Globalization (or globalisation) describes a process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of communication, transportation, and trade. The term is sometimes used to refer specifically to economic globalization: the integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, and the spread of technology. However, globalization is usually recognized as being driven by a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural, political, and biological factors. The term can also refer to the transnational circulation of ideas, languages, or popular culture through acculturation.

A. People around the world are more connected to each other than ever before. Information and money flow quicker than ever. Products produced in one part of a country are available to the rest of the world. It is much easier for people to travel, communicate and do business internationally.

It has also been encouraged by trade liberalization and financial market deregulation. Globalization offers a higher standard of living for people in rich countries and is the only… [cont.]

A. Globalization has at least two major effects on technology: 1. It helps technologists push forward the cutting edge frontier of technology -- this is innovation. When jobs are outsourced to another country, then engineers and programmers are freed up to move up the food chain and do what people in developing nations cannot do -- create and invent new technology (you might also say they have to do this to stay employed). This causes a continuous cycle of innovation, and is why the U.S. utterly dominates technology innovation. 2. It pushes down the cost of existing technology, so that it can be more widespread, and more people can benefit from it. Usually the only reason companies outsource is to reduce the cost of labor. This reduces the… [cont.]

  • "Globalization" is a horrible term, in the sense that it encompasses all kinds of things; it's used very widely and vaguely.
  • Projects to stop the spread of AIDS have tried to establish protective boundaries ... by requiring HIV tests in order to cross national boundaries. The boundaries of nation-states, however, are increasingly permeable by all kinds of flows. Nothing can bring back the hygienic shields of colonial boundaries.
