Globalization and Race

Globalization is the process of increasing interconnectedness and interdependence among countries through trade, technology, and cultural exchange. Race refers to social categories based on physical characteristics, often linked to historical and social contexts. When combined, globalization can influence racial identities and relations by spreading cultural norms, stereotypes, and inequalities globally. It can lead to greater diversity but also to challenges like racial discrimination or cultural homogenization. Understanding this intersection helps recognize how global forces impact racial issues, shaping identities, social dynamics, and policies across nations.
