The Brokefoot Mountain

Globalization, as defined by author and social critic Os Guinness in this 2006 talk, is the process whereby the speed, scope, and simultaneity of our communications allows us to conduct our human affairs anywhere in the world regardless of place, time, or government. Guinness explores some dysfunctions of globalization where life becomes a task, not a gift, and we limit self-reflection and depth in relationships.
