International Club members comment on globalization

"Globalization may be a good way to share technology [but] it is also important to preserve each person's basic rights, the environment and natural resources..." Samir Bakhshi, India

"In an increasingly connected world, we have greater responsibilities... to be aware of what occurs around the world, and to take small steps to bring the world together..." Ana Marquez, Mexico

"Spending five years of my life in Germany changed me physically, mentally and perhaps even spiritually... Countries are great because they preserve our cultures and history. But don't constrain yourself to them alone... Look at all the things we have in common..." Chris O'Mara, New Jersey

"... as we Malays say ? berat sama dipikul, ringan sama dijinjing ? 'We're all in this together'." Melati Nungsari, Malaysia
