Travel
Travel allows people around the world to transport to other countries maybe for jobs, export or import products/business and more. For example, a pencil is made from many countries and has to be exported to Asia to be assembled, then exported to other countries who need it. That is an example of globalization. (Economic)

PROS
-“Trade makes our lives easier - new, cheaper, products bring convenience.
Increased communication, which leads to greater access to knowledge and the sharing of ideas.
-Countries can work together to solve crimes, prevent wars, provide aid in natural disasters, and work on issues like climate change.
-Companies from wealthy countries can build factories in poorer countries, providing jobs to people in poverty and lowering the price of goods.
-Easier and cheaper international travel allows more people to work, study abroad, and take vacations around the world.
-Contact between different cultures increases understanding and empathy, which can lead to a more peaceful world.

CONS
-With access to so many products and media, the world is becoming more similar. Cultures and traditions are being lost.
-Globalization is bad for the environment. The production and transportation of so many goods creates a lot of pollution and garbage. A growing middle class in countries like China, means that more people are driving cars and contributing to air pollution.
-Outsourcing to other countries causes Americans to lose their jobs.
Companies from wealthy countries take advantage of looser laws in developing countries. This can lead to unsafe working conditions and child labor.
-With the world being so connected, a financial crisis in one country can lead to a global financial crisis.
