WHAT IS GLOBALIZATION?

Globalization is being able to share information through technology. It is the interaction between just about everything within the world that is mainly governed by economic systems. Globalization means the interaction within any company, business, government, and even within humans. Globalization has plenty of positive effects mainly because it allows anyone to share and interact quickly. It not only consists of sharing information but there is also the addition of selling items or even selling land. The best thing about globalization is the fact that it is between other cities, states, countries and this now creates an interdependency within each other. This can be a good and a bad thing, sometimes alliances are built. Some countries are at a disadvantage because they have not fully developed which does not enable them to have the interdependency that other countries have allowing them to create the best state of globalization.

Globalization is one of the best way to bring countries together because it allows each country to use each other efficiently. In present day, globalization is in full effect because modern day technology is becoming better and better, with the internet and how it helps the exchange of information. In many ways globalization can be a good thing because it is a great investment and it helps countries grow and become better through it.

" There is considerable concern worldwide that the explosion of the Internet may leave many nations far behind, producing growing disparities between advanced industrialized and developing societies," (Norris, 1). This might be one of the greatest concerns when it comes to globalization, when it comes to worldwide many of the countries do not have the advantages that some of the other countries. Although this might be a set back, I feel that the countries that are willing to utilize globalization help other countries get to the same level as well.
