HARDWIRED
Our basic human need to make our lives better made globalization
possible (Nayan Chanda, 2007). Chanda mentioned that commerce,
religion, politics, warfare are the "urges" of people toward a better life.

These are respectively connected to aspects of globalization:


• trade
• missionary work
• adventures and
• conquest.
CYCLES
Globalization is a long-term cyclical process and thus, finding
its origin will be a daunting task. What is important is the
cycles that globalization has gone through (Scholte, 2005). .

Eventually, today's globalization will soon be replaced by a new one.


PHASES
Globalization is a series of historical phases or
waves, each with its own point of origin.

Globalization functions as growing


connectivity.
