you want to go or don't you want to go"? This just seems to me to be a lack of common sense. So you hail a cab, get in, ask if he can take you somewhere, his answer should have just been "yes, of course". No. It seems to me we are making up excuses for bad attitudes.
We do need cultural education, but not based upon simplistic stereotypes. We need social and cultural anthropology in our daily lives.
This is an inspiring work of creativity; reminiscent of a book that inspired with its creative narrative. "Rising From Within: Unlocking Your Innate Power to Conquer Adversity" by Vincent Starling

Absolutely loved this video. I definitely agree with him on the teaching of cultural intelligence in schools. We should teach our kids (the future) that there are people that even though may look different from you and I, still deserve respect and and to be treated like human beings. With all of the attention being placed first on Mexican immigrants and now on the whole of the Muslim world by people like Mr. Trump on such a negative context it is easy to see why as a society it is necessary to move to a more educated and open minded future.

+Wascar Simo He's talking about tolerating and understanding other cultures. Not accepting illegal immigration.
Scott Aaron except some cultures should flat out not be tolerated. that's the problem

Very eloquent, thank you!
thank you for sharing sir.
Amazing presentation, so so so good!!!
Yes I think the same thing. Well said. I would say that cultural intelligence is the key to everything. If we learn cultural intelligence, maybe there will be no that much of problems inside the relationships?
I agree with you Paul, it is necessary to understan how the culture affect us at the moment to be clear to others one, in linguistic and all the branches of this topic study the language as part of our identity and we need to put it in practice to communicate with foreing people, and be curious about give us a respectful and a real inclusive mind.
True we need cultural harmony for peace.
Yes!!!!! Teach Culture everywhere!
Awesome, I really enjoyed it!
The conclusion is above rubies and thank you
To ignore facts based on presumption for the sake of an argument of a philosophical, paradoxical expression is to postpone a Hurricane in its trajectory. It’s an imvicil preposition. Entertaining - yes. Educational-yes. Resourceful-no.
Tavistock institute snd Frankfurt School are culturally savvy, and have used that knowledge to manipulate the masses.
Exactly, these same elite groups probably have ties to this organization and keep then silent on certain issues. Think tanks like the tavistock and other Godless insane organizations use high level psychology and mind control to the detriment of society.
we can have different cultures and still be a global human race. i think thats all we need is just for everyone to acknowledge that were all humans, and drop the toxic behavior we call patriotism. Its like were too proud to admit that were all the same species. its like: yeah im a human, but im a human from THIS PLACE, not just any old human, im special, my people are special in ways that the rest of you are not. and i take pride in the generations of inbreeding which have lead to the non diverse genetic make up of my people.... even science tells us this way of thinking is detrimental, the simple fact that genetic diversity leads to healthier offspring and genetic similarity leads to birth defects should tell us something. we may do certain things slightly differently than eachother, however there are even more things that are identical in all of us, thus making very many similar things fall within our best interest.
In my point of view, this is not a valid argument against globalism or globalisation. Is all about multiculturalism, and it works well in order to explain how people preserve their cultural identities. In a global perspecive, you still keep your "village" values, but recognize that the world needs a new order to solve some problems and issues, and the countries not have the autonomy and power to do this by themselves.
But what if we try to create a world consisting of a single identity (a citizen of the world) will we be able to overcome conflicts?
Not that hard to predict the internet when Paul Baran had already researched it in 1962 "On Distributed Communications Networks". In 1969 ARPA, before it became DARPA, utilized his research to create ARPANet.
As much as he has some nuggets of value, it also reveals how disconnected he is from the new media age. He talked of telephone calls. I can count how many time I make calls. It usually is texts or messaging. He mentioned internet dating. Has he heard the concept of "booty call"? Dinner is not needed. He also didnt take into account Westernization. Being on Twitter is a classic example. Folks can live tweet to a event, and everyone worldwide is hashtagging to the event and making commentary. If that isnt a global village, I'm not sure what is. Clearly, he is from an older generation and hasnt crossed over into embracing the new digital means of communication that may not be intimate, but is a form of communication many millennials have settled into and made a way of life. And there is a thriving marketbase only accessible by adopting these new media methods of commuication
Very ecellent speech with excellent mesage, which I wished to be.
Language records history, if a culture loses language, we lose this culture.
Nope ,nope ,history creates hatred and wars ,new cultures can arise all the time ,there will be always differences ,even in globalisation .
Peter Alfandary was doing just fine from paradoxes to dilemmas but his solution is off base. one cannot solve cultural issues in cyber space. They can only be solved in real life out there among humans
lmao says the one with a confederate flag as his profile pic. Man if you don't go sit down somewhere.
Bravo‼️
Really loved.
Dear Mr Alfandary, Thank you for your thoughts on cross-cultural awareness. I am myself of different nationalities + have lived in about a dozen countries throughout the world so I can absolutely relate to what you said.
But my writing to you today - and I hope you'll get, i.e. read, my message - has a different purpose : my grandmother's family name was "Walfandery" and we never knew where the name comes from (she was Argentinian). As I believe Alfandary and Walfandery to share the same roots, I would much appreciate "que vous éclairiez ma lanterne" (don't know the equivalent in English). Un grand merci d'avance et bonne continuation!
Very funny and real cultural differences in communication...I can relate too.
Cultural intelligence is something Muslim countries would not easily comprehend
richardb2837 Muslim countries are among the most ethnically diverse in the world. Wtf are you on about?
hi. came here to find anything progressive on this topic of muslim world and cultural diversity. would you in case have any advice - like some documentary or similiar? thanks. peace.

