Globalization, by definition means "Describes a process by which regional economics, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of communication, transportation and trade." That is the internets definition of Globalization. So basically taking everything about a civilization and making it global. So I guess an example of globalization is the internet because it is something that everyone in the world has access to and can see. It is a way to pass information and culture to different societies. An older example of globalization was the silk road. The silk road was a trade route throughout Europe and Asia and was used to trade goods. But not only did the silk road trade goods, it exchanged culture.
How has Globalization influences today's society? Well, I think thay globalization has really influenced today's society because we would be not be the same without it, we would not know as much as we do if we didn't have it. Without globalization their would be no wars because everyone would be extremely sheltered in their own little country. When you think about it, we woul know pretty much nothing. We wouldn't have all the history or language classes that we have, and math and science would be totally different with the philosophies and discoveries. Economics would be completely different. It is interesting to think about what all the economies would be like. Would they all be perfect and without a problem because what other countries would we be giving money to? Or would it be terrible because there is no one to give money to you?
When you weigh out the pros and cons about globalization, I would say that it does a LOT more good then bad. No one would be the same if there was no such thing as globalization.
