Globalization
As cited in the Revisitadestatica (2012), the
term globalization refers to the emergence of
an international network, belonging to an
economic and social system. One of the
earliest uses of the term "globalization", as
known, was in 1930 - in a publication entitled
“Towards New Education” to designate an
overview of the human experience in
education.
Roland Robertson, a professor of
sociology at the University of
Aberden, was the first person who
defined globalization as "the
understanding of the world and the
increased perception of the world as
a whole."
Martin Albrow and Elizabeth
King, sociologists, define
globalization as "all those
processes by which the peoples
of the world are incorporated
into a single world society.
It is a process of interaction and
integration among the people,
companies, and governments of
different nations. A process driven
by international trade and
investment and aided by
information technology.
This process has effects on the
environment, on culture, on
political systems, on economic
development and prosperity, and
on human physical well-being on
societies around the world.
For many developing nations,
globalization has led to an
improvement in standard of living
through improved roads and
transportation, improved health care,
and improved education due to the
global expansion of corporations.
However, globalization has a
negative effect on individuals
who live in developed nations.
Some of the factors that cause
globalization are migration and
labor.
Migration is a movement to
another place, often of a large
group of people.
