Globalization - The new religion

We hear a lot of brutal killings over religion and race these days and a few years before we had no solution to stop this. However, in the 21’st century, globalization could emerge as the new mantra to stop this kind of violence.

When countries open up, they open up their cultures too. Rational well informed people will choose to extract positive aspects from religions they are exposed to and will block negative aspects like fanaticism and intolerance that is an inherent part of most religions.

In a few decades from now, we could possibly experience a world where we have one set of principles, one code of ethics and one mantra to chant to. The mantra may very well be called the globalization – o- namah. Sinners who reject this mantra will most definitely go to hell, just like countries like France that reject the forces of globalization are doomed.

Technology is currently helping India to shun her customs like the arranged marriages, that are outdated. More Indian kids are falling in love and technology in the form of cell phones and S.M.S. is helping Indians understand and experience the feeling of being smitten. Once known for her snake charmers, elephants and her caste system, today India is known for her call centers and huge pool of English speaking intelligent engineers. The face of her politics, which had leaders who were unintelligent and lazy is now transforming with the Prime minister being a PhD in economics from Harvard University and the President being a leading scientist.

English has and will continue to be a popular and desired platform for communication. A competing language could be Spanish, but English will be more popular just as Linux today in more popular than windows. Also, there will be a huge chapter in every economics textbook on how important globalization is to the success of a country. And globalization can only occur if, the country has affordable high school education, an emphasis on the English language, sustainable natural resources, stable political system and most definitely a democracy.