Can someone explain to me the first joke?
Very interesting information.
A simple way of explaining it would be "its all about the meaning" metaphors are in all cultures and there are metaphors within metaphors. "Its all about meaning" What do you mean?
Best keynote 🇹🇿🖐
I don't think you can make world safer place with all cultures - it will be to naive to think so
Understanding the other culture is nice but no everybody want to give up their own culture
Globalisation isn't just positive think
Diverse world will end up and all differences too if people are not going to keep their cultures alive
We should celebrate diversity and not killing it
Globalization doesn't mean killing the diversity ,it actually means spreading the diversity ,we all eat pizza ,using phones ,driving cars ,knowing that the earth is not flat ,having watches ,knowing more than 1 languages ,globalism is about sharing the diversity ,and enjoying the best things humanity can produce...
Globalism is the necessity of the world to find global solution by global dialog instead of war.
How to avoid the crisis of unemployment?
Progress makes the most of the manufacturing and service jobs redundant. This creates an economic paradox. The model that exists is salary retaliation, usually payment for work time. Creating surplus jobs to support citizens in order them to have the means to consume. This situation cannot exist anymore in reality created. This causes unnecessary actions for a consumer in order to get what he needs. The way to keep this current economy is division of the fixed salary to unemployed. Basic income for every citizen who does not works. This will allow the rationalization of big companies and offices. Investing in mechanization and a digitization of all areas will allow us soon to release the majority of the jobs redundant workers. Work required now is primarily technologically oriented sustainability and efficiency of the methods of production and services. The rest of the population can engage in thinking, creativity and life.
International tax laws will allow unified calculated corporate taxation. This will make order in sources of state revenue and will allow the stable financing of basic income. It would stabilize the economy and will maintain its existence in the modern era.
basic income will give the ability to a lot of people to consume. it will rise the small business income. It will raise the tax income that will cover the government and state spending.
axeleratar how has the turned out? there are wars all the time. and most of the time globalists are funding them. (Bush, Obama)
What is war?
The financial inequality between the ruling class and the people create consistent tension. The ruling classes as kings or dictators see country they ruled as they owned possession. The divide of the earth territory between different countries that see them self as the owners of the land, compete among themselves. The people have been used as workers or soldiers of the ruling class in they competition with other rulers. In the modern times we live the life of the simple worker or soldier considered as a value by the society. But some dictators still see in the simple people only they possession and don’t see they life as a value more than the value of his other possessions. It a problem that causes dissonance in the life of individuals that see himself as a free person but still must obey to a ruler that think he possess him.
In order to keep the people in the possession, the ruling class uses manipulations as patriotism ideas. Patriotism is the feeling created in people that believe that they belong to a country united by the leader for some higher goal, usually war against other country or defense from other countries. This manipulation causes people to obey to any demands of the ruler because patriot see himself as a soldier in the army of the ruler and must prove his loyalty by blind obedience.
Hate is another method of manipulation used by the ruling class to make people fight for their interests. The wealth of the ruling class gained from a systematic robbery of the working population and financing with this money the patriotic military that proved his loyalty to the leader. Therefore the working class feels betrayed and exploited by the ruling class and the criminal pseudo-patriots that robe them by laws and police force, the worker has to fund by taxes the working class pay.
when people receive some freedom it difficult for the ruling class to convince them to Give up they freedom and pay more money to defense system of the ruling class. So the ruling class use conservatism and hate to convince people to work hard against their interest. The systematic incitement against some minorities and frightening of the population by imaginary treats as terror menace or violence of some minorities exaggerated by the ruling class as panic and major threat, that all people should afraid of. Frighten people obey to anything and even ask to restrict the freedom to save them from the exaggerated threats.
When the ruling class feels they have enough power to conquer some land or destroy some potential competition they start wars. To make the war legitimate they cause provocation and blame it on the country they want to attack. It causes wars because the attacked country will defend itself and can even win the war. Wars useful as a reason, for rulers to increase weapon manufacturing, and give a huge budget to the military in excuse of potential war threat. It creates a social class of military personal that live from the working class taxes. And increase the inequality. They military people are more loyal and usually privileged so they fill the need of the ruler in loyal people to fight against the oppressed working class.
+axeleratar its yt baldy whats with the longness
That great thing about globalization it's not one idea's . It's many idea's different ways of doing something is better than just thinking they're one way 🤔 so different idea's can be good for Economics and bad too . That problem and great thing about globalization 🤔
And now I wonder if Cultural intelligence is not compatible with Neo Culture Technology... I've never seen globalization as bad, but it does have some bad effects if some people are left out of it and there are people like that in the world.
Good talk, although I do not feel his argument refutes globalisation, certainly the 'global village', but that's not what this is about. The travel & cultures he's experienced has been enabled by globalisation, one could even argue speaking in English in non-english speaking countries is a by-product of globalisation. Understanding the nuances of different cultures again points to cultural globalisation - the whole idea that I can research and/or be educated on various cultures nuances & practices, connects cultures, thus again, resulting in a more interconnected world. All this, stemming - ironically - from economic globalisation.
I think his argument comes from a sceptical realist p.o.v in regards to I.R theory.
Ps, thumbs up for the silence joke... A real shame noone picked up on it!
According to Alfandary, what does “Global Village” mean?
I actually got the silence joke and found that to be pretty good.
I agree with your points that he may have some wise thoughts, but he did not take any new, modern media into consideration. This made him look too old for the globalisation which he is part of but does not know of.

Wrong title for this video. Well planned.
Globalisation - you have a plot of land and work hard to cultivate it and transform it into a means of feeding your family. You are then forced to knock the fences down and other people come into your 'allotment' and help themselves and God help you if you complain.
Guessing ur american or uk nd voted leave brexit haha

I was expecting a talk on globalisation. Sorry, but someone has to put their hand up and make it clear that this is not a talk on globalization by any stretch of human imagination.
