which you don't, but if you did, would you want globalization to continue?
That means all of it. Not just the happy all one family stuff, that includes the corporate bottom line part too. There is no having the cake and eating it here. Take the good with the bad. Is it worth continuing? Pros outweigh the cons? Not just travel and communication, everything. Anything you could think of that has anything to do with it. Again, purely hypothetical since nobody here gets a say in its actual implementation.

I don't see the difficulty of combining globalization with a healthy understanding that one country might be forced to protect itself economically just like it does with health and security.

although I wou;d want there to be better regulation.
I think that, the evils aside, globalization also has benefits, one of which being that perhaps we can someday soon realize we're all the same people, and stop killing each other over small details. Hopefully we can laugh collectively together at how small minded we once were, and can be citizens of planet earth.
That said, it would also be nice for cultures to be able to retain their identities too - if we can unite without losing who we are, what makes us unique.
ok, I'll come down out of La La Land now.... ;)

Globalization is just a code word for corporatization. What we are getting is a global class war--a global race to subsistence wage rates. There will be a few very wealthy people and billions of proles.
All the other "attributes" of globalization are fluff.
