the two opposite side of distinction.
-This distinction is used in communication as a code to
produce information about people and culture. The
challenge is to be cognizant of social realities and
regard local culture in the advent of localization.
-Think globally, act locally, presses people to consider
the situation of the entire planet and to take action
locally in their communities and cities.
