Globalization means that there are more choices for consumers and more consumers for producers of goods. The impact of globalization has been felt all across the globe and in the economic, political and social sectors of society. Several decades ago little was known by the American citizen about the politics of foreign countries or their political actors but that has all changed globalization of media and specifically the Internet has made it possible to access information not only about other countries but websites from other countries at the touch of a finger. Access to information and knowledge about other locations in the world and other cultures has undergone rapid expansion and this means that today's individual is more knowledgeable and well-informed than previous generations. Globalization has been very good in some ways. Furthermore, those who live in countries with open markets are seeing a growth in their annual income. (Batterson and Weidenbaum, 2000, paraphrased)
