Globalization is the idea that people, regardless of their geographic status, can be connected to diverse cultures and products around the world. Even though critics disagree on the idea of ​​globalization, it's hard to dispute the exponential progress it has made and the social changes happening all over the world thanks to social media. The idea of ​​globalization is becoming more and more feasible as the Internet continues to evolve. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are growing, forming vast global communities acting for social, environmental and even political change. This ability to unify multitudes of people via the Internet is a step towards a utopia, establishing equality and reducing poverty around the world. However, critics say this global connection only causes societal chaos and political instability. Speaker Erik Qualman, author of Socialnomics, said: “We don't have a choice about whether or not we do social media, the question is how well we do it. » Qualman coined the term "Socialnomics" to refer to this revolutionary change in the way we process information. Social media sites are part of the path of positive globalization because they are interactive and community-based (Hutton and Fosdick, 2011). Social media is making a radical move to include users around the world. According to research by Erik Qualmans, it took radio thirty-eight years to reach fifty million users, television thirteen years, and the Internet four years, while Facebook managed to reach two hundred million users. in less than a year. The massive expansion of social media is incomparable to the reach of previous means of communication due to its unlimited capacity. Social media has become a global movement and continues to grow by the second. This ability to communicate...... middle of paper ...... a revolutionary change in the way we send and receive information. Erik Qualman states in his book Socialnomics “if Facebook were a country, it would be the third largest country in the world”. This progressive change in communication affects our lives in all its aspects. The idea that geographic status plays no role in the circulation of cultures seems far-fetched. But with the growth of social media and the Internet, more and more online communities are forming and bringing profound changes. Although some argue against the idea that globalization is a good thing, there is no doubt that social media has made the idea of ​​globalization more realistic. This type of unity is progress toward a global culture, ideally establishing equality and reducing poverty. The global connection allows countries to influence each other. The controversy is whether these influences will be beneficial or harmful.
