Discuss the relevance of the terms/ideas outlined in this week's lecture and readings to everyday life in your world

During the lecture, the ideas between globalization and cosmopolitanism have discussed in the class, both of these terms have strong impact in our everyday life, globalization discourse is something generally concerned with the relations between or beyond states, while cosmopolitanism focuses on changes in the finest quality of the social and political itself, the idea is not to look for the most general way but for global changeableness, inter-connectedness and intercommunication.

It is clear that globalization has not achieved what the world expect it to be; only cosmopolitanism can improve the world or at least make a better world. However, I believed that globalization itself can be good and bad because it has the power to contributes a lot of good things. For an instance, a good example of globalization is Asian countries have employed globalization in their own sense and at their own pace, this result has been benefited in many ways, particularly in the sense of education and technology. Let's look at how this thing works in China, every year, there are a lot of exported Chinese students study abroad, due to the over competitiveness within the country, their nations employed the globalization idea and gained overseas education, as a result, today's China has become the leading economic power, that's excellent. However, Globalization needs to be restructured to make it potential and I think international economic institutions have to be restructured, to ensure that globalization can reach its fullest potential and to achieved what the global nations wanted. However, the bad thing is the greatest challenge, it lies not just in the institutions but also in the concern for the environment, the promotion of democracy and fair trade, all these problems are the necessity to generate and implement policies to achieve the best globalization result. And, there must be more improvement needed in the more developing countries, mainly in the financial perspective as this could make a difference in health and education sectors through promotion of health and fight against literacy.

Globalization is a process that has been gaining more and more strength by exchanging worldly ideas or services between countries. We know that developed countries are those countries which have made a lot of evolvement in many aspects, but also the developing countries benefited from all these developments despite on a much smaller scale. Today we talk about a common market in a border-less world. Globalization certainly has its advantages but also its own disadvantages, mostly for poor countries. The poorer countries are unfortunately lack behind the world due to the less globalization within the country, for example, Indonesia is less-interconnectedness in the world due to poorer technology access, and its impact has eventually caused the country disconnected from sharing the culture and entertainment with United States compared with Japan and United States. Thus, to make the world to be more accessible, I believe cosmopolitanism should be an indispensable element in the world, and also it's accountability of all nations to roll into a ball, participate, speak out, create policies and implement them to make a world of unity.

Signs Your Ex Likes You vs Signs Your Ex Wants To Get Back Together – The Difference

Trying to understand the mystery of these signs is no easy task.

Your ex’s behavior after a breakup can be confusing, irritating, frustrating and sometimes downright hurtful. And the reason behind this is the fact that you are always trying to deduce their motives behind their behavior.

They liked your status on Facebook – What does it mean?

They ran into you in your favorite coffee shop – What does it mean?

They call you in the middle of the night ending the phone call with “Let’s just be friends” – What is that all about?

Even the smallest action by your ex can drive you crazy if you over analyze it. It gets even worse when you still love your ex and want to get back together. The question that is always on your mind is whether or not this was a sign that your ex still likes you.

But you should however be careful in getting your hopes up if your ex likes you. Just because they still like you (or still love you) doesn’t necessarily mean they want to get back together. In fact, if you were in a meaningful relationship, then chances are they still like you. But that does not mean they want to get back together. This article will give you a distinct difference between the signs when they just like you and signs when they are thinking of getting back together.

Signs your ex likes you

1. Emotions

If your ex has any type of emotions (including hate and anger) towards you, then you can be sure they still have feelings for you. See, the opposite of love isn’t hate. It’s indifference. When they don’t have any emotions towards you, that’s when you have to start worrying. As long as they hate you, you are still on their mind and they still care about you. But when they become indifferent towards you, then that just means you no longer matter to them.

Any emotion is better than indifference. Even anger.

2. Contact

If your ex is trying to contact you after a breakup. You can rest assured they still like you. However, it doesn’t mean they want to get back together. It just might be that they miss you after a breakup and wanted to talk to you. This is a great sign that they like you but don’t over analyze it.

3. Being Competitive

If they are being competitive, it’s a good sign.

If your ex is trying to make you jealous or trying to show you that their life is much better without you, this is a sign they still think about you and they still have feelings for you. It doesn’t mean they want to get back together. It just means they get a little ego boost by showing you how good they are doing. If they are trying to show you they are doing great, then they are probably miserable in reality. And that’s definitely a good sign.

4. Push/Pull Behavior

One moment your ex wants to spend time with you and the other they want to avoid you. This behavior is very common after a breakup. However, this behavior can be extremely frustrating if you still love your ex and want to get them back. They are nice to you one second and super mean the next. The reason behind this behavior is that they are confused about what they want in life. Their heart misses you, while their brain is telling them to stay away from you.

