In the wake of the September 11th attacks on the United States, there has been an outcry in the media over the economic, social, and political rights of individuals in less developed nations. The need to integrate developing nations into the global economy has been called for, not only for sheer humanitarian reasons, but also as a means to prevent catastrophic actions by those who feel left out when it comes to globalization.
