What is globalization (G11N)?
Globalization (G11N) refers to the gradual process of international integration that results from the exchange of ideas, views, products, services and other aspects of culture. This term describes the interplay of macro-social forces around the world, which include economics, religion and politics. Many people believe that technologies such as television, the internet, and social media have accelerated the pace of globalization.
Globalization is nothing new. It started happening as soon as people traveled long distances exchanging ideas, mixing cultures and trading goods. As technology has improved, this communication between cultures has accelerated and become more common. As a result, different groups of people become more similar than if they were different groups unable to interact with each other. Technology has also created a more globalized economy by creating more work that can be done anywhere there is a computer and internet connection.
