=======================================

"Narrative is the art closest to the ordinary daily operation of the human mind. People find the meaning of their lives in the idea of sequence, in conflict, in metaphor and in moral...

The narrative mode of thought comes universally to people as, for instance, mathematical or scientific reasoning do not.

Everyone all the time is in the act of composition, our experience is an ongoing narrative withing each of us. "

--- E.L. Doctorow

Understanding Globalisation...!!!

Because I am globalist...!!!
That is the school of thought to which I belong. That means I am not a realist who thinks everything in foreign affairs can be explained by the quest for power and geopolitical advantage--and markets don`t really matter.

I am not an environmentalist, who looks at the fate of the world only through the prism of the environment and what must be done to save it---and development doesn`t matter.

I am not a technologist--one of those silicon valley techno-nerds who believe that invention of microprocessor and that of internet will determine future of international relations---and geopolitics doesn`t matter.

I am not an essentialist who believes that people`s behavior can be explained by some essential culture or DNA trait---and technology doesn`t matter.

And I am not an Economist, who believes that you can explain the world with reference only to markets--and power politics & cultre doesn`t matter.

(Thomas Friedman in THE LEXUS AND OLIVE TREE)
