Globalization and Conflict

Identify the conflict. Is this an internal or external conflict? How/Why does globalization create conflict? In the speaker's opinion, globalization has flown in only one direction what does she mean by this? Although the speaker feels globalization has been one-sided, she notes there has been one benefit related to the process. What benefit does she mention? The speaker says Muslims and westerners live by/are obligated to two different sources of truth. What two sources (two texts) does she mention?

The conflict is that people in western society are very critical of the Muslim tradition and that they do not accept the traditions of Islamic women. This would be an external conflict.
Globalization causes conflict because western society is not accepting of other traditions or cultures. When she says that globalization has flown in one direction, she is saying that the Muslims generally accept our culture, but that we are not accepting of theirs.
The benefit that she mentions is that in the media, there are strong female role models to look up to.
The two sources that she mentions are the Quran and the Constitution.
