If we look for examples of the use of the term ‘globalisation’ in real life, we will realise that it is used in various contexts. Let us look at some examples:

Many retail shopkeepers fear that they will lose their livelihoods if some major international companies open retail chains in the country.
A film producer in Mumbai was accused of lifting the story of his film from another film made in Hollywood.
