Question:

Which aspect of global flows is likely to be slower compared to others?

Options:

Movement of peoples

Movement of commodities

Movement of capital

All will move at the same pace

Correct Answer:

Movement of peoples

Explanation:

Answer- Movement of peoples
The movement of capital and commodities is likely to be quicker and wider than the movement of people across different parts of the world.

The ability of ideas, capital, commodities and people to move more easily from one part of the world to another has been made possible largely by technological advances. The pace of these flows may vary. For instance, the movement of capital and commodities will most likely be quicker and wider than the movement of peoples across different parts of the world. Globalisation, however, does not emerge merely because of the availability of improved communications. What is important is for people in different parts of the world to recognise these interconnections with the rest of the world. Currently, we are aware of the fact that events taking place in one part of the world could have an impact on another part of the world. The Bird flu or tsunami is not confined to any particular nation. It does not respect national boundaries. Similarly, when major economic events take place, their impact is felt outside their immediate local, national or regional environment at the global level.
