2. Using visual representation, create your generalizations and discuss:

What is globalization? How would you define globalization?

Visual Concept: Travel Routes

Visualizing a world map featuring lines connecting cities and countries. These lines represent the
routes that individuals take when traveling by plane. Some lines are short, such as those
connecting a town to a nearby city, while others are long, such as those connecting one side of
the world to the other. This map illustrates globalization, which indicates that the world is
becoming huge, interconnected neighborhood in which individuals and perspectives can easily
move around. This concept proves that we can make difference or change through evolving in
particular of technology which can contribute for businesses, governments that will allow us to
communicate, trade and collaborate far more than before. It makes our lives accessible without
hindrance to communicate someone outside and nearby as well as traveling to experience
different cultures for free and to experience how the world act and witness the improvement
across borders.
In simplest terms, globalization signifies that the world is becoming more connected, with
factors that involve technology, trade, and communication adding individuals and perspectives
from across the world closer together. The map or travel route shows the definition of
globalization like compressing the world and making it more accessible so that we can all share
and learn from one another.
