According to Naomi Klein's article "Don't Fence Us In"
https://www.globalpolicy.org/globalization/defining-globalization/48046-dont-fence-us-in.html
1. What is Klein's main argument in "Don't Fence Us In"?
2. Why do you think Klein decided to use a metaphor (the fence) to discuss the issues she covers in this article?
3. According to Klein, what are some good fences? What are some bad fences?
4. Do you agree with Klein (and Greenfield) that "the current stage of capitalism is not simply about trade in the traditional sense of selling more products across borders? It is also about feeding the market's insatiable need for growth by redefining as 'products' entire sectors that were previously considered part of 'the commons' and not for sale"? How does Klein support this claim?
5. How does Klein acknowledge, and deal with, those who might see her metaphor as "extreme"?
6. How does Klein say protesters at globalization summits push back against fences? Does she say they are even looking for power themselves? How does she describe the "parallel universe" they create?
