Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness between countries through trade, investment, and cultural exchange. It has increased significantly since the late 20th century due to advances in technology and transportation. While globalization has led to economic growth and cultural sharing, it has also resulted in unequal distribution of benefits. Technology has further enabled globalization by allowing instant communication worldwide, and globalization is expected to continue accelerating due to new technologies. However, challenges may arise regarding data privacy, security, and inequality.
