Global communication directly impacts globalization by increasing business opportunities, reducing cultural barriers, and connecting people globally. Both globalization and communication have transformed environmental, cultural, political, and economic conditions worldwide. Digital communication teaches patience as people expect faster responses online and ask simpler questions and express themselves in a more simplified manner, even on important issues. Cultural and global issues can impact communication by affecting individuals and groups, which can lead to miscommunications or positive interactions, with language differences within countries being one example of a cultural issue that influences communication.
