What is Globalization?

GLOBALIZATION , as defined by the business dictionary, is the worldwide


movement toward economic, financial, trade, and communications
integration. This movement resulted to the formation of the global village.
The global village would have something to do with interactions relating to
the exchange of goods, use of transportation for business, development of
technology to support the expanding transactions, integration of investment,
and flow of international trade.

Communication and Globalization

In communication, globalization would mean the increase in the social


connectedness of the expansion of one’s social community and the mutual
reliance or dependence of peoples and nations; the evolution of a language
that could be understood by most countries; and the development of the
global communication skills or the ability to send message across cultures
through four macro skills (e.g. speaking, listening, reading, and writing) and
the use of non- verbal communication. Developing one’s global
communication can lead to cultural diversity. CULTURAL DIVERSITY refers to
people from different cultures or nations respecting each other’s differences.
