No one denies the great role of American empire culturally, economically and politically via its dual globalization around the world. The physical globalization of America is that which allows America to expand its empire physically and not virtually. One of the American physical globalization is Physical economic exchange. There were such arrangements facilitating American economic leadership like International monetary fund, the World Bank, and recently the meetings of leading economic powers that are known as the group of eight. Another is Physical cultural exchange like changing the education system of Iraq by US soldier's presence in Iraq. So they are not expanding their own cultural ideals through net but by physical occupation of Iraq. They also do this by exporting cultural materials like Hollywood films around the world .The role of American globalization in physical world like in Iraq and Afghanistan is not less important than its role in virtual world. The presence of American soldiers on those areas is not just physically .Meeting their initial goals, they changed even the system of education in Iraq Imposing their own cultural ideal like democracy. The role of virtual empire of America is also noticeable. The emerging of e-learning, vast amount of virtual education, granting scholarship are things that can't be denied.Infact, America is also encouraging people around the world to live in its promising land via virtual advertisement like through granting green-card. When you look at the advertisements on internet you will find much of Amercans'empire on virtual world. They even want to expand their cultural behavior through the virtual world, like what you can see on internet and thorough the pictures of their advertisements, though they want to expand their ideals by physical presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact, American individualism requires expanding their ideas around the world and globalization has come to help it. They believe that they are the superior nation and their ideas should be taught in the less civilized nation, globalization is a helpful means for them. By the examples of physical and virtual globalization above, we can understand that the two types of globalization i.e. virtual and real are somehow merging together, ina way that is hardly distinguishable.

McCain playing Offense against Obama on last debate                             

 

CNN, 15 OCTOBER, 20008                  

                                                                                                                                                  .

The third and final debate took place at Hofstra University in Hempstead New York on Wednesday 15th of October. The debate According to Research polls on the final debate between the two candidates, 40 percent of the sample debate- watchers were Democrats and 30 percent were Republicans.31 percent of watchers said McCain has done his best while 58 percent said Obama has.  McCain questioned Obamas' character, economic and domestic policies and judgment.Obama told I am the one who can bring sweeping changes to America while relating McCain to Bush. McCain answered I will be distinct from Bush.Maccain put pressure on Obama that he should explain his relationship with Ayers fully, the leading member of radical weather underground who was engaged in bombings of capital and pentagon in 1970s .McCain made Obama reject what Republican Lewis said comparing McCain to segregation list George Wallace. McCain frequently talked about Obamas' tax policies and "Joe the plumber", a man who encountered Obama in Holland, Ohio and asked him about the American dream. So McCain accused Obama that he will spread the wealth around .Obama s' answer was that "both of us will cut taxes but I will do it more than you." The two candidates also talked about abortion, an issue which was not talked about before.Maccain said I don't believe in a judge who supports Joe. Wade Act, an act which legalized abortion. He accused Obama BEING Pro abortion .But Obama answered nobody is pro-abortion. In fact, Obama believe in sex education to youth as a way to reduce unwanted pregnancies and teach adults that sexuality is sacred.

It was the best chance for McCain to turn the tide .The debate was full of accusations against Obama .Although McCain was successful in bringing so many doubts about Obama But still Obama is the winner.  In a situation which shows that Obama is closer to presidency, Maccain is referring to Ayers 'group to turn voters' attention to the rumor that Obama is a terrorist. In fact the only thing which can now plays a significant role to turn the tide for McCain is that Obama considered to be a terrorist .Linking Obama to terrorist groups can imply that he is another Bin Laden. McCain is using the word terrorist which has been an old word to Americans used frequently by republican Bush .and again the issue of terrorism is brought forth. The word terrorism is a frightening and dangerous word for Americans. It may even change their minds about Obama.Obama was 8 -years-old when Ayers bombed pentagon. It was Obamas'answer. Comparing McCain to Wallace may be also decisive for black's .Lewis implication that McCains'being a pro-segregation is dangerous for blacks  and this frightens McCain.

Genealogy experts said that Sarah Palin, republican vice presidential nominee, is distantly related to Princess Diana and President Franklin Roosevelt. According to researchers palin and Roosevelt are ninth cousins and their ancestor is John Lothrop who was an English puritan Presbyterian minister and emigrated to America and died in Massachuset in 1653.Palin is also related to Princess Diana and they share ancestry with John Strong who was an Englishman emigrating to America and died in massachuset in 1699.Last year also Lynne Cheney, the wife of Dick Cheney said that Dick Cheney is a distant cousin of Barrack Obama. Researchers also said that Obama is a distant cousin of actor brad Pitt.

 

It will be a good policy for republicans to win the election by relating Sarah Palin to a figure like Franklin Delano Roosevelt who was once president of USA .Roosevelt saved somehow America from THE Great Depression of 1930s and the crash of stocks by his New Deal programs. And now that America is facing such economic crisis like 1930s, it may be a good policy to suggest that Republicans will solve this economic crisis. Moreover Roosevelt was a very devoted christens who believed so much on helping the poor. So it is implying that Palin is an appropriate candidate.
