Globalisation refers to the process by which the world becomes more interconnected through increased interaction and integration among people, businesses, and governments across different countries. This process is driven by advancements in technology, communication, and transportation, which make it easier for goods, services, and information to cross borders.
In the context of GCSE Sociology, globalisation examines how these interconnected systems affect societies, cultures, and economies worldwide. It explores issues such as the spread of cultural norms and practices, the impacts on local economies and environments, and the role of multinational corporations.
Understanding globalisation helps students analyse how it influences social structures, identities, and relationships within and between societies.
