Globalization as Westernization

My position:
Previously the world was dominated by a geographic, state based system. Globalization is driving the world to a market based, corporate based system. Early in the formation of the state based system there was little incentive for concern about the rights and lives of individuals in the pursuit of political and geographic power. The same is true now in the global economy; there is little concern about the rights and lives of individuals in the pursuit of economic success. Perhaps the corporation in some form may become the dominant form of organization in the modern world.
