This article discusses the impacts of globalization. It argues that while globalization has connected people in some ways through technologies like social media and made business practices more efficient, it has also negatively impacted languages, cultures and workers' rights. Specifically, English has become a lingua franca due to globalization, potentially threatening other languages and cultures. Outsourcing benefits businesses but harms workers in poorer countries by affecting wages and rights. Social media has revolutionized communication but also enables misuse of personal information if not used carefully. Therefore, globalization has both benefits and drawbacks, so people should make informed use of its tools and effects.T1 VocabularyIsidoro Interino JCCM Educaci坦n

Globalization aims to standardize life worldwide by promoting equal rights and reducing poverty, but it does not benefit all countries equally. While developed nations gain economic advantages, poor countries are often not helped and their citizens can be negatively impacted. To address this, efforts are needed to make globalization more inclusive and help poorer nations develop so they too can gain from international cooperation and trade. Outreach through online campaigns and fundraising could help raise awareness of these issues and support vulnerable populations affected by globalization's downsides.Answer disscusion questions in two part section What is How.docx

Globalization refers to the increasing integration and interdependence of economies, technologies, and cultures around the world. It occurs through advances in transportation and communication technologies that make the movement of goods, capital, services, and people easier across borders. The forces driving globalization include economic factors like international trade and investment as well as social and cultural dimensions like the spread of ideas, information, and business practices globally. While previous eras saw increased connections between societies, globalization today differs in its rapid pace and broad scope, creating new opportunities but also inequalities as some regions, industries, and groups benefit more than others from global flows.

Hans Rosling uses a bubble chart tool from IKEA to explain global population growth trends since 1960. The bubbles represent countries, with the size correlating to population and color relating to development status. Since 1960, population has grown from 3 billion to over 7 billion as developing countries have seen increased child survival and lowered birth rates. While population will continue growing, it is projected to peak around 2050 as emerging economies follow this pattern of lowering birth rates with increased development and education. The role of industrialized nations in the future will be to support developing countries' growth without interfering in cultural traditions.J201 Firstdaylecture
