Define globalization

I have three things that come to my mind when I heard the term globalization, it is interconnectedness,
people, country, and if we connect those 3 words we will have a much more narrow definition.
Globalization is all about the interconnectedness of people across nations or borders. Advances in
technology like mobile phones, airplanes, telephones and the internet, have made the communication
networks possible as a result of globalization. Amongst other things, this means that people & countries
can exchange information and goods more quickly and in a less complicated way. Along with its pros of
course it has its cons, because of globalization, and the intense exchange of goods, people and the
environment often suffer. Globalization itself is neither good nor bad, it just depends how people deal
with all the new possibilities in the future.

Terrorism- because of the fast interaction and migration of people in the different parts of the world.
Terrorism has a great damage in the lives, livestock and in the social institution. (Siege of Marawi)

Fastfood chains (jolibee and mcdo)- Jolibee can only be found in the Philippines and it is an authentic
Filipino restaurant but as we all observed jolibee has gotten into the global market, selling foods in the
different parts of the world like USA, Indonesia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain to name a few.

Just like jolibee, mcdo before is only a local fast food chain in the US, but due to a higher demand of
public, it has grown and become a sensation fast-food industry, and almost every country operates
McDonalds.

Starbucks and apple are both American brands which have grown over to different parts of the world
due to public demand. STARBUCKS IS ONE ON THE MOST POPULAR CAFÉ THAT SERVES NOT ONLY COFFE
BUT ALSO BEVERAGES KAG BREAD AND PASTRIES. APPLE IS BEING POPULARIZED DUE TO ITS CLAIM NGA
IT HAS ONE OF THE BEST CAMERA NGA SMARTPHONES.

Its all about designs/styles nga Makita ta sang una and we will compare it sa present lain gid. So I can say
that designs are evolving and sometimes it doesn’t last long which is a trend as I have observed.
