Spaces and exchanges: globalization

I’m going to talk about the notion space and exchanges. To begin with, I’d like to give a definition of exchange. The different spaces of the world are nowadays more and more connected to each other. The exchanges can appear in many forms: people, trade, information. One of the most crucial forms of space and reciprocity is globalization. People all over the world have become closer all over the world. Goods and services that appear in a country will be immediately promoted in others. International transfer and communication are more common. To describe the present time, they use the term the era of globalization. The phenomenon affects the economic business and exerts a wide influence on society. The growth of the developing countries is the main cause of globalization and it brings both opportunities and disadvantages to them.
