"A process of rapid economic integration driven by the liberalisation of trade, investment and capital flows and by rapid technological change." - definition by OXFAM
"It affects the clothes we wear, the music we listen too, the food we eat, the jobs we do and the environment we live in." - definition by OXFAM
"Before you finish eating your breakfast this morning, you've depended on half the world.... We aren't going to have peace on earth until we recognise this basic fact." - Martin Luther King
"Let ours be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life." - From the Earth Charter
"The only path that promises success is to embrace globalisation and become an integral part of the engine of global growth. It may not be easy, but it is the only way to support high-quality, long-term growth and unleash the innovative talents and energies of nations’ entrepreneurs on an international scale. Globalisation is an enormously powerful driver of growth. It is a challenge to be met, not a threat to be avoided - and least of all a weapon to be honed." - E@syVG's Vichar: World Connected

No 1:BioGame @ Globbarit This game, though on the surface seems shallow and simple, actually embodies the fact of how globalisation can destroy our planet, through the loss of nature and natural resources, as well as the eventual forging of a common identity for Man, which in the game, eventually destroys the world.
This game is for the year 9s in the UK, however i find that this game is also somewhat relevant to globalisation, in the sense of world trade and commerce, and one has to have a sense of business acumen and a dose of common sense to score well in the game.
No 3:Sim Sweatshop @ NOW This game is ANNOYING, as the days in the game are very short. You have to STARE at the stop clock on the bottom left corner of the screen, and not to mention you're making shoes for a meagre sum of money that may be docked if you don't complete your work. The game requires good hand eye coordination, accuracy in placing the pieces, and of course, watching the time and energy bar. This game is a simulation of the poor and unfair conditions that factory workers in sweatshops are facing, the sweatshops being a by product of globalisation.
{HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, this game is FUN!, though ANNOYING.}
