Document Summary
Globalization: definition: a process whereby geographical barriers to economic, political, and cultural/social activities are breaking down, people are aware that these barriers are breaking down, and act accordingly. Components of globalization: economic: buying stocks of companies in other countries; in response to shortage of nurses in the united states, a nurse in the philippines signs a. 5 year contract and goes to dallas to work, sending remittances going back to her family; outsourcing of jobs with internet making that possible. Stores allowing payments in different currencies: political: nations est. 2004 affected everyone in the world = donations, offer of assistance, etc. As communication technology increases, we feel that people living far away are closer to us: globalization involves a blurring of the distinction of boundaries between private time and public time. This rapidly globalizing world works 24/7 instead of past time"s distinction of past 5pm and weekends as personal time.
