Are all politics local? Reflection on activism.

As globalization progresses farther and farther, localization matters less. Though localization will always have an impact on identity, as communication and travel become easier, location will not matter as much. Already the definition of local has changed, with developments such as the European union, and united nations it wouldn't be crazy to identify with a larger group, other than a country. It may seem a little corny to say, we could all be citizens of the world, but that is the direction the political systems are heading. Organizations Like the UN create rules many cultures all agree on, this allows for peoples of different cultures to identify together. With common Identity common politics should follow. If politics can be more encompassing less conflicts could follow. This is because there is more to bind country's together than Pitt them against each other. I think globalization is a natural trend, that will likely occur despite protests or resistance, and hopefully will be a political change for good.
