1. Разрешите представить вам ведущего мирового специалиста по вопросам глобализации, профессора Гарвардского университета, доктора Бенджамина Портмана. Уважаемый профессор, сегодня предметом нашей дискуссии является такое популярное в наше время понятие как глобализация. Казалось бы, все мы знаем, что это такое. Однако, как ученые определяют понятие «глобализация»? 2. А сталкивалось ли человечество с проявлениями глобализации до начала 20 века? Или это явление характерно только для современной эпохи? 3. Таким образом, в основе глобализации лежит сотрудничество между различными странами, растущие объемы мировой торговли и инвестиций? А что же является «движущей силой» глобальных процессов? 4. До сих пор упоминались только положительные стороны глобализации. Несомненно, она имеет множество позитивных моментов, но в то же время является предметом многих дискуссий и споров. В чем причина? 5. Может ли страна каким-либо образом избежать глобализационных процессов или уклониться от них? 6. Конечно, глобализация – это неоднозначный процесс, имеющий свои плюсы и минусы. Но вне всякого сомнения, глобализация неизбежна, и мы должны понимать, что лежит в ее основе, и разбираться в ее проявлениях. Спасибо, уважаемый профессор, за интересную беседу. Надеемся встретиться с вами снова. |
