We chose mostly images from World War II. The reason is that the main ideas that led the world into war are the same that continue in globalization. It's just that the definition of a nation changed a little. So we started with an alliance system. Now the alliance is between one transnational company and another. We used to have imperialism. Now we have imperialism in the name of Wal-Mart. We used to have global conflict and now we still do, but globalization has made the enemy harder to detect.

Globalization Collage #22
We chose mostly images from World War II. The reason is that the main ideas that led the world into war are the same that continue in globalization. It's just that the definition of a nation changed a little. So we started with an alliance system. Now the alliance is between one transnational company and another. We used to have imperialism. Now we have imperialism in the name of Wal-Mart. We used to have global conflict and now we still do, but globalization has made the enemy harder to detect.

Our collage has symbolism of the world today and how everything is connected. About how globalization has changed us in a good and bad way. The United States culture is being spread all over the world by Internet and things like that. For this reason we have Peter Griffin the in the middle of the world and American ideas coming out around him. We say that its good since its connecting people all over the world. Its also bad since some people don't want to be connected because they say its ruining their culture. It symbolizes how globalization is made and how it effects others.The mood is colorful and full of different emotions. Globalization is mainly just a thrill ride where it fun and scary, it has it's ups and down and in the end, we can't go back to where we were before.

On the left, you see black and white. You see how the world was back during the era of the Cold War. The colors depict the black and white ideas, include how they defined their world, what they believed about truth and the notion of good and evil that once dominated all dialog. Now you have globalization with the technology, the colors, the humanity together but confused and losing our sense of wrong and right.

Many of the students see globalization as something evil. We disagree. We want to embrace the global village. So, we showed pictures of how globalization is changing school, technology, business and pretty much the whole world. We chose every color to show an optimistic mood and the heart is symbolic of a love of globalization. Our stated theme is that globalization connects to the world and our implied theme is that this connection is a good thing.