The push/pull behavior means that there is a conflict going on inside them and there is nothing you can do about it. However, this behavior doesn’t necessarily mean they want to get back together. It just means they are having trouble figuring out what they want.

5. Accidental Running In

If your ex runs into you at places where you frequently visit, that means they still like you and they were missing you. It might just mean that they wanted to see how you were doing.

6. Lingering touch

When your ex hugs (or touches you) you and lingers for longer than normal that means they still have feelings for you. If your touch gives them a feeling they want to hold on to, you can almost guarantee they still have feelings for you.

7. Knowing your private life

If your ex already knows what’s happening in your life, then they are asking around about youand that means they are still interested in your life. Even though they might not want to get back together, it sure means they care for you.

8. Drunk Dialing

This one is pretty obvious. If your ex remembers you after they are drunk and they want to talk to you. That’s a sign they like you.

All the above signs just indicate that they still like you. It doesn’t necessarily mean they are thinking of getting back together. However, even if your ex exhibits any of the above signs, you still have a pretty decent chance of getting back together if you follow the UnBreakup guide.

Signs Your Ex Wants To Get Back Together

1. The future talk

When your ex talks about the future, do they include you in it? If so, then that means they plan on having you in their life. This can be a sign that they want to get back together.

2. Not Dating/ Hiding Dating

If your ex is not dating or is actively trying to hide their dating life from you (by lying or some other means) then that means they are thinking about getting back together. If they decided to move on, they wouldn’t have cared whether or not you knew about their dating life.

3. The relationship talk

If your ex wants to talk about what went wrong in your relationship and how it could’ve been fixed, then that’s a sure fire sign they want to get back together. Remember, it’s only a sign if they bring it up and they talk about how things could be fixed. If you bring it up and/or you guys are blaming each other for the relationship’s problem then that’s NOT a sign they want to get back together.

4. Becoming a better ex

If your ex makes an effort to improve as a person and as a potential partner, and then they try to let you know about it directly or indirectly, then they are thinking about getting back together. It could be something like giving up smoking, getting a new job, going to the gym etc.

5. Bringing up memories

If your ex tries to remind you of all the good times you’ve had together, like anniversaries, your memorable dates, your memorable moments etc. Then that means they want you to feel the same thing they are feeling, which is a good sign they want to get back together.

If you get an obvious sign that they want to get back together, then you have to make a move. But be careful and don’t be too upfront about it. Don’t bring up the topic of getting back together unless you are absolutely sure they want to.

If it has been a while since you broke up and you are still secretly hoping to get your ex back, then it’s time you reconsider your priorities, your love and the relationship goals in your life. I am sure you still think that your ex is the one for you and soon they will realize this and come back to you. But usually, that’s just a make-believe your mind plays when it’s still in denial. Here are a few questions that might help you realize whether it’s time to move on or not.

1. Was your ex really a nice person?

Think about the time you spent with your ex. Did they treat you with respect and kindness? Do you think they were a nice person? Or you were hoping that things will get better in the future and your ex will become nice. If you are hoping that your ex will come back and change to be a better person, you are going to be disappointed. It’s best if you just move on and forget bout getting back together.

2.Does your ex use you to complain about their new lover?

Are you trying to be the person who comforts their ex after they broke up with their lover? Do you believe that once they see how much you care about them they will come back? If so, you are just setting yourself up for hurt. Even if they do get back with you, you are always going to regret being a doormat and waiting for them while they roamed around town having a short lived romance with everyone else. Instead of waiting for them, move on and find yourself other lovers. It’s time you decide to move on and let your ex decide whether or not they want you.

3. Was your relationship really worth it?

Even if you start a brand new relationship with your ex, it will be similar to your last one in many ways. Think back and decide whether or not you want to be in a relationship like that. Do you really think you have the potential to be in a loving healthy relationship with your ex? If there were some major problems in your relationship, then it’s better if you move on.

4. Did you have different priorities in life?

Did you two breakup because of a major life decision? Did you two have different priorities in life? If so, then you should just move on and concentrate on finding someone who wants the same thing in life as you. Even though your ex might have been perfect on every other level, unless your partner and you want the same things in life, you relationship can never be a happy one.

5. Is your ex already moving on?

Even after a breakup, you can easily determine whether or not your ex is interested in you. You can know whether they are indifferent towards you or they are still hoping to get back together. All you have to do is keep an eye out for all the signs your ex likes you. If all the signs indicate they are dead set on moving on, then so should you.
