Globalization!

"Globalization is a process on 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 in societies around the world." quote taken from this website!

There are a couple of things I can take from this on how globalization works. I see it as countries helping countries for different things like trading, technology, medical discoveries, cures, aid, etc, also factories in other countries. Trading has always been around, the main item that was traded back in the day would have been spices. An example of "culture" would be  how the United States uses to government process called from ancient Greece. The biggest part of Globalization to me is the dependancy on other countries for our goods. Have you ever noticed how most of everything we have is from China? Well it's because the US buys from China so we can the goods at a cheaper price instead of having our expensive, inadequate products.
