Anthony Giddens is from England and has a very well educated background. Has a Ph.D form Cambridge. Also he is a professor at many universities around the world. Giddens has written many books on modern social theory. He believes that globalization is a complex set of processes. He uses a lot of information from all over the world. Also I think that he goes into a lot of detail in the things he talks about. He goes on talk ing about a group of thinkers that he calls “sceptics”. Sceptics think that globalisation is talk and only talk. Then there’s the others that he calls “radicals”. These radicals think that globalisation is real and so are there consequences are real also. Gidden states towards about the middle of the reading that how technology has come along throughout the years. First talking about satellites, then going on about Morse code. Also then he says it took 40 years to get an audience of 50 million on the radio. And it only took 15 years for the PC. He states that you can transfer larger amount of money form one side of the world to the other with just a click of a mouse. Globalisation is becoming more de-centered, it effect are felt just about all over. These changes are creating something called a global cosmopolitan society. We are the first generation to live in this society, and its shaking up our way of life where we are.
