Define Globalization and Communication * Globalization is an integration between two or more countries; it may be economically, socially, politically, and culturally. * Globalization has widely increased the availability of information for people across the world. By the use of internet and advanced mobile services, people are able to discuss business plans and proposals on an international level as well as exchange private data securely. * Communication has a symbolic nature and is an act of sharing one's ideas, emotions, attitudes, or perceptions with another person or group of persons through words (written or spoken), gestures, signals, signs, or other modes of transmitting images. * Global communication have also contributed to the enlightenment and development of the globalization process in a number of states. * To communicate effectively, one should develop not only skills, but also a sense of empathy with others. ### II. What is Communication in Relation to Globalization? * Communication is the lifeblood of any organization and globalization poses new challenges to communication in any organization. One immediate effect is the increase in intercultural communication. Communication in the 21st century is increasingly transnational and intercultural. * Consequently, effective global communication proves to be a challenge to many people since cultural diversity increases the possibility of miscommunication. * Another important consequence of globalization is the rise of World Englishers where each country boasts of its own variety of English. Experts claim that the Englishers are different in relation to word use, pronunciation, accent, and grammar. As such, the challenges to intercultural communication do not only include problems in slang or idiomatic expressions which non-native speakers usually find problematic, but also grammatical and pronunciation variations and other verbal as well as non-verbal facets of language. ### III. Impacts of Globalization on Communication 1. Virtual Interaction * Communicating via online setting to other people that does not necessarily required in face-to-face interactions. 2. Cultural Awareness in Speech * Two people are speaking the same language, cultural differences can affect vocabulary, colloquial expressions, voice tone and taboo topics. 3. Cultural Awareness in Body Language * To understand acceptable speaking distances, conflict styles, eye contact and posture in different cultures, accepting that the physical expressions of their own culture are not universally accepted. 4. Time Differences * The need to communicate and share information with people across several time zones. When people collaborate with others on the other side of the globe, their counterparts are usually at home asleep while they themselves are at work. ### IV. Impacts of Globalization on Global Communication 1. Availability of Information * The view that with the spread of businesses delivering internet, satellite tv and mobile services, the costs of such information technologies dropped. The decreased price makes it easier for people across the world to make use of the World Wide Web and the resources available. 2. Business Conduct * Long distance travels are no longer necessary for business people as they require a meeting with a business partner overseas. Internet technology makes it possible to exchange business information and conduct video conferences. 3. Social Awareness * Information technology and networks enable them to share opinions, views, work on projects and research different areas. These are among the main reasons why the process of globalization is creating a sense of a global society. 4. The Problem * Despite its quick spread and continuous development, global communication has not reached the majority of people on all continents. It is at least 70% of all people in Africa will never make a single phone call or use internet. # In A Nutshell * The influence of globalization in recent decades has impacted the types of communication skills needed in various ways. * Today, we need to understand the dynamics of long-distance collaboration, the impact of culture on manners of speaking and body language, and how we use technology to communicate with people on the other side of the globe.
