Globalization

A student of mine from two years ago--who stepped into my classroom mere days after arriving (legally) from Southeast Asia, sent the following to me. It's entertaining enough to post here:

What is the exact definition of globalization ?

- the Death of madam Diana. - Why? - She's an English lady, going with an Egyptian boyfriend, got in an accidence in a tunnel in France. Their Belgian driver was driving a German car which had an engine from Holland. They were chasing by the Italian parrazzies who were riding Japanese motorbikes. An African man has sent this message, using the technology of an American company (Microsoft). You know this because of a Vietnamese friend and you reading this message on a computer which main parts are from Taiwan or China and which was developed by Indian computer engineers.
