glocalization

Describes the notion that technological advances (telephony, internet, air travel, etc.) have effectively decreased perceived distance between people such that one's social network can be global and feel local.

I thought when my sister moved to the East coast for college that we'd lose contact, but since we IM every day and talk on the cell phone, it's like she still lives in the house.

That's glocalization, dude!

I hope y'all fuckers enjoy Globerization.

The Grobalization of Singapore Math

When both local and foreign math publishers in Singapore—with the backing of government-linked businesses or organizations, and positive feedback from thousands of homeschoolers overseas—aim to influence or impose their ways of teaching and learning elementary school math around the world—they desire to grow in power and profits to an eager global audience that is keen to emulate Singapore’s math success at home.

Just as the principles of McDonaldization has been applied to the church and religion, mathepreneurs aren’t shy to apply the grobalization of Singapore math to colonize math education around the globe.
