ABSTRACT
Ever since Adam and Eve left the garden, people have been expanding the geographic realm of their economic, political, social, and cultural contacts. In this sense of extending connections to other peoples around the world, globalization, is nothing new. Also, as a process of major change and instability that can embody both great opportunities for wealth and progress and great trauma and suffering, globalization at the beginning of the twenty-first century is following a well-established historical path.1
