This movement resulted in the formation of the global village. The global village, as described by McLuhan, is the shrinking of the world into a village by electronic technology, and the speedy movement of information to different places.  Communication and Globalization globalization in communication refers to the growing social connections and the expansion of communities worldwide. It involves the mutual dependence of people and nations, the rise of a common language for better understanding, and the development of global communication skills. These skills include the four macro skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing, along with the use of non-verbal communication. Developing one's global communication skills can lead to cultural diversity. What is cultural diversity? Cultural diversity refers to people from different cultures or nations respecting each other's differences. This respect for differences results from their cultural divergence, i.e., how people process communication, how other people speak, and how these people see and understand the world around them. What is communication style? A communication style is how you use your verbal and non-verbal skills in communicating your message to your recipient. How your receivers understand your message and how the communication process will prosper will depend on how you shift your style. 3 TYPES OF COMMUNICATION STYLE : Direct or Indirect self-enhancing or self-effacing elaborate or understated.  01 02 03 Direct or Indirect.
