 Tags: globalization, social mvmts/social change/resistance, political economy, global justice movement, mobilization, neoliberalism, power elite, global trade, wto, 21 to 60 mins Year: 2009 Length: 26:14 Access: pbs Summary: This is a PBS special on the 1999 Seattle Protests against the WTO. Drawing on interviews from local police,trade representatives, protestors, the mayor, and journalists present during the protests, this video analyzes the political and economic context of the WTO meetings and the actual conflicts in the street that ultimately shut down the meetings. It is a great example of the struggle over shaping globalization, including neoliberal globalization and the alter-globalization movement, and state repression of protestors. It offers a great way to discuss Kellner's concepts of globalization from above vs. globalization from below (discussed in "Theorizing Globalization"). Showing coalitions of labor groups, religious organizations, and social justice advocates, it is also a great illustration of social movement concepts, including moblization, framing, and opportunity structures.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him Leave a Reply. |
