Ok - I live in a country with very high wages where we enjoy exporting low-tech stuff to China, and where most of the people on my street are talking with people from other countries as part of their daily work processes. I live a life where it is cheaper and easier to visit my neighboring country than to go to work, where people go Christmas shopping by plane, where kids are chatting with kids from all over the world as part of their free time hobbies. It's a world where my 15 y.o. nephiew comes back from Nepal with his scout friends, and goes to Sweden on the same day for relaxing, next day comes back to Denmark and starts chatting with his American and Italian friends via the internet. It's a world where SMS has replaced postcards. It's a world where you make business calls with your skis on, and where you cannot buy programmers in India cheaper than a programmer in western countries, if you want the same performance. I don't see a wage thing in connection with globalization, that wasn't present before globalization. Here is wikipedia's article on globalization: en.wikipedia.org

dydahl asks < What is globalization?> Box(is it cardboard or wood?) replies <<what i am watching every single day unravel before all to see. it could not be more simple.>> Max jumps in & says "Indeed oft the fewest words supplies the truth most succinctly. You can have a 1,000 pages of yakety-yak-yak-yak, back and forth but bottomline the answer to 'what is globalization' is EXACTLY what Box stated. That's period like in a no/ifs/ands or buts: just period! Let the debate cease, as there is none. The magic word is UNRAVELING. That ain't theory, that is FACT".Max
