Explain when you think globalization started as a process and why.

explain when you think globalization started as a process and why. You’ll also want to place globalization into historical context by situating it in relation to: 1) ancient empires; and/or 2) the period of European colonization; and/or 3) the industrial revolution and the rise of capitalism (discuss at least two of these). Explain how it is similar to but yet different from these previous phenomena. Next, choose two different examples or manifestations of globalization in the world today – Africa (Chpt 3); the Middle East (Chpt 4); Europe (Chpt 8); the Americas (Chpt 9) – and explain the benefits and disadvantages of globalization for the populations affected by these examples.

Explain Baggini’s argument that homosexuality is not immoral.

in “Philosophy v Science”, Lawrence Krauss claims that science can “resolve even moral questions” (10). In support of that claim, he says that science tells us that homosexuality is not immoral because some people are naturally disposed to homosexual behaviorsEven though Julian Baggini agrees that homosexuality is not immoral, he claims that science’s discovery that there is a natural disposition to homosexuality does not show this. To show this, Baggini uses the example of rape. Explain Baggini’s argument (which occurs between line 63 on page 10 and line 11 on page 13); that is, explain how he argues (using the example of rape) for the conclusion that science’s discoveries about natural dispositions do not determine which actions are moral or immoral.
