Globalization
by Stine Korné
1. Education
1.1. Globalization has created the need for global citizens that have a keen awareness of the political, economic, social, and environmental concerns of our time. Our inter-connected world demands that we not only understand our country, but also have knowledge of nations, cultures, languages, and religions around the globe.
2. Energy
2.1. Energy usage has been such a basic element of human advancement for so long that it is perhaps not surprising it has acquired mounting significance in the era of globalization.

4.1. Revolutionary innovations in technology and telecommunications have empowered the individual, for better or worse, to exercise a previously unthinkable degree of self-expression

7. Women
7.1. The current wave of globalization has greatly improved the lives of women worldwide, particularly the lives of women in the developing world.

9. Globalization is an expression of exchanges of information and culture through increased tourism, increased trade (import / export) and improved communication.

11. Development
11.1. The term “development” in international parlance therefore encompasses the need and the means by which to provide better lives for people in poor countries. It includes not only economic growth, although that is crucial, but also human development—providing for health, nutrition, education, and a clean environment.
12. Health

14. Investment
14.1. When people think about globalization, they often first think of the increasing volume of trade in goods and services. Trade flows are indeed one of the most visible aspects of globalization.
