Globalization

A mind map about globalization. Globalization is the word used to describe the growing interdependence of the world's economies, cultures, and populations, brought about by cross-border trade in goods and services, technology, and flows of investment, people, and information. Countries have built economic partnerships to facilitate these movements over many centuries. But the term gained popularity after the Cold War in the early 1990s, as these cooperative arrangements shaped modern everyday life.

block made by dam result in downstream erosion and build-up of sediments behind the reservoir

Economical

widening income gap rich and poor

developing countries face trade restrictions put up by developed countries + incapability to produce better quality goods to fetch higher prices +lowly-skilled workers= TNCs finding labor-intensive& low value-added production in poorer nations.
