Globalization

Globalization. It’s been a large force since the 19th Century, but as time progresses, the gap between countries has been getting smaller and smaller. We’ve gone from week-long trips on boats to commercialized airplane flights that may take less than a day. The largest development to globalization would definitely be the Internet. The Internet has allowed the transfer of information instantaneously. News travels fast now. So fast that any small bit or comment is now counted as “news” and with a couple clicks, hosts articles on major news sites. We can contact people from around the world, from friends who’ve moved to strangers we would have not been able to talk to.
Some people would question whether or not globalization has been a positive force, but there should be no question. While globalization has brought some unnecessary changes to society, overall it has been. People are social creatures. Globalization has allowed connections to be made, including blogs like these that no one reads.
