Ulrich Beck against Globalism It exports working positions from one country to another
It breaks up the processes of production
It puts the countries where the actual production runs under political manipulation
There is differentiation and even confrontation between the place where the capital is invested and the place where the taxes are paid
Globalism destroys the fundamental difference between the realm of economics and that of politics.
Manuel Castells about the Network
The network society is dependent on the computer literacy and the consumerism
Nowadays the information is not just a tool for material production, rather it is a product itself
The system leis on network paradigm and increasing complexity of the connections
Due to the technologies people are able to work with and to distribute bigger volume of symbols than ever before
