Globalization

This is my group's work.

1. From me globalization is a multifaceted process, due to the economic, social, technological, political and other changes that result in the majority of countries in the world, and a geographical region becomes more closely related to each other, but also more dependent on each other. In practice, the increasing globalization of the form of goods and services as well as investments, cash and population flows between countries. Also, more intensive information and knowledge, as well as the spread of technology and innovation in the world characterized by globalization.

Globalisation can be defined as the 'intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa.' (Anthony Giddens, former director of London School of Economics) 

In my country Latvia-
Globalization - affects a variety of different regions of the world, because the world is evolving fragmented and unevenly.

• Globalisation and its center of origin brightest manifestations - the economy, but impact of globalization on education in each aspect of most of the world.
• Body of knowledge and education services gradually turning into a commodity, which subject to the rules of market turnover and the world market as a whole.
• English as the language of globalization.
• English language proficiency is essential prerequisite for the use of broad international training offer.

In Latvia school:

about globalization, as....

1. globalization presents more increasing opportunities for everyone individual.

2. economic rivalry provide higher quality, more varied and cheaper goods and services.

3. information, education, knowledge sharing and development.

4. possible joint solutions to problems.

against globalization, as....

1. groups that do not have access to the resources, do not enjoy equal opportunities with other.

2. uneven regional development

I think globalization opens up new opportunities for development and wealth creation. But there are different opinions and views on globalization, economic and social consequences, which is actually a different impact on the various sectors of economic and social actors' interests and capabilities. In my country in school and university we dont speak about globalization.So from me it is hard to think about it and understand it.

2. My definitions.

Globalization can be defined as a process by which people, organizations, markets, technology, finance, and management information linking one general interaction between the network across national borders.

I think here there is talk about....global citizenship and development education.
