Document Summary
Globalization: the worldwide global exchange of money, goods, services and cultures. For example, hollywood lms and any other hollywood lms are considered a product being exported and bought from the u. s worldwide. A lm expresses a piece of culture and allows for it to be shared around the world. The main thing that the u. s exports is popular culture. Globalization affects very concrete things within our lives such as: The food we eat, the food we have access to, the products that we can buy and how we can connect to other people. Due to globalization economies of the world are much more entangled and diverse while cultures around the world are coming into more contact. For example, for parents and grandparents geography determined social and economic relationships but that has changed. Today, globalization geography no longer controls or constrains all of those things so it can be thought of as world wide interconnectedness.
