Giotto di Bondone

	The man who may have started the Italian Renaissance was not born in Florence. He was born in Vespignano in 1267. However, this was close enough to Florence that he came to impact the area eventually.
	Proclaimed later as the “first genius” of the Italian Renaissance, he wasn’t always the famous artist. His father was a small-time farmer and Giotto (as he was commonly referred to) helped out around the farm. One theory says that the start of the great artist came about as Giotto was sketching on a flat rock a picture of his father’s sheep one day. Cimabue, a well-known painter at the time, happened to come upon Giotto in his travels. He was so impressed with the young boy’s skill, he took him on as his pupil. Another possibly story is that Giotto frequented Cimabue’s studio so much that he was eventually allowed to study painting underneath the famed painter.
	Regardless of his origins, he went on to complete one of his earliest works:

# Obviously, this is just for fun. Definitely slow as hell.

    Globalism is a great idea. However, it's all in the execution. Connecting the world is a wonderful deed (and I hope to see it done soon), but I fear that we will lose our "cottage industry", so to speak. I want the world to be unified for the betterment of man, but I don't want to lose the friendly service and the connection to local businesses. Therefore, I cannot fully say that I support globalization.
    Human rights will definitely be (and already is) an issue. When outsourcing work to places with less stringent labor laws, companies are probably tempted to cut costs by cutting workplace rights. The only solution I can see is either some sort of global sanction against worker exploitation or consumers demanding moral business operations. Losing money during the labor process may be upsetting for companies, but losing money due to lack of sales will upset much more. Therefore, the businesses and the consumers are equally responsible.
    National security is an issue, but I am not overly concerned. I
