I disagree, Andrew, and take a view more like Alan's. Globalization occurs when more folks operate from a world-centric life view (not ego- centric or ethno-centric), more countries are trading goods and services, and more folks have access to goods and services from other countries. This group is comprised of folks from many different parts of the world. A good example.
