Meaning #2
• Globalization is a term used to describe how trade and technology have made the world a
more connected and interdependent place. Globalization also captures in its scope the
economic and social changes that have come about as a result. It may be pictured as the
threads of an immense spider web formed over millennia, with the number and reach of
these threads increasing over time.

Meaning #3

• Literature about globalization is produced by sociologists, political theorists, economists,

historians, anthropologists, and journalists. Globalization is a term variously employed,
even by experts within a single discipline. There is substantial debate, not only about its
definition, but also about its significance, and how it shapes our world. Most agree that
globalization rests upon, or simply is, the growth in international exchange of goods,
services, and capital, and the increasing levels of integration that characterize economic
activity.

• Globalization is a social, total, irreversible, and accelerated phenomenon. It is also a

phenomenon that transforms all dimensions of life; it is visible in everyday uses and
customs. The term globalization is widely used and names the shape of our contemporary
world. It means we are now living in a deeply and increasingly interconnected, mobile,
and hasty society driven by technology. Globalization is the name of our contemporary
world -society since the early 1990s.

countries have become dependent on one another.
