What is the most important factor contributing to globalisation?
What do you consider to be the most important factor contributing to globalisation?
Globalisation is the widening, deepening and speeding up of global interconnection, and growth of the Earth. It can also be described as growth on a global or worldwide scale. For example the growth of economies, power within a country and also down to a company in that country. There are many factors contributing to globalisation; however there are three main sections, split up between political, economic and cultural. The economic category means that all economies are globally interconnected. The political section is about the evidence of growing importance of international organisations such as TNC’s. The final category is to do with culture, where information, commodities and images are displayed and produced in one part of the world and enter a global flow, flattening the cultural differences between countries. All three categories are “a complicated and complex web of interconnectedness” where geographical whereabouts and territorial boundaries are of declining significance. Personally I believe that there are certain aspects which drive globalisation more than others and this is media.
Transport and travel have increased interconnectedness between different countries, especially between LEDC’s and MEDC’s this is due to increased tourism as people are now able to travel longer distances now because of the advances in technology and fuel costs have decreased. People can travel more easily than before as 40 years ago it wasn’t possible to make a trip very easily from the UK to New Zealand. As travel development has increased, migration also has and especially for work usually from LEDC’s to MEDC’s. Proportionally the cost of air travel has decreased therefore making it cheaper to travel abroad. This has increased our flows of goods by road, air and also by cargo ferry. Trade is a very important factor of globalisation too, because every country in the world has traded with
