    Globalization refers to the increasing integration and interaction between people, companies, and governments around the world. It has been driven by advances in transportation and communication technologies that have compressed time and space, allowing people and information to move more freely across borders. Key aspects of globalization include the intensification of social, economic, and political relations across the world; the growing ease of movement for people, goods, capital, and information; and the increased flows of these things that shape events in distant locations.
