What is globalism?

Globalism can be defined as an activity to unify communication, transportation, commerce, finance and religion. Not only has globalism become popular, but it has become essential. A corporation must become global to ensure its future. No country is big enough to exist on its own merits any longer. Interdependency has progressed to such an extent that even a small disturbance can affect the entire world. Not only did the 1980s stock market crash in Hong Kong affect Asia, but it also took the rest of the world many years to recover. The world has not been the same since the early '90s when West Germany literally bought East Germany. Therefore, what one country does affects the others as well.
