在托福寫作、GRE以及GMAT ISSUE寫作中，全球化的概念考查非常高頻，而且全球化的概念和影響在其他類型(例如科技、教育、政治以及文化類話題中也高頻被調(diào)用)，因此面對(duì)這個(gè)高頻的主題素材，天道小編特為所有同學(xué)補(bǔ)充全球化的概念的素材段落——全球化包括的五大領(lǐng)域：經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化、政治、宗教和社會(huì)制度。

Globalization can be found in five different areas: economic, cultural, political, religious, and social systems.

It should not be narrowly confused with economic globalization, which is only one aspect. While some scholars and observers of globalization stress convergence of patterns of production and consumption and a resulting homogenization of culture, power, stress, and hunger, others stress that globalization has the potential to take many diverse forms. In economics, globalization is the convergence of prices, products, wages, rates of interest and profits.

Globalization of the economy depends on the role of human migration, international trade, movement of capital, and integration of financial markets. The International Monetary Fund notes the growing economic interdependence of countries worldwide through increasing volume and variety of cross-border transactions, free international capital flows, and more rapid and widespread diffusion of technology.
