Jihad vs. McWorld
Benjamin R. Barber in his book Jihad vs. McWorld portrays a world where all your hopes and dreams for happiness are within a simple grasp. ... Welcome to McWorld. ... vs. ... vs. ... vs. ... vs. ... Without McWorld though these groups wouldn’t have the money, technology or the now how to put up this religious war, these so called Jihads. ...
This group is in complete digression to the appeal of McWorld. ... The term Jihad means “holy war”, but Benjamin Barber uses it to engage societies that try to retreat to what he calls “tribalism”. ... These communities adhere to a much different lifestyle than McWorld, one in direct opposition to it, but not so far away from it as well.
Jihad is like McWorld’s evil twin brother, like in the bible Jihad is cast down into hell from McWorld always rearing for revenge. ... These communities are feeding off this energy put out by McWorld and using it to employ their own fundamentalist beliefs. Without McWorld, Jihad wouldn’t exist. Without Jihad, I think that McWorld would have had no problem from fulfilling its dream of global enterprises in all parts of the world. ... It is the time of McWorld.
