According to the thing I read, globalization is "the process of global social, economic, and environmental change that leads to an increasingly integrated world."
Though this thing is evidently many years old as it compares thing in 1950 and 1970 to what was in 2002, it's probably very accurate, as it mentions the global economy being to $47 trillion in that year. It also predicts that by 2010, most people in the first would will have internet, and at least half the people in the third world will have internet.
Globalization is affected by the environment, in that international trade has aided the spread of microbes. In addition to this, things like the winds, ocean currents and rivers have made the movement of pollutants in the world much more frequent.
There are things both good and bad that have happened as a result of globalization. Many people in the world have computers, but it's at the expense of more pollution in the ocean.
