The process of globalization has widely increased the possibilities of communicating with people across the world. The availability of information is a major effect. With the spread of business delivering Internet, satellite TV and mobile services, it becomes much easier for people across the world to communicate. Globalization has influenced global communication for business conduct among workers at international corporations. Long-distance travels are no longer necessary for them to have a meeting overseas. Internet technology makes it possible to exchange business information. Globalization has also led to increase social awareness of people across the world. Information technology and networks enable people to share their views and research different areas. These are among the main reasons why the globalization creates a sense of a global society. Despite its quick spread and continuous development, globalization has not reached the majority of people on all continents. It is said that at least 70 percent of people in Africa will never make a single phone call or use Internet. This points out the need of a more extensive application of globalization.
