The effects of Globalization
1. Less Job Security
In the global economy jobs are becoming more
temporary and insecure.
2. Damage to the Environment
• More trade means more transport which uses more
fossil fuels and causes pollution.
• Climate change is a serious threat to our future.
3. Cultural Impact
• Websites such as YouTube connect people across
the planet. As the world becomes more unified,
diverse cultures are being ignored.

Causes of Globalization
1. Improved Communications
The development of communication
technologies such as Internet, email and
mobile phones have been vital to the growth
of globalization because they help machines
and devices to operate throughout the world.
2. Improved Transport
The development of refrigerated and
container transport, bulk shipping and
improved air transport has allowed the easy
mass movement of goods throughout the
world.
Causes of Globalization
3. Free Trade Agreements
International organisations such as the World
Trade Organisation and the IMF also promote
free trade.
4. Global Banking
Modern communication technologies allow
vast amounts of capital to flow freely and

CONCLUSIONS
According to the foregoing analysis, globalization is not merely an
intensification of global interconnectedness brought about by market
forces and technological change. Rather, it is a worldview shaped by
capital and hegemonic power that aspires to establish a global
system in line with the interests of capital. Capitalism, as a market-
oriented system of production, has an inherent globalizing tendency.
