Assignment #1

Globalization has positive effects because it allows us to be at the same level and understand each other. It helps us relate and makes us more unified. However, globalization can also be a bad thing because it is important that we maintain our own unique culture and don't rub off too much on each other.
Cultural lag can be a good thing because we can use other parts of the world as examples, and learn from their customs and styles. It is helpful because we don't all have the same ideas, technologies, or styles at the same time, because that would be boring and make
us too similar.
An example of cultural lag in the school setting would be how we use netbooks, but most countries in the world aren't dependent on technology yet.
