globalization

Globalization is a term used to describe a global society of people connected by commerce, trade, diplomacy and technology. The internet has enabled virtually anyone, anywhere in the world the means of accessing information and therefore our world has, figuratively become smaller.

On an economic level, the conception of globalization influences international currencies and exchange rates in support of global rather than local economies. One of the clearest manifestations of economic globalization takes place in terms of transnational corporation.

Globalization also pertains to the increased need for cultural awareness and sensitivity, as our accessibility to various cultural practices and languages is facilitated by international travel, the internet and currency exchange.
