Global Trends in Everyday Life:

Challenges of Individualization

1

"The question of who is competing for

your job has changed.

In 1900, these were the people from my

town, before 1950 people from my region,

before 1970 people from my country,

before 1990 people of countries with

which we trade agreement.

Nowadays globalization compete with

people from around the world."
