Globalization is a set of interacting social, political, and economic processes that connect the world in new ways, yielding multifaceted changes in the way that connected people view themselves and global issues. [1]

Background

Many economists and politicians alike use the term "globalization" to refer to the creation of global economic markets. When these markets include cultural products, such as music, film, and television, their expansion raises fears of cultural imperialism. [2] An example of this is the permeation of Western beauty standards into other cultures because of Western media. Extended definition of the term. Who coined the term? Disciplinary history? Significant figures, theorists, etc.?

Uses in other disciplines
