What Is Globalisation

You'll have to forgive me, this is my first blog I have ever written and in so you'll have to forgive my way of writing it. Its funny writing a blog about something so wide and expansive
Gee, first task and your expected to define something so broad. Globalisation falls under many catagories and comes in many forms. Nederveen Pieterse, J (2004) speaks of globalisation not being simply corporation driven and that its not just a simple entity. Globalisation is hard to define, often you'll actually see that everyone who knows the term would give you a different definition. My interpretation is that it is something of an interconnection of finance, media, trade, technology etc, that is simplified to a connection of these entities. Basically an interwoven of these  things to create basically an idea that is globalisation. Connecting areas that been desolate before, farmers who couldnt create business etc., for example. Coupland, N (2010) agrees there be an inter connectedness within globalisation but the fact of the matter is he denies it being as vast growing as it has been made out to be. He states that developing countries are left behind the times. As mentioned before it is hard to pinpoint an exact reasoning to what is Globalisation. My simple answer is a could mean at this point, a difference of opinion.
