  24. Passage B The Great Global DVD Divide Read and Explore

  25. How to Learn Warm-up Questions Consolidation Practice Related Information Class Discussion of Difficult Language Points Class Discussion of Exercise 12 Words and Expressions Content Awareness

  26. Warm-up Questions 1. What roles can DVDs play in the globalization of Hollywood movies? 2. What benefits has the United States obtained from releasing global DVD products? 3. Do you think DVDs will still be useful in the future globalization of world culture?

  27. What Are Regional Codes DVD discs contain Regional Codes which can be used to prevent the playback of certain discs depending upon the geographical area it is played in. The various studios and home video companies lobbied to make sure this coding system was a required part of the current DVD standards, because they wish to control how their DVD titles are exported to other countries. (For example, while a recent film Related Information 1. DVD Regional Coding Map and other information

  28. may already have played theatrically in the United States and been released to the home video market, that same film may not yet have opened in some European or Asian countries.) In most instances, discs manufactured in one region will usually only play on players that were manufactured in that same region - this means that discs bought or imported from Japan will not play on U.S. players, and vice versa. However, the regional coding system is entirely optional, and discs without Regional Codes will play on any player in any country.

  29. DVD Region BreakdownRegion 1 - The U.S., U.S. territories and Canada Region 2 - Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, Greenland Region 3 - Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong Region 4 - Mexico, South America, Central America, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Caribbean Region 5 - Russia (okay, former Russia), Eastern Europe, India, most of Africa, North Korea, MongoliaRegion 6 - China

  30. "The Era of Globalization" is fast becoming the preferred term for describing the current times. Just as the Depression, the Cold War Era, the Space Age, and the Roaring 20's are used to describe particular periods of history; globalization describes the political, economic, and cultural atmosphere of today. 2. New era replaces Cold War and Space Age

  31. The term globalization is widely used, but its meaning is not always entirely clear . It is defined somewhat differently by different persons according to their focus of interests. Here are some definitions: The term "globalization" describes the increased mobility of goods, services, labour, technology and capital throughout the world. Although globalization is not a new development, its pace has increased with the advent of new technologies, especially in the area of telecommunications. 3. What is Globalization?

  32. 2) a process of rapid economic integration among countries driven by the liberalization of trade, investment and capital flows as well as rapid technological change. Compared with past episodes of economic history, globalization involves enterprises and workers of nearly all countries, in goods as well as services sectors. 3) People around the globe are more connected to each other than ever before. Information and money flow more quickly than ever. Goods and services produced in one part of the world are increasingly available in all parts of the world. International travel is more frequent. International communication is commonplace. This phenomenon has been titled "globalization."

  33. Globalization is certainly one of the most widely used terms in debates on economic and social development in the 1990s. Appreciations of the outcome of globalization could not be more divergent: while some see it as a main driving force towards new prosperity in which the poorer countries can catch up in the world economy, others fear that globalization will have perverse effects on workers, jeopardize social rights, and aggravate social inequalities. Globalization is much like fire. Fire itself is neither good nor bad. Used properly, it can cook food, sterilize equipment, form iron, and heat our homes. Used carelessly, fire can destroy lives, towns and forests in an instant. 4. Globalization---for and against

  34. Globalization actually creates more diversity, not less. While it integrates markets, making products and services universally available, it also increases consumer choice. Technology enables global products to be customized to meet local, or even individual, consumer tastes. The information revolution has ended the monopoly on the flow of ideas and information. The result is that many people now have more cultural freedom than before. 5. Globalization and cultural diversity

  35. The WTO has become the most prominent symbol of globalization and the complex changes that are driving the world economy. As such it has become the target for all opponents of globalization, as events in Seattle in December 1999 showed clearly. Despite the criticism, the WTO is a powerful example of a rules-based international system to promote more open trade and investment worldwide. 6. Globalization and the WTO
