My Weapons (episode VII)--- The Economist

Comparing with <>, <> is more concerned in world politics issues. It originated in London, so there are many words spelling in “pure” English way, such as “theatre” and “cinema.” At first, I often mistook that they didn’t correct the articles carefully; finally, I knew that I was really innocent.

There is a special column named “Obituary,” which introduces a famous person passed away in the publishing month. Telling the truth, I don’t know very much about most of the people they’ve reported in this unit, but I really admire the idea of this column. As a world-leading press, <> shows their mourning to the people who devoted themselves to the world. That is some kind of perceptual, isn’t it?

To read English business and politics journals has taught me one thing: Uplifting your view can bring you a different world. When we often talk about globalization and worldwide competition, what have we done for preparing for it? If we don’t know what is happening in the globe, how can we react and cultivate a real “global vision?” That is not “an English language” matter, but “a global-village thinking.” I think language is just a bridge to the competitive platform, if we don’t have clear thoughts, there are still many problems.

I suddenly hit on one sentence I heard, ”Global vision; local touch.” This is a good concept for an international company to develop its business strategies. I consider it also a good idea for people who want to succeed in the present day’s competition.
