Our inter-connected world demands that we not only have an understanding of our country, but an understanding of nations, cultures, languages, and religions around the globe.

requires going beyond traditional modes of education that create a well informed, trained, and motivated workforce.

This response has largely taken place on several fronts, each with varying perspectives and motivations for wanting to transform education on a global scale.

Globalization is also affecting education. English has become the international language, which creates global markets for education in English both at the K–12 level as well as in higher education.

K–12 education may evolve into a bureaucracy that will look a lot like European ministries of education, responsible for assuring that the educational needs of a state are met through contracting with for-profit companies, through contracting with not-for-profit contractors in other states, and through the state’s own educational infrastructure, again greatly changed in its social organization and its governance.

In the face of such pressures, more study is needed about local responses to defend public education against the introduction of pure market mechanisms to regulate educational exchanges and other policies that seek to reduce state sponsorship and financing and to impose management and efficiency models borrowed from the business sector as a framework for educational decisionmaking.

the linking of educators and students through technology is creating an international network that fosters a sense of global community.

the role of education in creating global citizens has been debated since it has historically been used as a tool to promote accepted social norms and patriotism on the national level.  

While global education does not seek to undermine nationalism, it does strive to create citizens with a global scope that are thoughtful about the problems facing their world

It's not unusual for government agencies with budget problems to start outsourcing services to private industry.

Globalization Your shirt was made in Mexico and your shoes in China. Your CD player comes from Japan. You can travel to Moscow and eat a Big Mac there and you can watch an American film in Rome. Today goods are made and sold all over the world, thanks to globalization. Globalization lets countries move closer to each other. People, companies and organizations in different countries can live and work together. We can exchange goods , money and ideas faster and cheaper than ever before. Modern communication and technology, like the Internet, cell phones or satellite TV help us in our daily lives. Globalization is growing quickly. A German company can produce cars in Argentina and then sell them in the United States. A businessman in Great Britain can buy a part of a company in Indonesia on one day and sell parts of another business in China the next, thanks to globalization. Fast food companies open shops around the world almost every day.

History of Globalization Globalization is not new. For thousands of years people have been trading goods and travelling across great distances. During the Middle Ages, merchants travelled along the Silk Road , which connected Europe and China. The modern age of globalization started with the Industrial Revolution at the end of the 18th century. New machines were able to produce cheaper goods. Trains and steam-powered boats transported products farther and faster. Since 1980, globalization has been moving at a faster pace. Today it is easier for companies to work in other countries. The Internet gives them the chance of reaching more customers around the world. Teleworkers work for firms that may be far away.

The Globalization and Localization Association is the largest global non-profit association within the language industry, providing resources, education and research for companies working with translation services, language technology and content localization.

As a monetary policymaker, my main concern is the health of the U.S. economy. Although the economy turned in a pretty sluggish performance for a long while after the 2001 recession, it has shown some real strength over the last few quarters in terms of output growth and productiv

ly most efficient. Consider this analogy with the family: No family tries to make everything that it eats, wears, and enjoys. If it'

because their jobs are going overseas. And concern for these workers, of course, is why there's interest in trying to restrict trade with tariffs, quotas, or other barriers. Indeed, such measures may actually succeed in slowing job losses in affected industries temporarily. But, as I hope I've illustrated, in the end, they impose significant costs on the rest of the economy that are much higher than any benefits.
