The definition of globalisation is that goods and services travel much easier than it would be
compared to the past. Globalization is a term that can be used within political, economic and cultural
processes. Distance is not a problem for instance when talking about economic activities.

Economic activities and currency usually move much faster now around the countries than it did
many years ago. EU or EEA play a role in the economic globalization.

Furthermore, we also have cultural globalization which is everything related to culture such as ideas,
attitudes, values, characteristics and national products – have a more rapid movement across
national borders.

Lastly, political globalization can be seen as internalisation between nation state. An example of the
existence of globalization within politics, is the creation of United Nations that is a nongovernmental
organization that actively takes political actions with multiple of countries that are members of the
organization. We also have World Bank and WTO that are regional economic agreements.

There are tons of pros when talking about globalisation – the food from all around the world, the
products which are presented from other nations, the knowledge that we gain from others.
The cons can be that if there is too much of globalisation, it may occur a problem that the world will
become progressively more equal over time.
