What is Globalization?

Globalization is described as a continuing process of economic, cultural, social, and


political changes in the world caused by the growing interdependence of countries
and their economies through the integration of trade, finance, labor, and ideas in one
global marketplace. Advancements in technology have diminished national and geo
political boundaries allowing for a transnational movement of goods, services and
capital throughout the globe. This global access of products and services has
contributed to the homogenization of world consumer tastes and trends, (World Bank,
2010; Guttal, 2007). Some examples of globalization would include the role of the
United Nations as detailed in the UN Charter,
“To achieve international cooperation in solving international problems of an
economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character”
