I thought the text bubble to the upper right was interesting, "Globalization... constitutes a true cultural danger."  This made me think of the scene I saw on TV the other night of French officials smashing up "champagne" from California.  It was a very public display intended for the American "bootleggers".  How do you feel about the EU protecting food products like champagne, balsamic vinegar, parmesan cheese?  (All of these must be made in their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_designation_of_origin" rel="nofollow">regions of origin</a> to carry that name.) BTW, I bet you could find a syllabus online for a History 101 class in Europe and take that to Amazon.
