Abstract
The purpose of this article is to describe the competing dramas of globalization and local, place-based development. Kenneth Burke's terms for order provide a method for analyzing and evaluating the implications of each of these dramas on critical thought and free speech. The dramas embody differing hierarchical relationships, structures of authority and views regarding free speech and expression. Since the protests in Seattle in December 1999, public discourse about globalization has shifted to include concepts of local development emphasizing issues of environmental protection, national sovereignty, and human rights, especially free expression, and association. As these dramas unfold, they offer the promise of a new synthesis rooted in values of active citizens, critically engaged with one another to make decisions that respect people and place.
