As they are mostly opposites, probably it's their concepts tension that makes us be aware and realize the differences on which we are moving through; although this tension should not necessarily means conflict. I will try to approach to Globalization (the "concept") walking on the same street Constructivist (1) theorists do. You may call me idealistic, but I do believe in finding the cause rather than accepting/analyzing the effects, in a way that we can get clear on our values and develop our resources, in other words, noticing that our reality is form from our consciousness (perception) of it; which somehow involves our own-selves (our identity as individuals) definitions.
