Definition of Globalization

Part I

The definition of the term globalization is a composition of many important terms as defined by different scholars. Some of the useful terms in the definition are integration, the spread of technology and interaction. The term nationalistic is a component in the definition of globalization, which has not been widely used. Few definitions of globalization incorporate it into its definition. The main aspects of globalization are economy, politics, and socio-culture (King, 2018). Economics is related to globalization from the fact that it concentrates on the integration of global economies within the globe. Socio-culture is also associated with globalization since it involves the exchange of different cultures between different countries (Armitage, 2013). Politically, globalization comes in when different states borrow political rules and norms governing their state (Nazemroaya, 2012). In simple words, globalization is the coming together of countries within the globe to improve their existence on the planet.

Part II

From the video, different dimensions of globalization are represented. The increase in the number of Facebook users in the world can be attributed to globalization. As stated above, the integration component of globalization is seen as the number of Facebook users has increased. The availability of Facebook in different languages also explains the socio-cultural part of globalization. The global spread of media today, along with the expanding reach of the Internet and services such as YouTube and Facebook, plays a role in cultural diffusion. (Wild & Wild, 2019). Technology has also spread throughout the world, which is evidenced in the number of improved cell phone systems available in the world and the increased number of Google users. Globalization in this sense can be explained as a form of interaction. From the video, quite a large number of married couples in the world met online which explains the importance of globalization. I chose these because it explains the various components of globalization. From the video interaction, the spread of technology and integration components of globalization are clearly explained.

Cheryl,

Your Part I and Part II of Assignment #1 are rather limited. You did not follow the stated instructions.

For example, in Part I the instructions clearly state:

Part I: Research definitions of globalization**. Identify some of the components of the definitions that you find to be similar and you think are useful. Which are not? Provide examples of the various aspects/dimensions associated with globalization and explain how each aspect/dimension relates to globalization. Develop and write your own definition of globalization that you think will help people understand globalization. **Provide reference citations where appropriate.

I did not see where you identified components of the definitions that were similar and useful.

Your Part II is limited in summary as well and in identifying the dimensions that are related to globalization. You defined globalization very well. In addition, your examples are relevant and insightful. However, you did not identify the dimensions that are associated with globalization, for example, political, financial, economic, cultural concerns etc. You were required to identify these elements not only for this assignment, to ensure that you understood the various concepts involved with global/international management, but also to ensure that you recognize the considerations associated with global management for future assignments.

It is apparent that your knowledge of APA 6th Edition requirements. I have attached an APA Tip Sheet. I strongly suggest that you review it.
