PART 1
Title: Globalisation, Cultural Perspectives, and
Biotechnological Boundaries
Introduction
The world today is increasingly interconnected through complex
social, economic, political, and technological networks—a
phenomenon broadly referred to as globalisation. As global
interactions intensify, cultural and ethical boundaries are also
tested and redefined. This essay explores the key features of
globalisation, the contrasting concepts of ethnocentrism and
cultural relativism with specific reference to post-earthquake
Haiti, and how developments in biotechnology, such as the
cloning of Dolly the sheep and assisted reproductive
technologies, challenge the traditional dichotomy between
nature and culture. Through these topics, we see how
anthropological insights help us understand a rapidly
transforming world.
