Globalization is the bringing together of the different parts of the world through the sharing of knowledge, the spread of instant communication, and an interconnected economy. With the ease and availability of air travel, the expansion of free trade, and with the Internet, the experiences of people around the world have become more and more similar and more and more connected.Advances in communication technology allow people around the world to connect instantly. Modern communication has played a major role in the globalization of culture. Global news networks such as CNN, BBC, and others have largely contributed to the process. People can see news and read about foreign places as easily as they read about their own country. As a result, citizens are more conscious of the world issues, and may be influenced by other cultures in a variety of ways.International travel has also helped increase globalization. Every year, millions or migrant workers move from country to country in search of jobs. They assimilate many aspects of the host country, which they take back home with them. Thousands of companies look for business opportunities and so send their executives around the world. But people do not travel just for work. Millions of people take vacations in foreign countries. These tourists have made people more familiar with other cultures. Travelers and local people are exposed to new foods, new services, and new ideas, which may influence their way of life.
