Globalization has led to increased economic integration and interdependence between countries through modern technologies, improved transportation, free trade agreements and growth of multinational corporations. This has effects on employment, food supply, communication, and business. Specifically, it has created more jobs in developing countries but decreased manufacturing employment in developed countries. It has increased food supply choices beyond local seasons and resources. Communication of ideas and cultures has expanded through platforms like Facebook. Business has benefited through easier international expansion, though local companies may struggle against multinational competitors. Overall, globalization both creates opportunities and challenges that are debated regarding its impacts.
