Globalisation is the process by which countries, economies, and cultures become interconnected through trade, technology, and communication. It integrates markets and policies, making the world more 'interdependent'. Events in one part of the world can affect others significantly.
Globalisation has both positive and negative effects:
Positive: Opens new markets for exports (textiles, rice), brings foreign investment (CPEC), and creates jobs in IT and telecom.
Negative: Tough competition for local businesses and reliance on global supply chains.
Digital tools (Internet, Social Media) allow instant access to information. Students learn about other cultures via websites and apps. However, there is a fear of Cultural Erosion—where local traditions might be overshadowed by global trends. The key is to find a balance between embracing global influences and preserving local identity.
