    The novel that I’ve read—Maximum ride: The Final Warning, by James Patterson is the fourth book in the series of Maximum Ride. The story is very detailed, and also very thrilling with an amazing climax. There are several main characters in this story: Iggy, Angel, Fang, Maximum—or Max, Nudge, Gasman—or as he preferred—Gazzy, and finally their dog—Total. Now these aren’t regular kids, and their dog isn’t very regular either. They were created in a lab, and had special abilities, but their major skill is that they all have wings, and they can all fly—except Total, his wings are still growing as he just got them. The flock—as they called their group has escaped from the lab they were originally created at called “The School”, and they were also unsure of their own ages.…

Globalization can be viewed as an improvement for society for many reasons driven by free-market capitalism. This super powered phenomenon can also be seen as a threat because it is an ideology or concept that is trying to advance the corporate agenda; in retrospect globalization is the contemporary form of capitalism. If globalization were to benefit or be advantageous to all people then it would be a great thing. It just needs to be geared in the right direction and there is no proof that it will or how long it will take.…
