Globalization has caused increased migration and a multicultural Britain. It refers to how people and companies are becoming more connected globally through improved transportation like airplanes and container ships. This has made it easier for people to move between countries for work or a better life. As a result, Britain has seen large numbers of migrants come from countries like India, Pakistan, Poland and Ireland, changing the cultural makeup of the country. This has resulted in both positive and negative effects of an increasingly multicultural society in Britain.
