Alter vs Anti

As most people who know me know, I am not into ‘anti’ things. It’s just not my style. I much prefer looking at positive alternatives and giving people positive options. This might explain my lack of interest in ‘anti-globalisation’, even though I don’t disagree with the anti-globalisation beefs about the globalisation movement. However, while reading articles in the french wikipedia, I came across a discussion of ‘altermondialism’ or alterglobalism, which is the current french term for anti-globalism. The idea is that it’s important to offer positive alternative positions to the positions taken up by the globalists. This is much more appealing to me.
