Globalization Since 1492 class #1 january 11, 2006 Walls and Bridges: Convergences and Networks. part 1 introduction to the concepts and methodology behind globalization studies. Globalization is often about transcending walls and boundaries. Walls are created to keep out certain influences. The Great Wall of China was built to protect the Chinese civilization from barbarians. The Berlin Wall was symbolic of the Cold War, and the choice between two systems. Walls can be viewed as creating a dichotomy marking the other. - The War on Terror was presented by George W. Bush as a choice of being with us (US) or the terrorists. The wall separating Israel and Palestine in the West Bank is emblematic of the War on Terror. - Breaking down barriers in the British civil war, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Bolshevik Revolution. The western imperialist powers used addictive substances to break into new parts of the world. Opium, tobacco, coffee, tea, and sugar played a role in creating global trade. - ɩn a 2004 decision, the International Court of Justice at the Hague ruled the barrier (in Palestine) was illegal and called for Israel to tear it down and compensate those whose lives were adversely affected by it.Q

Part 10 - Comparing Dijla's experience in the refugee camp with other refugee camps. The camps in Iran were treated much better, more social integration was possible. There are a lot of laws protecting the movement of money, yet humans do not share the same kinds of rights. Its luck of the draw whether a group will be able to enjoy human rights, there are few enforcement mechanisms. In Iraq the divisions between Sunni and Shia are not emphasized, the first time Dijla encounters this division is from a Sunni driver in Saudi Arabia. Iraq really is a unified society, especially when it comes to uniting against outside aggression. Dijla would like to return to her home country.

Sometimes the Saudis would kidnap individuals and take them back to the Iraqi government in order to create fear in the camp. The people in the camp decided to organize a demonstration against the human rights abuses in the camp.
