Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness of economies, cultures, and markets across the world. It’s driven by technological advances, trade liberalization, foreign investment, and the rise of multinational corporations.

On the positive side, globalization has allowed countries to specialize in what they produce best, increasing efficiency and lowering prices.
