Globalization has a long history, for example, Ancient Greek culture was spread across much of
southwestern Asia, northern Africa, and southern Europe. Popular culture has also become more
globalized. People in the United States enjoy listening to South African music and reading
Japanese comic books. American soap operas are popular in Israel. There has also been an
increasing exchange of foods across the globe. People in England eat Indian curry, while people
in Peru enjoy Japanese sushi. Meanwhile, American fast food chains have become common
throughout the world. McDonald's has more than 37,000 restaurants in over 100 countries. And
people all across the world are eating more meat and sugary foods, like those sold in fast food
restaurants. Cultural and economic globalization have caused countries to become more
connected politically. Countries frequently cooperate to enact trade agreements. They work
together to open their borders to allow the movement of money and people needed to keep
economic globalization working. Many problems facing the world today cross national borders,
so countries must work together to solve them. Efforts to confront problems such as
global climate change must involve many different countries. In 2009, representatives from 170
countries gathered at a conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, to discuss climate change. Other
international issues include terrorism, drug trafficking, and immigration.
Globalization is associated with rapid and significant human changes. The movements of people
from rural to urban areas has accelerated, and the growth of cities in the developing world
especially is linked to substandard living for many.
The process of globalization is very controversial. Many people say globalization will help
people communicate. The term “Globalization” has been widely used in the last fifteen years. It
is a controversial term and has been defined in several different ways. Globalization indicates
that the world today is more interconnected than before. Globalization in its basic economic
sense refers to the adoption of open and unfettered trading markets (through lowering of trade
barriers, removal of capital controls, and liberalization of foreign exchange restrictions). Large
volumes of money movement, increased volumes of trade, changes in information technology
and communication are all integral to a global world. There is also a significant movement of
people from one country to another for trade and work. Such increases in the movement of
goods, labor, and services have weakened national barriers and restrictions that are imposed by a
nation state.
