Globalization is the interconnectedness of the world through the increase of telecommunication and technology increase. The world is getting smaller. You can contact your friend in Egypt with a long distance phone call, and it wouldnt be any different than you talking to your friend next door. This increase in communication with the world has led to the invention of terms like Cultural imperialism.
Cultural imperialism is the act of thinking one culture is better than the other culture. To be imperialistic towards another country represents old colonialistic values and attitudes. For instance, one person might have a smug attitude about their country, lets say for kicks, its Bolivia. Bolivians would look down upon Venezuelians because they think that they are culturally "better."
