The globalization
Globalization is an economic, technological, political, social, business and cultural process on a world scale that consists in the growing communication and interdependence between the different countries of the world uniting their markets, societies and cultures, through a series of social transformations, economic and political issues that give them a global character. This process originated in Western Civilization and has expanded around the world in the last decades of the Contemporary Age (second half of the twentieth century) receives its greatest impetus with the end of the Cold War, and continues into the twenty-first century. It is characterized in the economy by the integration of local economies to a world market economy where modes of production and capital movements are configured on a planetary scale ("new economy"), taking on greater importance the role of multinational companies and the free movement of capital together with the definitive implantation of the consumer society. Technologically, globalization depends on advances in human connectivity (transport and telecommunications), facilitating the free movement of people and the spread of ICT and the Internet.
