Hi As a mature student approaching my first year at University to take a degree in Sociology and Education I would very much appreciate the opportunity to exchange thoughts with anyone who has the time to do so. My current topic is globalization. When it arrives by snail mail I shall also be taking a look at Giddens Sociology. I have studied Open Universitys DD100 Social Science course and am using their material to prepare for September. I am currently comparing definitions and attitudes towards the term globalization and have more questions than answers. Forgive me if these are naïve. Wiseman describes globalization as a slippery, dangerous and important buzzword of the latter part of the 20th century. Giddens describes the world as a runaway world all terms which seem emotive. Mulgan homes in on a negative kind of globalization through the unity shared over pollution and environmental matters. I dont have a good background in British History and am finding it difficult to compare the advancements in communications over recent decades with say the development of the phone and TV. I dont as yet have any advice on how to prepare for the education part of my degree any suggestions? Your responses on or off list would be greatly appreciated Daphne

Giddens describes the world as a “runaway world” all terms which seem emotive. Mulgan homes in on a negative kind of globalization through the unity shared over pollution and environmental matters. I don’t have a good background in British History and am finding it difficult to compare the advancements in communications over recent decades with say the development of the phone and TV.
I don’t as yet have any advice on how to prepare for the education part of my degree any suggestions?
