Warwick Group 1 (Adam Dev and Meseret).

Globalization:

GLOBALIZATION the development of an increasingly integrated global economy marked especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labour markets. (Janelle Reinelt).

Our challenges and elaborations:

1) Not 'Globalization' so much as 'Westernization'.
2) Globalization as the return of 'Colonization'.
3) 'Globalization' as 'exploitation.
4) A disease of economics infecting countries outside of America and the EU.

This word is just "fun" for me, because always when I meet some "spanish" they said that mexicans speak "spanish" and them "castellano".

Is this still a chain of colonization? - as Edward Scheer develops J.Reinelt GLOBALIZATION concept.

CASTELLANO

1) From Castilla or something relative to this territory that nowadays are: Castilla y León and Castilla-La Mancha: Spanish Furniture.
2) Spanish language: Spanish Literature.
3) Lord who owns and controls a Castle

At this respect, I firmly believe that Octavio Paz on its "Laberynth of Solitude" was right on this "chingadA" where female always "performs" the negative part and where all the "bad language" in "mexican spanish come from".

Words that attains this "feminine" and "submissive" attitude.
