How have you experienced globalization? Please provide concrete situations or examples.
Describe that experience.

Globalization is a concept that describes the changes that have occurred in societies and the
global economy as a result of increased trade and cultural exchange. It almost exclusively refers to the
effects of trade, especially trade liberalization or "free trade" in economic contexts.

It is a huge belief that globalization only affects international trade and commerce; however, it
has also had a significant impact on making our lives far more comfortable. Globalization has made
electronics, clothes, toys, and accessories more accessible to us. We are all affected by globalization,
whether we realize it or not, and it has aided in introducing world peace and justice to mankind.

Globalization has been defined by some commentators as a stage of capitalism or late


modernity, while others have said that it is a new way of thinking. It does not, however, mean the same
thing to everybody. For others, globalization is a process of opening up the economy to allow free trade
between countries. According to them, increased globalization has helped nations expand their
opportunities and benefited workers in both rich and poor countries. It has also benefited customers by
- choice, driving down costs, improving services, and creating new jobs and opportunities. As a result,
globalization can be viewed as a constructive force for progress with the potential to improve living
standards and propel economies forward.

How have you experienced globalization?

Globalization is the worldwide movement of people, ideas, resources, products, data, drugs,
guns, computer and biological viruses, greenhouse gases, and more that we encounter every day,
knowingly or unknowingly.

Increased cross-border data transfer by the use of Internet, communication satellites, and
telephones. Just like in my phone, where I'm thinking about the global teamwork that went into making
it. It enables billions of people to connect with friends and access news from around the world - to
communicate with people from all over the world; to stay up to date on local and international news;
and to be entertained by various types of entertainment from various countries. Cell phones have made
it possible to link people from all over the world in ways that have never been possible before. People
can also interact through a variety of channels, such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, and
Snapchat. CNN and other global news networks contribute to the spread of awareness. If not through
live broadcast, then via continuous alerts to online news outlets, global news is posted almost instantly.

Another aspect of globalization is food. Indian cuisine isn't only confined to the subcontinent.
Instead, we can eat Indian delicacies in America, Europe, and beyond. Certain cultural affinities may
begin with a single delectable dish and then progress to other areas of cultural intrigue. The same can
be said for Japanese restaurants, which can be found in any city. Samgyeopsal is well-known today due
to its distinct method of preparation and consumption, as well as the influence of Korean dramas and
films, which sparked the interest of many locals and Filipinos in general, who spent more time watching
K-Dramas. Milk tea shops can be found in Iligan (milk tea originated in Taiwan and spread across the
cities and suburbs of the U.S. in the 1990s; however, it did not become popular until the 2000s).
