THE GLOBAL VILLAGE IN THE MILLENNIUM

Values are changing as this world becomes one community. The technological revolution allows instant communication and virtual presence worldwide; globalization of the economy allows local businesses to have international significance; and human rights are becoming a universally recognized principle. Yet local and ethnic violence continues to be a problem. Philosopher Robert Ginsberg's presentation confronts the implications of these conflicting trends. Requires slide projector with remote and a screen. Adult audiences.
