Globalization is the growing connection between countries through trade, travel, and communication. It links people, businesses, and ideas across the world. These connections have increased over time.

Products such as smartphones, clothing, and food are often made in different countries and sold globally. Air travel allows people to move quickly between continents, and the internet connects people instantly. Large companies and international organizations operate across many countries.

Globalization is measured through trade, communication networks, and movement of people. It is studied in economics, geography, and social science.
