Discussion in TeamSpeak [ in English ]

[Татя]

Hi Anfisa,

I took a look on the Globalization topic in Wikipedia.

It gives several quite good definitions.
Also, it gives a list of the effects caused by the process of Globalization.

Here they are:

Industrial
Financial
Economic
Competition
Technical

Political
Social
Legal/Ethical

Health Policy
Ecological

Informational
Language
Cultural
Religious

I'm not sure if we can cover all of them during one meeting, so we can choose some aspects and talk about them. Or, we can touch everything, and go into the details only on some of the aspects.

We also can do the following: one of us talks about, let's say, religious aspect, and the other - about informational one.

I would like it to be educational for me, so I would prefer to speak about Health Policy aspect myself, as you are an expert in this field and can comment professionally on my speech.

As we talked about technology and informational aspect last time, I have an idea of what you feel about it. What we didn't cover last time is the religious aspect. I would really like to hear your opinion on that aspect of Globalization, if it's OK with you.

If you would like me to speak about something particular about Globalization, please let me know via PM or in the forum's topic.

[Аленький Цветочек]

Татя, thank you for the deep analysis of the topic.
Certainly we can talk about Health Policy, religious, technological and informational aspect of Globalization.
I woul like to share my opinion about pros and cons of Globalization for me and my country.

Thank you for the discussion! And waiting for the next topic

[Аленький Цветочек]

We schould choose the topic for next Saturday, 10 pm Moscow time:

Describe something you could never give away.

Describe a place you will never forget.

Keeping healthy.

Tourists attractions in your country.

[Татя]

The last (but not least) one.

[Аленький Цветочек]

Татя, we can speak about tourists attractions not in not our coutries but in the regions. Because the countries are not small, especially USA.

[Татя]

Do you mean the area where I (you) live? I can do that. Or, I can choose just a couple of attractions in the US. Maybe three, or four.

[Аленький Цветочек]

Yes, i mean we schould speak about tourists attractions in our area. Sure you can choose a couple of attractions in the US.
