Globalization

Global is an adjective that refers to the planet as a whole.

Global is that referring to the planet or the globe. This adjective also allows us to name something that is taken together . The phrase “The global economy is in crisis” , for example, indicates that the economies of all countries in the world are in a problematic stage.

The term became popular due to the phenomenon of globalization , a process that involves the integration of countries into a single international capitalist market. Globalization, however, transcends the economy and includes cultural and social phenomena linked to communications, transportation and technology .

Nowadays, the notion of global products or processes is evident in everyday life. A man living in Spain can use a computer made in China to connect to the Internet through a company of American origin and buy, on a website hosted on a Russian server, some sneakers that were produced in Mexico . All these countries, linked in a phenomenon as simple as the one mentioned in the example, are a sample of global society .

global warming

Global warming is a phenomenon that makes reference to the increase in the average temperature on Earth and to the theory that, through projections, maintains that the temperature will continue to increase if man does not modify his behavior.

This phenomenon, whether natural or accentuated by man, demonstrates how a global mechanism works (the behavior of all countries affects the increase in temperature and, therefore, global warming is generated).

Climate change

Global warming is a phenomenon associated with the increase in the average temperature on Earth.

A Spanish newspaper

In addition to all of the above, we cannot ignore other uses of the term global today. In this way, for example, we find the fact that in Spain there is a periodical publication called “El Global” . Specifically, it is a newspaper that focuses on the pharmaceutical world.

Medicines, pharmaceutical policy, current events in this sector, healthcare or health in general are some of the topics that are part of the aforementioned media that has become a leader in this field thanks to the fact that it offers the maximum and best information about it.

Global Humanitarian

In the same way, we cannot ignore the existence of an NGO that uses the term that we are now analyzing in depth in its name. We are referring to Global Humanitaria , a non-profit international cooperation organization that has been working for years to improve the living conditions of those who live in disadvantaged areas around the world .

Asia, Africa yAmerica son concretamente los continentes en los que dicha entidad se encuentra funcionando desde 1999. En ellos lleva a cabo distintos planes y proyectos en áreas tales como la educación, la sanidad, la seguridad, los derechos humanos, la alimentación o la protección de la infancia y la mujer.

Among the many proposals it offers, it is worth highlighting that it gives any citizen the opportunity to collaborate with it through the alternative of sponsoring children who are offered a better present and future thanks to those monthly contributions that are made.
