A Simple Globalization Definition
Globalization means the speedup of movements and
exchanges (of human beings, goods, and services, capital,
technologies, or cultural practices) all over the planet. One
of the effects of globalization is that it promotes and
increases interactions between different regions and
populations around the globe.
An Official Definition of Globalization by the World
Health Organization (WHO)
According to WHO, globalization can be defined as “the
increased interconnectedness and interdependence of
peoples and countries. It is generally understood to
include two inter-related elements: the opening of
international borders to increasingly fast flows of
goods, services, finance, people, and ideas;
and the changes in institutions and policies
at national and international levels that
facilitate or promote such flows.”
 THE BENEFITS OF GLOBALIZATION

Globalization has benefits that cover many different areas. It

reciprocally developed economies all over the world and
increased cultural exchanges. It also allowed financial
exchanges between companies, changing the paradigm of
work. Many people are nowadays citizens of the world. The
origin of goods became secondary and geographic distance is
no longer a barrier for many services to happen.

Globalization And Education: Challenges And
Opportunities
People can only contribute and benefit from globalization if
they endowed with knowledge, skills and with the capabilities
and rights needed to pursue their basic livelihoods. They need
employment and incomes, and a healthy environment. These are
the essential conditions which empower them to participate
fully as citizens in their local, national and global
communities. These goals, can only be reached if
national governments allocate adequate
resources to education, basic infrastructure and the
environment, and create the institutional
framework which ensures broad access and
opportunity.
 In order to integrate into the world economy, people must not
only acquire the knowledge and tools of traditional knowledge, but
above all, they must be capable of acquiring new skills demanded by
a knowledge society. Indeed, the resulting rapid change in
technological and scientific knowledge make learning a permanent
process, a lifelong learning process in the words of the Report of the
International Commission on Education for the 21st Century to
UNESCO, entitled: Learning, the treasure within.
 Lifelong learning is based on the following four
fundamental precepts:

 Famous Globalization Quotes
Bill Clinton, former U.S. president. “No generation has had the opportunity,
as we now have, to build a global economy that leaves no-one behind. It is a
wonderful opportunity, but also a profound responsibility.”
Ulrich Beck, German Sociologist. “Globalization is not only something that
will concern and threaten us in the future, but something that is taking place
in the present and to which we must first open our eyes.”
Julia Gillard, Prime Minister of Australia. “My guiding principle is
that prosperity can be shared. We can create wealth together. The
global economy is not a zero-sum game.”
The Beatles, famous band. “Imagine there’s no countries.
It isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. And no
religion, too. Imagine all the people. Living life in peace.
You, you may say I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only
one. I hope someday you will join us. And the world will
be as one.”
