THE DEFINITION OF GLOBALIZATION

This post is part of "Laughter Lives! Tuesday" on the Riggs Family Blog. Check our their blog to read everyone else's "Laughter Lives!" posts.

A definition of globalization that I can understand and

to which I now can relate:

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?

Answer: Princess Diana's death.

Question: How come?

Answer : An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend
crashes in a French tunnel,

driving a German car
with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian
who was drunk
on Scottish whisky,
(check the bottle before youchange the spelling),
followed closely by
Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an American doctor,

using Brazilian medicines.

This is sent to you by
an American,

(well, actually I am German)

using Bill Gates's technology,
and you're probably reading this on your computer,
that uses Taiwanese chips,

and a Korean monitor,
assembled by
Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Indian lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegals....
.
.
That, my friends, is Globalization!!

Let's see if I can figure this thing out...

I'm not quite sure what I will write about, but maybe I'll just tell a little about myself to start off.
I'm a 40-some year old German citizen and mother of 2 daughters. Daniela 14, and Jennifer 12 years old. We have been living in South Florida, Coconut Creek, for almost 4 years and moved back to Germany in 2001.
