Globalization is defined as the integration and interaction of people, companies, and governments around the world, driven by international trade, investment, and technology. Globalization affects many aspects of the economy and provides connectivity worldwide. It is important because it forces businesses to compete globally and allows people to communicate and spread ideas across borders. In education, globalization has increased international student enrollment, introduced multicultural perspectives, and sparked interest in study abroad programs to prepare students for an interconnected world.
