Globalization means countries around the world are becoming more connected. Transport like planes and ships and communication technologies like the internet have allowed people, money, and products to move between places quickly and with ease. Big companies, called transnational corporations, make goods in different countries to save money. Doing this can help some countries grow but cause problems in others, like factory closings. Globalization brings people closer and helps them share ideas, but it also creates challenges for workers and communities in some parts of the world.
