Document Summary

Refined definition: a historical process involving a fundamental shift or transformation in the spatial scale of human social organization that links distant communities and expands the reach of power relations across regions and continents. Flaws: the weaknesses of the sceptical argument are that it tends to conflate globalization solely with economic trends. Globalization is not singular process, it manifests in all aspects of social life from politics to production. It is implicated directly and indirectly in many aspects of our daily lives, from the clothes we wear, the food we ear, the knowledge we access. So its important to acknowledge that globalization is a multidimensional process. East to west, it has turned migration into a major global issue as movements come close to the record level of the great nineteenth century movements of people: social: shifting patterns of migration from south to north and. Patterns of contemporary globalization: patterns of contemporary globalization are highly complex, but also highly uneven.
