This document discusses globalization and localization. It defines globalization as the increased interconnection among countries in areas like economics, politics, and culture. Globalization involves the integration of capital, technology, information, and ideas across borders. It also affects society and culture. Some key facets of globalization include the spread of ideas, technologies, and flows of goods and services. Localization occurs as communities strengthen local traditions in resistance to globalization due to concerns about threats to culture, economics, politics, and the environment from globalization. Facets of localization include religious differences, customs that preserve local identity, resistance to economic globalization, and political nationalism.
