Globalization is the free movement of ideas and tastes across cultures, transforming the world into a single community with diverse cultures but similar economic and political systems. It is a continuous, spontaneous process driven by advancements in communication and transportation, leading to cultural interactions through conquest or migration. The result is a convergence in production, governance, trade, and consumption patterns, often at the expense of local cultural identities.
