For them the talk of global interconnectivity is both remote and highly abstract. The social processes that many globalization theorists describe have little sense to them. But should this really be the case? Just because they are not globally networked, can we assume that global processes do not also affect them? Is it possible for the life style and options of those who do not travel to remain unaffected by those who do? Is it possible for the social constitution of their communities to remain unaltered? Can we even imagine places beyond the reach of the global media, and the new institutions of global exchange? Let me explain what I mean here with an example.
