types of globalisation

what is economic globalisation

• where trade, production and consumption have become globalised

• many things consumed in the UK are produced and manufactured abroad → these productions are often done through TNCs that operate in multiple countries e.g. Shell

• RESULT OF THIS- a decline in manufacturing jobs over the years (decrease occurs because these jobs are moved abroad to places like China) and most UK jobs and now service and leisure sectors

what is technological globalisation

• the establishment of ICT companies like google and apple is a part of economic globalisation

• these institutions are now involved in writing curriculums and providing online materials to governments around the world → education is now shaped a lot more by TNCs than it was before

• this means corporations make a profit from providing this service to the government

what is cultural globalisation

• the spread of ideas and values becoming more rapid around the globe

• caused by the growth in ICT as communications technology made communication quick and convenient even with other countries

• this type of globalisation includes the spread of music, fashion, consumer products, political and religious ideas

what is increasing migration

• where more and more people are moving around the globe, making it a part of globalisation

• people move for many reasons e.g. work, volunteering, education, war, disaster

• the result of increased immigration means the UK is a much more multi-cultural society than it was in the 50s
