Globalization involves the international exchange and interdependence among countries through the flow of capital, people, news, and information via electronic media. It is important because it enhances involvement with other societies, promotes unity and cultural integration, and allows for easy global communication and business. Globalization applies to students by giving them access to more educational resources from around the world to gain a well-rounded education and better understand other cultures. Examples include the availability of cultural resources and the exchange of ideas through advances in technology like social media, web resources, and virtual tours. Globalization matters for students because they now compete for jobs globally, evening the playing field and creating a competitive environment where students must excel to succeed.
