Answer 1

There is no definite answer to this question.Everyone will have different opinions on this.

Answer 2

I realize that it has become quite a buzz-word, but I'll apply the Humpty Dumpty theory of linguistics: "When I use a word, it means exactly what I tell it to mean, neither more nor less."

Globalization in my vocabulary is the realization that we have a global economy. It's not an ideal for the future, it is a fact. Now. The Internet is much of the reason, but not all of it. Also very significant is the worldwide courier services of UPS and FedEx and all that. The first layer of this economy is the big and glossy and world-wide sales of brand name everything. Everywhere, if you can pay the shipping and any tariffs.

The second layer is the cottage industry level, both electronically (often supported by generators run on stationary bicycles) and in the low-tech world. For example, due to the global economy, the otherwise low-tech Bali hand-dyed fabrics are available to eager quilters all over America and Europe. The advantage to creative processes from that one very simple fact of our economy is enough to show that money is not the only point to a global economy.

Continuing to use fabric as the example, there are also incredible fabrics coming out of Africa, and Japan, and everywhere. I have page after page of accurately colored photos of swatches in a single catalog Hancock's of Paducah (Kentucky, USA) can afford to mail out free, they are that successful. Globalization is also apparent in the pattern department, where design ideas, traditional costumes, sewing techniques and tools, are now shared around the world. We get the best of everything this way!

Globalization in a free market economy can mean incredible wealth production, just by moving things from where they are common and well known, and therefore not expensive, to where they are unusual and interesting, or even necessary to development, and therefore worth more than they are at home.

Globalization is really all about communication and transportation. Commerce. Prosperity. NOT letting the politicians get in the way. Libertarian, in short.

Answer 3

Wow.

That's insane.

I was planning on asking a question about this considering i'm about to write an essay and wanted to include it.

Anyway, globalization is the spread of a certain ideology. I believe that the US is trying to spread liberal/capitalist values to every country. And i don't know if that will really work out because i don't believe that liberalism is the BEST of all political ideologies. I think it depends on society and i feel that you can't just offer freedom to anybody and expect that they'll know what to do with it.

So basically, globalization is the spread of a certain political ideology that is deemed more suitable than others.

It's a form of... world unity, per se.
