Please help with my globalization essay!!

blahblah89

Hey.

I'm currently right in the middle (in terms of word count) with an essay that is due tomorrow. I lost 1000 words last night on my laptop, hence why I am behind.

Anyway, the question is: "Globalisation is too vague a term to hold any analytical meaning or intellectual value’. Do you agree?"
I have so far done the intro, then I did 3 paragraphs on the hyperglobalist, sceptics& transformationalist point of view.[/FONT][/SIZE]

But what else can I talk about?? I am really stuck.

I would appreciate some help please.

Wtf has that got to do with Politics?!

Off to Humanities with ya, or better yet, do your own work on the essay. You'll get more satisfaction out of it

Probably because I do a politics degree.

I'm not asking someone to do my essay, I'm asking for help in terms of ideas. And you're not helping- so don't bother leaving stupid comments.

I'm not going to help with your essay here but I do agree that the term is too vague and generalised to have any useful meaning.

Thanks. ^^ But what points could I raise in terms of that argument that it is too vague to have any maning etc??

So far I have said it isn't too vague because there has been the hyperglobalist, sceptics and transformationalist point of view.

And you've come up with some idea's yourself, what's to stop you coming up with more?

Pure laziness I'd hazard a guess.

I was agreeing with the initial statement "Globalisation is too vague a term to hold any analytical meaning or intellectual value". I think for it (or any concept) to be useful there has to be a precise definition that is generally agreed upon. What is this generally agreed definition of globalism?

No actually there has been a death in the family last week. And if you would have read my previous posts properly you would have found out that 1,000 words that I have written were lost on my laptop. So I had to start all over again. So I have had a stressful time of it.

I hope that you feel better in yourself, that you come on these forums and leave spiteful and very, very presumptous suggestions. Thanks for making me feel even more rubbish.

To scepticOne, I see your point. I guess there isn't one universal definition of globalization. But I used one that I found in a book (yes I did reading) in my intro.

Anyway, thanks to the others for your help.
