The Chronicle: 10/11/2002: Navigating the Ethics of Globalization

"My thesis is that how well we come through the era of globalization (perhaps whether we come through it at all) will depend on how we respond ethically to the idea that we live in one world. For the rich nations not to take a global ethical viewpoint has long been seriously morally wrong. Now it is also, in the long term, a danger to their security."

A great article in the Chronicle of Higher Education on the responsibilities that come with reaping the benefits of globalization.  I found this article in a thread on Plastic.  The thread contains several other interesting articles on globalization and an American empire.  Not too many comments in the thread yet, but that will hopefully change as the day passes.
