For over thousands of years, globalization has widely occurred worldwide. Infact, since it had such an impactful widespread among people and families, It stayed throughout its heritage and was passed on to today.

Globalization has had both a positive and negative impact throughout the world. An interconnectedness within the world where complicated issues can arise creating an unevenness that can contribute to a societies as well as the individuals happiness in life (El-Ojelli, 2006:p1). The negative impacts of

The term globalization can be defined as a process by which societies, regional economies and cultures have been integrated via a global network of transportation, communication and trade. It has both positive and negative impacts in all the areas that it touches on be it economical, social, technology, cultural, political, environment, health or any other. Globalization started to have an impact on businesses world wide in the eighteenth century since that time marks the merging of modernity and globalization. However, in the modern sence, globalization kicked off after the end of Second World War since its during that time that leaders felt the urge to break down the borders

Tye article on global education, allows the reader to understand global education by providing an analysis of what global education is and how it can be useful. The author defines global education and provides clear examples on how it appears in schools. One major aspect of his analysis is that he demonstrate the appearance of a global education and inherent problems that exist in schools without the global perspective. The author states that it is important that global education creates people more socially aware capable of interacting with members outside of their community creating a cross cultural discourse.

The writer points out that even though globalization is an economic issue per Brysk (2003, p. 22), the framework formed a combination of factors is one that one must consider as an influence in education (Merriam, Caffarella, & Baumgartner, 2007). These influences are 1) connection, 2) cosmopolitanism, 3) communication, and 4) Commodification. Each of these areas is having positive effects such as bringing together people who would not otherwise connect, or in creating the means for effective communications between peoples with different

There are various theoretical frameworks that create the foundation for understanding of any social or economic phenomenon. Since globalization occurs on several levels there are different theories that explain various aspects of it. The analysis of various factors that facilitate the creation of interconnected and

It is sure that even most schools in a country desire change toward global education. If governmental stakeholders, such as many governmental departments that are devoted to globalization educational transformation, do not take action, no change will take place. Within schools, there are departments concerned with curriculum and other areas of the school hierarchy that perform assessments and do teacher training, and ICT. These stakeholders are all essential to transform ideas into policy. It will make education more available, more equitable and successful for millions of children across the shrinking globe.

The concept of globalization is a complex and peculiar one, failing to be definable by a single, precise definition. Centrally, globalization involves information and goods being exchanged amongst different countries. These interactions and interchanges among countries globally over time is due to an increase in communication and transport networks. Globalization is often divided into three main areas being economic globalization, cultural globalization and political globalization. All three are vital areas to one’s life and globalization is said to have a large impact on each. Although globalization is controversial in the aspect that it cannot be declared just how much of an influence the notion has in the world. Political scientists such as Muhammad Ijaz Latif, Anton Pelinka and Martin Wolf all discuss this issue in their respective pieces as well as differing aspects of globalization such as the role the European Union plays in relation to globalization, the different perspectives of globalization and the challenges of the nation-state in regards to globalization.

The world we live in is getting smaller and becoming more connected especially with the technology revolution. This situation creates the globalisation phenomenon which defined as “the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale” (Oxford, 2017). Another interpretation for globalisation was introduced by Held et al. (1999) who define it as “the widening, deepening and speeding up of worldwide interconnectedness” (Held et al. 1999, p. 2). Globalisation has a great impact on most sectors, yet a great impact lay on education sector because of its reliance on the knowledge, which not have any boundaries. Essentially, higher education influenced by globalisation and many researchers have argued the positive impacts, others have claimed that globalisation has deleterious effects on higher education systems. However, the impact of globalisation on higher education is inevitable. The level of that influence depends on the way the universities might accept that impact and how to respond to it positively or negatively.

In modern society, the increase of globalization will generate a less insular world, ultimately uniting an economically progressing society. Globalization has increased knowledge, employment, international relations and has undisputedly promoted cultural blending. The insertion of globalization activities has developed numerous beneficial contributions for penury countries, primarily, saving millions of people from starvation and disease. Inevitably, the integration of globalization will transpire a globalized society, leading to peaceful world relations and an increase in health and financial assets.

Globalization is the increasing interdependence and connectedness of the world, its businesses and it markets, as well as flow of goods, ideas, technology, people etc. This phenomenon has increased vastly over the years due to technological advances, telecommunications and internet. As the world becomes a global economy, countries have the opportunity to advance more but with the catch that there is also increased competition. Thus as it becomes more common and powerful a feature, it also has some resistance as well. (InvestorWords, n.d.)

With the advent and flourishing of capitalism each nation had to rethink their educational policies. This became evident and almost compulsory with the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) of 1995, which is the first set of multilateral rules covering international trade in services. (http://www.unesco.org/education/studyingabroad/highlights/global_forum/gats_he/basic_gats_he.shtml) This project that considers education as a service is under the auspice of World Trade Organization (WTO) and is based on the belief that HE has a greater individual than a social revenue. This turns HE in a commodity and supports than the known “for profit internationalization” (Knight 2002, Altbach and Knight 2007).

Globalization is a multi-dimensional phenomenon that drives most of the changes in the educational system (Obioma, 2011). In the world of today, globalization makes borderless education or what is referred to as transnational border to develop new international partnerships and networks (Zelza, 2005).

The issues of globalization increasingly dominate the universe’s life. The concept of globalization according to Robertson (1992) refers to the narrowing of the world as incentives and increased our awareness of the world, namely the increasing global connections and our understanding of the connection. Globalization is a situation in which no boundaries between the people of the world and links communities in a country with people in another countries. Globalization departs from an idea to unite the nations which is expected to be a mutual agreement and guidelines for nations around the world. Globalization is able to waive the space and time constraints to get the interaction and communication between nations can be done

The word globalization is the new buzzword that has come to dominant the world since the nineties of the last century with the end of the cold war and break-up of the former Soviet Union and the global trends towards the rolling ball. But the phenomenon of globalization is not new. Some of the globalization forms are climatic change, migration, development of communication, health, economy, education, etc. Globalization is a complex, multifaceted process that affects all aspects of life-economy, political, cultural and social. In the one hand, it is a long term process that has been propelled by technology, economics, politics and knowledge to create a “GLOBAL COSMOPOLITAN SOCIETY “which is shaking up of our existing ways of life. Thus the process of globalization has affected every facets of human life including education. In the twentieth century, India has experienced growth in the educational facilities available to entry new educations from the west. Some scholar believed that it is invaluable opportunity for the people of the country and others fear that it is merely a modern version of cultural imperialism, may
