INTRODUCTION Over history the world has undergone massive transformations and has become increasingly globalised. According to BBC, globalisation is the manner by which “the world is becoming increasingly interconnected as a result of massively increased trade and cultural exchange” (Bbc.co.uk, 2014.) Globalisation has been achieved through liberalised immigration policies, the influence of cooperations, ‘mass consumer culture’ and increased international trade.
In our contemporary world now, modern technologies are spread very quickly and efficiently. In it includes economic globalization which is the spread of trade, transportation and communication systems around the world in the interest of improving the e-commerce. However, there are negative aspects associated with economic globalization such as disparity, economic turmoil and dangers to our sustainable and prosperous planet.

Introduction In the past 20-30 years and even nowadays, the term “globalization” keeps lingering around our ears. Definitions of “globalization” have long been diversified but it is mainly related to economics, so most people treat it as the development on or the changes of human welfare in different countries due to the economic integration of the world, under which goods, services and capital are more mobile. Economic globalization, as a result, has benefited a wide range of international issues, including trade of goods and services, labor transference, development of multinational firms, education (as mental capital investment), poverty reduction, to name but a few. Although economic globalization benefits the world in many sides, some poor countries claim that such benefits are enjoyed by the rich countries
The assigned source focuses on Thomas Friedman’s perspective on the history of globalization and how globalization has affected the progression of the world. According to the National Geographic, globalization is a term used to describe how trade and technology have made the world into a more connected and interdependent place. Thomas Friedman says that there were 3 eras of globalization, Globalization 1.0, which began in 1942, Globalization 2.0 and Globalization 3.0 which started in the 2000’s. He states that with each era, the world became smaller and smaller and by Globalization 3.0 the world became tiny. This best refers to how communication, business and trade becomes more innovative, the world becomes more connected.
3. Globalization Throughout the last decades, globalization became a real phenomenon, but history tells us that it is actually not a new social, historical phenomena, but has, under different names and manifestations, been with us for a long time. It is actually not only the continuation of the liberalization of international trade, which began in the mid-19th century with the launch of cross-border trade over long distances and later with intensive large-scale mobility of labor and capital. During capitalism, globalization has amplified due to the lust for profit, which is driven by capitalists across the globe. Indeed, globalization has significantly strengthened ever since.
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. The most common example of globalization might be Ebay or Amazon. Nowadays flows of goods and services are not only cheap and fast, but reliable and secure.
Globalization The modern concept of globalization, and the first appearance of this concept in 1995, and there are several reasons led to the emergence of this concept, and most important of these reasons is the collapse of the Soviet Union. Where the concept of globalization is a comprehensive concept featuring various aspects of life for this we have to define globalization: For several definitions of the concept of globalization, due to the different views about it, this is the most important definition that the essence of the process of globalization is to ease the movement of people, information, and goods between countries, on international scale.

The term “Globalization” has been in existence for the past 50 years. It is one of the major causes of the increase in international trade. The Oxford Dictionary defined Globalization as “the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or operate on an international scale”. It is a phenomenon that has been in the front burner for several years. Certain individuals opine that it serves as an advantage for the developing countries to compete in the global market while others were of the opinion that it favors the developed countries by making them richer (Giddens, A. 1999).
In the late 1980s, globalization theory started to emerge as the new forms of capitalist hegemony appeared (Savage, Bagnall and Longhurst, 2004). Globalization is a process of encouraging closer political, economic, social interaction and break down or reducing the trade barriers between countries (Mittelman, 2000). It can be divided into two main categories: globalization of markets and globalization or production. Globalization of markets is a process of the worldwide market integration and has created a global market place (due to countries are reducing trade barriers). For example, in this 21st century, products that we consume or access are no longer from just one person, company or place but globally as the presence of the global market
GLOBALIZATION, TECHNOLOGY AND LAW Globalization and Technology Globalization has completely transformed the way in which the world and its people interact. Earlier there were several roadblocks in the ability to communicate and interact with the people worldwide. But now, the world is becoming more and more globalized in all spheres: Business, financial, social, economical, etc. Over the years, a lot of technological advancements have come into picture including the changes in the field of Information Technology, having a significant impact on the global landscape.
One major problem or consequence globalization has brought is the increasing internationalization of health risks. Though globalization has many dimensions to be defined with, which includes economic, technological, political, social, scientific and cultural aspects, the links between globalization and health are complex and globalization is a multifaceted phenomenon that can affect health in countless ways. Its consequences can be either direct, at the level of whole populations, individuals and healthcare delivery systems, or indirect, through the economy and other factors, such as education, sanitation and water supply (Woodward et al, 2001). To focus on those risks to health or the problem to the world, it is realized that the central
But some scholars also claim that “Globalization” is a new trend which technically emerged only in modern times or during the 20th century. However, the fact is that “Globalization” took place as a process of mobilization of human capital, travel, cultural exchange, free trade and modernization. Over the years the trend of globalization has seen some basic changes, which is the topic of this essay. This essay is about the difference between the trend of globalization in 20th century and 21st century. The trend of globalization in 20th century and 21st century differs in the following way:
GLOBALIZATION AND THE THIRD WORLD (A LIBERALIST PERSPECTIVE) According to Baylis, J., el (2008), globalization is the widening, deepening and speeding up of worldwide interconnectedness. Giddens, A. (1990) defines globalization as the intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa. According to Brown, G.W. (2008) it encompasses a growing interconnection between peoples, nations, cultures governments, environments, economies and indeterminate global networks that are ultimately bound by the spherical shape of the earth. It is the product of liberal theory as echoed by Brown, G.W. (2008) who states that radical thinkers
Globalization is a very intricate and expansive concept and there is no universal agreed definition about it; but it can be considered as the process of international integration, which arises from the exchange and trade amongst different countries, of products, commodities, capitals, ideas, views, mutual sharing, and other aspects of culture. It is important to point out that globalization has completely altered the way in which the world operates, and that it has slowly become ingrained in all fields. Valuable lessons from history show that globalization is not a new phenomenon, and that it has not been a smooth process. It has often been characterized, in fact, by periods of accelerated integration (as in the 19th and second half of 20th
