Answer:
We are forging an awareness of our existence as a single entity. Nations are incorporating technology into the fabric of their economics, politics, culture and international relations. Because of our global information system, people of different psychological and cultural orientations — whether Silicon Valley computer genius or member of an Amazon tribe — are forced into a shared globalized context.
Globalization is the gradual process of the world shrinking as people of different nations, cultures and religions know more about one another. Western ideas and modes of living are seeping into the fabric of the world. The American baseball cap is now worn from Tahiti to Timbuktu. McDonald’s is ubiquitous.
At its core, globalization is not about communications technology; it’s about personal identity. It goes to the psychological foundations of a people. It is the process of realizing that wherever we come from, from now on, we are “one people” with one destiny.
This is the greatest transition in world history. If pursued wisely and cooperatively, globalization represents the world’s best chance to enrich the lives of the greatest number of people.
