SO what is globalization? It is the assimilation of people, societies and cultures from many different parts of the world into one society, culture and own world. Globalization is possible through transportaion and new forms of communication. For example, as technology in transportation has imporoved greatly, tranveling across the globe seems less of a hassle. If I wanted to in about 2 days I can find myself in Tokyo. It is through the improvements in technology and the time it takes to travel across the world has greatly increased, so the number of people travelling have certainly increased.
When people travel to-and-fro in between different countries they also exchange many ideas. For example the whole concept of sushi from Japan, Bollywood Dancing in SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and more, are all due to globalization. People traveling and exploring new ideas may find some interesting and bring them back to their country and the whole new concept might just assimilate.
In High School, I remmeber being one of the very few people if not the only from India. At a dance show my friend and I danced to some bollywood songs. Many of my friends and peers enjoyed the songs, asked me names of it and now they listen to and follow bollywood music. This is a small scale globalization. I feel globalization is a great way for different cultures from across the world to come together.
