Read the passage and answer the question: Globalisation is a multi-dimensional concept. It has political, economic, and cultural manifestations, and these must be adequately distinguished. It is wrong to assume that globalisation has purely economic dimensions, just as it would also be mistaken to assume that it is a purely cultural phenomenon. The impact of globalisation is vastly uneven — it affects some societies more than others and some parts of some societies more than others. |
Which of the following kinds of flow is not associated with Globalization? |
People moving from one locality to another in the same town People moving in search of better livelihoods to different parts of the world Commodities being traded across borders Ideas moving from one part of the world to another |
People moving from one locality to another in the same town |
The correct answer is Option 1 - People moving from one locality to another in the same town People moving from one locality to another in the same town is not an example of globalisation. Globalization as a concept fundamentally deals with flows. These flows could be of various kinds — ideas moving from one part of the world to another, capital shunted between two or more places, commodities being traded across borders, and people moving in search of better livelihoods to different parts of the world. The crucial element is the ‘worldwide interconnectedness’ that is created and sustained as a consequence of these constant flows. |
