If I had to put a face to the word globalization is that of a city like London.
London is globalization itself, I do not think there is a more cosmopolitan place.
Despite the Gothic facade (use the word despite knowing be too reductive and synthetic), the double-decker buses, taxis and the windows typical characteristic with the insignia of wood, his story is about progress since the dawn of time and can be felt everywhere, in the civic sense of the people, in seriousness, in resigned tones and efficiency of the "machine London," the feeling of being part of a gear that runs fast.
You're welcome, I plucked, I refer to hurry home. And, perhaps under the mustache from merchants, and they laugh at you because of your stupidity, like all tourists, neither more nor less, yield to the charm of the Harrods department store, but you can not give you a shopping spree.
I could describe my weekend in London as a romantic (but London is not a romantic city and neither Doc nor I are inclined to fuss), I could talk about red buses sightseeing tour of whizzing in all directions (which we did not take) or having the monuments of Westminster Abbey or the Houses of Parliament (three days but very few), and in any case I would give a key only partial, because it is a city in itself Concluded but a microcosm in which the reductive prefix "micro" is to be considered as such only in relation to the cosmos.
whole world passes through Piccadilly Circus.
It is not so much to say.
not have here in Italy a comparison example of the concept of multicultural society and there, however, fully grasps: the coexistence of different ethnic groups on the same level of opportunities implementation in Italy is a distant longing. While we talk of legalization of immigrants and condemn the xenophobic attitudes that occur as well, comparing the speech to the human and the law (which are only the basic level), here, by centuries of industrial development to date, the trade routes and by the East India Company, by the formation of the Stock Exchange and banks to exchange the current recession that has touched the British economy without sinking, languages \u200b\u200band races mingle without obfuscation in order to assist in the definition of facies of a nation that remains strongly characterized in its customs and traditions, while accepting all other respect full of laws. Because, needless to say, if the laws are not observed (all the same), coexistence is not possible. And, then, identity is lost.
In light of these considerations, I can easily say it is a civil place.
