Globalization relies on three forces for development: the role of human
migration, international trade, and rapid movements of capital and integration of
financial markets.
                                    Characteristics
         Globalisation/internationalisation has become identified with a number of
trends, most of which may have developed or accelerated since World War II.
These include greater international movement of commodities, money,
information, and people; and the development of technology, organisations,
legal systems, and infrastructures to allow this movement. The actual existence
of some of these trends is debated.
         - Greater international cultural exchange.
         - Spreading of multiculturalism, and better individual access to cultural
diversity, for example through the export of Hollywood and Bollywood movies.
However, the imported culture can easily supplant the local culture, causing
reduction in diversity through hybridization or even assimilation. The most
prominent form of this is Westernization, but Sinicization of cultures also takes
place.
         - Greater international travel and tourism
         - Greater immigration, including illegal immigration
         - Spread of local consumer products (e.g., food) to other countries (often
adapted to their culture)
         - World-wide fads and pop culture such as Pokémon, Sudoku, Numa
Numa, Origami, Idol series, YouTube, and MySpace.
         - World-wide sporting events such as FIFA World Cup and the Olympic
Games.
         - Formation or development of a set of universal values.
         - Development of a global telecommunications infrastructure and greater
transborder data flow, using such technologies as the Internet, communication
satellites, submarine fiber optic cable, and wireless telephones
