globalization

Yes, as the definition above states, globalization is the exchange of goods, services and ideas across national boundaries. What many people fail to realize is that globalization has been going on for hundreds of years. However, the rate at which globalization has been spreading has increased dramatically within the past two decades due to factors like technological advancements in communications.

Globalization does not make the rich richer and the poor poorer. This is a common myth held by many narrow-minded religious fanatics and ignorant people who don’t know the first thing about business. Anybody who has taken a basic introductory course in economics will realize why globalization works to both the more affluent as well as the poorer nations’ advantage.

There is a growing disparity, however, between nations that are not globalized and those that are becoming more globalized. A study conducted by the World Bank in 2005 proves that nations who have taken part in globalization have experienced a growth in education levels, as well as an increase in GDP and standard of living. On the other hand, their less-globalized counterparts suffered the reverse.

Globalization

Exportation of slavery.
Many manufacturing workers in China that produce western products are paid just enough to eat and drink. It's outright globalization!

The view that "globalization"—the dense interconnection of economies, cultures, and politics—is not an inevitable, natural force like the weather, but a political project built by specific policies. Trade agreements, container shipping standards, international financial regulations, and telecom treaties are the deliberate architectural plans. The "global village" feels like a reality, but it is a constructed infrastructure that could be built differently, or dismantled.
Example: "Your phone, with parts from 12 countries, feels like proof of 'natural' globalization. The Theory of Constructed Globalization points to the blueprint: the 1990s WTO agreements that slashed tariffs, the ISO shipping container specs, and the U.S. Navy's protection of sea lanes. This connectivity isn't gravity; it's a carefully engineered system. Calling it 'inevitable' just hides the power of the engineers."
