GLOBAL FLOWS ON INDIVIDUALS -FAHAD S. HADJI USOPH, BSBA Marketing All of the negative flows discussed above, indeed all of the analyses offered throughout virtually this entire book, deal in general and abstract terms with large-scale aspects of globalization. This is to a large degree because globalization itself is large in scale, general, and abstract (although an effort has been made throughout this book to concretize it). However, it is also the case that globalization in general, as well as the various negative flows discussed in this chapter, has a wide range of very profound effects on individuals (Lemert and Elliott 2006 ). Each of the major negative flows discussed above has profoundly adverse effects on individuals: people are victimized, even killed, as a result of global crime; citizens pay the costs resulting from corruption on a global level; innocent people, like those in the Twin Towers, in the subway systems in London and Madrid, and in Bali, Indonesia are the victims, often the intended victims, of terrorists; and it is certainly, the case that large numbers of innocent civilians die, and have their lives destroyed, by war. We can also look at this in another way by thinking about the individual implications of the various insecurities iterated by the United Nations Development Report: financial volatility and economic insecurity, job and income insecurity, health insecurity, cultural insecurity, personal insecurity, environmental insecurity, and political and community insecurity. While all of these insecurities exist globally, nationally, and in other large-scale collectivities of one kind or another, they are also certainly manifest at the individual level. Individuals suffer in global economic crises; in global wars; and from fear of such things as contractingAIDS, hostile neighbours, identity theft, the effects of global warming, and being caught up in the turmoil associated with a failed or failing state. Along these lines, one recent book (Lemert and Elliott 2006 ) has gone so far as to argue that globalization is toxic to individuals and their emotional lives. The authors see a variety of personal problems resulting from globalization such as hyperindividualism, privatization, and the decreasing solidity and durability of personal identity (although they recognize that globalization also brings with it the possibility of more open and flexible selves). Overall, they conclude that people are being emotionally damaged (Walker 2008 ) by the new “globalised individualism ” and by globalization in general, at least its negative aspects.
