Globalization affects people's lives through economic, social, and political aspects. Economically, globalization influences where people work, shop, and spend their free time through expanding trade networks and the rise of transnational corporations seeking profit. Socially, globalization spreads culture and lifestyles globally through increased media and communication. Politically, countries are increasingly interdependent and address issues like climate change through international cooperation, while some criticize trade agreements for strengthening corporate rights over citizens' rights.
