Globalization

Kaynes decided to concede the debate with reason. If my opponent wishes to do so, both of us may waive the debate votes into a tie to make things palatable.====The Debate is Over | the interactions below are to be IGNORED by voters ====="Really fast, I have to say that I think you overestimate the western cultural power. Although I agree that soft power(including culture) is more relevant that hard power(And we are not a lot of people convinced of this case), the most influential cultural countries in the future will come from asia, most certainly. But there's no reason to believe that it will lead to an hegemony, we do have a balance between many superpowers right now and it seems stable, more than in a bipolar world in any case and probably more than during an hegemony. After all, the countries being all dependant of eachothers, they can't declare war, they have to cooperate. China having 1/3 of the american debt for example make them intimate partners that have to remain allies for both their interests."That's interesting. I don't suppose you're implying that the security council has the right to veto any majority left outside the council and the policies of non-proliferation treaty are geared to avoid any Third World Countries from applying for a nuclear program. Any implications such as this would just serve to strengthen postcolonial thought on colonial imperialism. "I think you may believe that culture could expand without the action of a country, that people could westernized themselves simply by following a model. And that's something we would never agree on, as I firmly believe that cultural influence is the direct result of the efforts of one nation."So you've asserted."That's too bad, i had a very good idea of my arguments and I had prepared all my sources, but I just underestimated how much time this takes."I forgot we got da formality out da house lol, I'd like to recommend a few things since you have concerns. I'd suggest following RoyLatham's idea, which is preparing a draft of your arguments beforehand. This way, you can manage time if you are a routine sort of guy(though I'm apparently not since I'm a loud annoying ENTP douche lol). Researching and debating in 3 days is too much of a boring commitment so Roy's method does help as you can retype it back and proofread it before submitting. "I'm really sorry man, especially since you did prepare a case. Oh well..."There is no need to apologize m8, I appreciate the care and I know who's Edward Said now as a result lol :P"Alright enough of this, as you see I am passionate about the subject, It just really is too bad that I could not write a proper response to you : These take me several hours to make, sadly. But I am always open to simply discuss it, international relation is probably one of my favourite subjects"Sure, any attempt at broadening my knowledge pool has my endorsement as long as it's palatable in your interests as well.====The Debate is Over | the interactions above are to be IGNORED by voters =====I'd like to thank Kaynes for the short debate and for introducing me Edward Said. I leave it to my opponent whether to leave this debate as a tie or whichever.
