It was the anti—globalization movement that really put globalization on the map．As a word it has existed since the 1 960s，but the protests against this allegedly new process，which its opponents condemn as a way of ordering people’S lives，brought globalization out of the financial and academic worlds and into everyday current affairs．()
In the late 1 980s and early 1 990s．the business model called the“globalized”financial market came to be seen as an entity that could have more than just an economic impact on the parts of the world it touched．Globalization came to be seen as more than simply a way of doing business，or running financial markets—it became a process．From then on the word took on a life of its own．

service sector to deal with its customers through a call centre in India，or for a sportswear(运动服)manufacturer to design its products in Europe，make them in south．east Asia and sell them in north America．()
But this is where the anti—globalization side gets stuck in(关注)．If these practices replace domestic economic life with an economy that is heavily influenced or controlled from overseas．then the creation of a globalized economic model and the process of globalization can also be seen as a surrender of power to the corporations，or a means of keeping poorer nations in their place。
Not everyone agrees that globalization is necessarily evil，or that globalized

Globalization can be seen as a positive，negative or even marginal process．And regardless of whether it works for good or ill，globalization’S exact meaning will continue to be the subject of debate among those who oppose，support or simply observe it。

1 Last week a sample of the new US citizenship(公民身份)exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services(US—CLS )．It will be tried out in 1 0 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008．Instead of asking how many stripes the USflag has，as the current test does，the new one asks why there are 13 stripes。Instead ofhaving to name the branches of government，an applicant is asked to explain why thereare three．
2 “The goal is to make it more meaningful．”explains Emilio Gonzalez，director of theUS—CIS。Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better“understanding and respect”for US civic(公民的)values，Gonzalez says.
