A Blog About the Current Readings

In Jane Poynter's article, "Learning From One Another", my group wondered if globalization was a two way street. 

In certain cases it really is, but on the other hand America's impact across the world is unquestionable. 

In one case she states, "Today, an influential core of Ladakhis is struggling to retain the best of traditional culture-community, art, and history-while retaining the many benefits development would bring."

It is in that sentence that explains a great deal. I believe societies can retain their traditional culture while also adopting developments from others. This type of globalization should not be ignored.

Additionally,  I felt the spiderman manifest destiny was interesting. Now, I pose the question is the United States still practicing a form of manifest destiny?
