1. Definition In traditional world, the boundaries
between nations are not easily crossed. Globalization has helped us to demolish those walls that separated us and fostered a presumed identity of ‘universal human’.
The impact of Globalization is wide and deep, its impact is not limited to the economy of the countries only, it actually refers to every aspect of life, including cultural, social, psychological and of course, politics.

are believed to act against the interests of impoverished countries.
There is also a threat of corporates ruling the world because there is a lot of power and money invested by them due to globalization.
