GLOBALISATION CONT...2

THE WORLD IS 19 YEARS OLD
Year 1989. The year I feel was the year of change and revolution. George Bush Sr. took over the US presidency from Ronald Regan, the Soviets left Afghanistan, Ayatollah Khomeini placed a fatwa on Salman Rushdie’s head and dies himself the same year, Egyptians found the 4400 years old mummy at the Great Pyramid of Giza, a new government is also formed in India and Greece, France celebrated the 200th anniversary of the French revolution, cold war started plummeting, Boris Becker won the last of his Wimbledon Championships and the world saw the emergence of arguably the best player in the history of Lawn Tennis – Pete Sampras. These are a few of the significant happenings of 1989. The year really was the year of change. The most significant change was the birth of Globalization and the US dominance on the world that lasts to this day. This new world might just be 19 years old but it has attained the power of youth. With one more passing year it would officially reach its youth from teenage. Globalization has converted the world into a globalized village and market place.
