In a nutshell, the integration and exchange of ideas and goods globally. Hence the name, globalization. It benefits the middle class and especially the rich and powerful, but has hurt the poor and powerless.

Globalization is the inter-dependence of nations on one anothers' goods, resulting in a global economy. One may argue that such has occurred since civilization began, with the thing we know as commerce, but that is more wrong than right.

There are perks of globalization, such as:
- The ability to travel internationally easier.
- A wide variety of goods, differing in quality and price dramatically.
- Forced peace between inter-dependent nations, which results in less war.
- More universal measurement, arithmetic, and language, making it easier for people to communicate internationally.

Of course, globalization has serious draw-backs, too:
- If one economy declines, the rest do, too. This is much like a farmer using one variant of one crop, which will result in the destruction of most of his crop, if a bad disease hits.
- If a universal currency is not used, some, smaller nations will have disadvantages in trade.
- If one nation so chooses to withdraw from the global economy, the entire thing could collapse.
- Those countries that offer less valuable products than others will get fucked over.
- The richer nations profit more than the smaller ones.
