Concepts of Globalization

What is Globalization? Globalization as the book describes, is a set of conditions that have been escalating since the post war period (POL 404). Some of these conditions include increased rate of migration, globalization of capital and financial networks, and rise of international corporations just to name a few. What helps this globalization is the movement of people from place to place all around the world every and any way possible, either as tourists, travelers, workers, legal and illegal immigrants and global citizens. I think every single person has either traveled somewhere different or knows of someone that has traveled somewhere due to either work conditions or vacation get-a-ways. That is the one thing that I find most interesting about America, is that we’re not all just one race. We all come from tons and tons of different ethnic backgrounds and generations from all kind of places, either here for good, or just simply for the change of weather.
