Answer the following question. (200 – 300 words)

1. Have you experience globalization?

- Yes, because we have been in a pandemic for almost three years and the education
strategy is to use gadgets. You may be surprised to find that many of our everyday
products are related to globalization. The clothes we wear, the food we eat, even the
film we watch at the cinema have probably been affected by this concept.
Globalization has had many obvious effects on educational technology and
communication systems, changing the way education is delivered as well as the roles
played by both teachers and students. The advancement of this technology is assisting
the shift from an industrial to an information-based civilization. Globalization
improves the ability of students to acquire and apply knowledge. Learners' ability to
access, assess, adapt, and apply knowledge is enhanced by globalization. They can
think independently to make appropriate judgments and collaborate with others to
make sense of new situations. Globalization also refers to the integration of people,
businesses, and governments. This integration takes place on a worldwide basis,
which is very noteworthy. Furthermore, it is the process of extending the company
globally. Many businesses expand abroad and adopt an international image as a result
of globalization.

2. Is there any difference between globalization and globalism? Yes or no and why?

- The spread of products, investment, and technology across national borders and
cultures is referred to as globalization. Globalism is a system of interactions between
governments and multinational corporations that extends beyond national borders.

Globalization refers to the worldwide push toward economic, financial, trade, and
communications integration, whereas integration refers to the drive toward economic,
financial, trade, and communications integration. Globalization is often regarded as one
of the most important drivers of technological advancement in today's organizations.
Globalization has little impact on our way of life; it is primarily used for corporate
purposes.
Although the terms globalization and globalism are frequently used interchangeably,
there is a distinction to be made. Globalization is the process of increasing the
interconnectedness and interdependence of many sections of the world, including
cultures, governments, economics, and people. Globalism, on the other side, is the
concept that the world should be viewed as a single entity. Globalization can bring
people together in positive ways, allowing them to learn about other cultures and
improving the world via information and study, but it can also have negative
consequences.
