What is Globalization?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

What does it mean to live in a world that\u2019s more connected than ever?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Globalization<\/strong> is the growing interdependence of countries, people, cultures, and economies. On one hand, it has fueled innovation, opened new markets, and brought people from different backgrounds closer together. On the other, it has also raised concerns about income inequality, political instability, global health risks like COVID-19, and international crime.<\/p>\n<\/div>
