development and integration.

3. What metaphors are you going to use (aside from solid & liquid, flows) in order to
improve your own definition of globalization? Enumerate at least 2 and explain one of
them.
- Globalization is like a wind mill. The world is the machine and the wind
are the people who are continuously thinking and working so that the
wind mill can continue to rotate. Wind mills are used as electricity and
that electricity is needed by every person in the world so the things that
the Globalization provided to us every year are needed.

- Globalization is like an armpit. Not all armpits are perfect so it means

that the things that the Globalization is giving to us every year is good
for us sometimes it is also bad. There is a phrase in the pdf that says
“Globalization is a debate and debate is Globalization” because there are
pros and cons in every update in the world.
