In the early years, many scholars were concerned about globalization’s viral qualities. The speed, the ability to penetrate borders and regulations, and the capacity to transform and even drastically change the countries to which it came. Most people anticipated that globalization would be a positive force but had no idea how much it would influence the world beyond the early 1900s.

The speed at which people began to travel globally became recognized with the changing of cultures, customs, and businesses. The pace that technology advanced over the last 50 years alone has been mainly influenced by the fact that the world has become one large global market. In the race to become more global, the world has seen monumental change, in the fall of the Soviet Union, free markets for labor and capital becoming the norm, and financial markets becoming more important than the trade in goods and services. These trends cannot be reversed any more than the industrial revolution or the emergence of computers. Many nations have become preoccupied with maximizing their resources, prioritizing their production lines, and making their mark on the global platform.
