Talk:Globalization

Unquestionably an article to start controversy

I am wedded to little in this, certainly including the workgroups. Globalization, regional alliances, and cultural exchange, however, need to be covered somewhere. Howard C. Berkowitz 17:19, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Enablers?

Really, Howard, isn't that a very loaded, and editorializing, word? Particularly since you don't try to explain it at all or to expand the concept in any way. I really suggest that you find another heading. Hayford Peirce 17:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Feel free to substitute something. I said the article was intended to elicit participation on an important issue. Actually, I don't consider "enabler" to be especially loaded. An enabler is anything that assists something to happen; teachers are enablers of literacy. Howard C. Berkowitz 17:29, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

You know very well what the current meaning is! Hayford Peirce 17:38, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

No, I don't. I know some 12-steppers like it. I'm not going to give up rational meanings, or long-established traditions such as anthropomorphizing ships, because you dislike it. As I've said, change it if you like. I have other things to do than argue about the nuanced meaning of a header. Howard C. Berkowitz 17:42, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
