Globalization refers to the integration of different cultures, values, and ways of life. It is important in education because it teaches students about diverse cultures and ideas they may not have otherwise encountered. Globalization can be applied in education by teaching students to be global citizens, respecting diversity, and feeling part of an interdependent community. Examples of globalization in education include creating a simulated United Nations where students represent different countries and completing community service projects that expose students to other cultures.
