Which of the following has played the most important role in the rise of globalization? * Transportation * Communications * Transnational Corporations (TNCs) ------------------------------------------------- In the recent years, the world has been experiencing a rise in globalization.

In my opinion, communications has played the most important role in the rise of globalization.
The worldwide network is being served by four regions outside the U.S.: Canada; Asia-Pacific (APAC); Europe, Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa (EMEA); and Latin America, Caribbean (LAC). Each country offers different features that are design to meet the transportation needs, specific markets and customer service to service each country.

However, after the war, the work made by the Committee on Food Habits ended, but the nutritional advice was kept by the government. The wealth and knowledge about nutritional practices is what America walked out with, but no sense of cultural change to back it up. Cultural change is what offers the best hope for actually changing how Americans eat. “Junking Junk Food” had a reference to how cigarettes are now being portrayed as disgusting and addicting, versus being called cool and sexy, this same exact principal could be put on unhealthy food.

Explain why recently the UK is a destination of economic migrants One of the most high-profile trends of recent economic migration is the higher numbers of migrant workers from the EU joining states Immigration levels in the UK have risen significantly over the past 10 years, driven by sustained economic growth in the UK and the opening up of the labour market to the new EU addition states since 2004. Economic migrant means a person who has left his own country and seeks by lawful or unlawful means to find employment in another country. When Poland and seven other Eastern European countries joined the EU in 2004, the UK received many economic migrants. There were 500,000 workers from Eastern Europe in 2009.

20th Century American History - 3 | How Economic Globalization Transformed the United States | Globalization is defined as an elimination of barriers to trade, communication, and cultural exchange. It is stated that the theory behind globalization is that worldwide openness will promote the inherent wealth of all nations. During the 1990s a lot of change came about that boosted the economy and globalization played its part in it. The economy expanded in the 1990s and the unemployment rate dropped from 7.2 percent in 1992 to 4.0 in 2000. This happened because American businesses were on a rise and they created 12 million jobs.
To put this into perspective, according to Hinojosa-Ojeda's The Economic Benefits of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, "the budget of the U.S Border Patrol has increased by 714 percent, from $326 million to $2.7 billion in 2009." Moreover, "the cost ratio of Border Patrol apprehensions has increased by 1,041 percent, from $272 in 1992 to $3,102 in 2009." In addition, "the number of Border Patrol agents has grown by 390 percent, from 3,555 in 1992 to 17,415 in 2009" (Immigration Reform). The statistics are showing that as the U.S increases spending on immigration enforcement, the cost of capturing an illegal immigrant sky rockets while the number of agents America hires blows up the charts. As a result, the "budget for U.S. Customs and Border Protection has in total increased by 92 percent from $6.0 billion in 2003 to $11.3 billion in 2009" (Immigration Reform).
