Globalization refers to the increasing internationalization of markets, communication, and culture due to advances in transportation and communication technology. It involves the integration of economies and societies across international borders and includes growing economic interdependence and cultural exchange. Mass media, the internet, and economic interdependence have contributed to globalization by allowing for increased communication and shared cultural experiences across the world. While globalization has increased understanding between groups and promoted world peace, it also risks dilution of local cultures and suppression of less powerful traditions by dominant forces. Education aims to teach people how to embrace globalization's benefits while avoiding such negative effects.
