Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two Stanford graduate students, created a search engine called Backrub in 1996. After it grew too large for Stanford servers, they decided it needed a new name and chose Google. Sun Microsystems co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim provided the first $100,000 in funding for what would become Google Inc. Google launched many products and services over the years including Gmail, Google Maps, Google Docs, YouTube, and Android. It became a dominant force in search and digital advertising.
This document discusses different perspectives on globalization and the need for a critical theory of globalization. It argues that globalization should be viewed dialectically, recognizing both its positive and negative aspects. While globalization can spread capitalism and homogenize culture, it also increases connectivity and cultural hybridity. The document calls for theorizing globalization's contradictions between capitalism and democracy, and how globalization is imposed from above but also contested from below. An ideal critical theory would appraise globalization's impacts in a nuanced way rather than taking simplistic pro- or anti-globalization stances.
