Before I continue in this debate, I feel the need to define the following key terms: Conflict defined by Webster’s College Dictionary as- to be contradictory, at variance, or in opposition Globalization defined by Webster’s College Dictionary as - to extend to other or all parts of the globe; make worldwide Ought defined by dictionary.com as - used to indicate obligation or duty Value defined by Webster’s College Dictionary as - favorable regard Above defined by Webster’s College Dictionary as - superior in rank, authority, or standing to National Sovereignty defined by Webster’s College Dictionary as - of, pertaining to, or belonging to a nation; supreme and independent power or authority in a state Observation 1: One observation must be established in this debate.
