The idea of the world removing the separation between local and Global is truly a Utopian idea. Globalization is happening but not to the extent that is wanted by the global powers of the world. But globalization does forget about the little people.
Arjun Appadurai has proposed that a framework of exploring such disjuncture is to look at the relationship between 5 dimensions of global cultural flow. These are ethnoscape, mediascape, technoscape, finanscape and ideoscape.
These terms are used to show how the world is becoming very globalized but this is just a small part of the world. It doesn't cover everything and it doesn't think of the little people that it hurts. Everything is not corporate. There are little things that make or keep the world local.
It is very Utopian to think we can become one world.
