Globalization has signalled a new form of society; however, it is not new because most of its elements are a continuation of past forms of interlinked societies. Globalization entails the process of integration and interaction among individuals. Research indicates that international transactions and interactions drive it while information technology facilitates its proliferation.
The significance of this study will be felt across all regions of the globe because it will be an important source of background information as well as a study of numerous questions that people will reflect upon for many years to come.
Primarily, this research study will be based on the evaluation of credible books and articles related to the study. The research study will be organised as outlined below.
