Before reading these chapters, I mostly thought of globalization as something distant and abstract like trade deals, big corporations, and countries interacting on a scale way bigger than my own life. Chapters 1, 2, and 8 completely shifted that mindset. What surprised me most is how much globalization actually shapes everyday experiences, even when we don’t notice it, and how uneven those effects can be depending on who you are and where you live. In Chapter 1 we saw what globalization looks like in practice and highlighted the role of governments in shaping and influencing global interactions. Chapter 2, “How to Judge Globalism,” focused on the different perspectives people hold about globalism and how these views have evolved over time, especially within the context of Western civilization. We also saw how the rise of technology has reshaped people’s opinions and understanding of globalization in the modern era. In Chapter 8, the discussion shifted to the history of Neoliberalism, tracing its political and economic roots. This section examined how neoliberalism rose to global dominance and the numerous challenges it faced along the way. Overall, it was fascinating to see how interconnected politics, economics, and ideology have been in shaping the modern global landscape.
