How strong is your distinction between terms like “local” and “global”?

Phoenix they are really good I love it, I listened to a few of their songs, was it “super theory of everything” lol.
I love the term global village, the internet makes us all locals.
I have never been outside my own country so my image of the rest of the globe is very indistinct.
I am beginning to visualize time zones around the globe as I imagine a place.
Great link I will go back soon & feast on some more

………………

Global is the more easily defined term -encompassing the whole world, spanning the globe.
Local is a more subjective term -to some it’s a very small area around them, to others their particular State or Country or Continent. The one thing we know for sure is that it’s NOT global, but some smaller portion of the world.

(Editing of that song is strange -notice how quickly the young lady appears to be switching back and forth between the cymbals and the large drum)

…………..

Local refers to subjectivity, a narrow specific viewpoint. or a self motivated ideal.
Global means objective, from the worlds viewpoint or an overview. Whats best for the world at large.
All things have a subjective and objective perspective.
I call it the paradox of life.
We can make decisions on the basis of whether we choose to view an issue from a local or global perspective.

…………

‘Local’ is the spatial volume in which I spend the majority of my time. Global, for me, is the entire Universe.
