The Negative Effects Of Globalization In The Late 20th Century

Two friends were walking on the road. One of them pointed towards a window A.C and asked, do you know what that is? The other boy turned towards him, smiled and replied, “Globalization”.
The biggest idea or process of late 20th century is Globalization. Almost all of us are well aware about the word of Globalization. It can be define as “The advance level of interaction of people of the world and their cultures, religions etc and integration and interdependence of national and local economics across national or international boarders”.
Many scholars at different eras define Globalization in different ways and accordance of their ides. As sociologist Martin Albrow and Elizabeth king define Globalization in terms of social interaction as, “All
For example, in an oppressed society getting information about other cultures convinces the people that their government is abusive. They want the lifestyle and advantages they see.

While trading they faced different cultures and religions of different regions and they invited the people of that region to accept Islam. This concept about Globalization is somehow right but do not make complete idea.
For an origin of Globalization, I mean a fix day or date, Friedman described it better. According to him, Globalization started when Columbus in 1492 traveled to a new country(America) and set trade and economic actives between old world and new world.
Globalization becomes a well known word for last two decades. Here a question is that, what are the factors or drivers because of which it get so much intensity that children of village like Swat can play cricket and use mobile phones? The answer to this thinkable question is “New age of Connectivity” and
