Question

Is Civilizational Stability Possible in a Globalized World Order?

Answer 1

Yes, the advent of advanced communications and forms of media has made globalization possible, but as a side affect, communications has allowed us closer, deeper looks at less civilized societies.  Other nations will feel compelled to help or otherwise put some sort of pressure on the more volatile societies (Dafur comes to mind).  They in turn may want to conform to the 'societal standard' when their people see what other, more civilized societies are like.
