520			_a"The most important challenges facing the world in the 21st century are associated with globalization, the growing interconnectedness of people and places through converging processes of economic, political and cultural change. Once-distant regions are now increasingly linked together through commerce, communications and travel. Many observers argue that globalization is the most fundamental reorganization of the planet's social and economic structures since the Industrial Revolution. While few overlook the widespread changes brought about by globalization, not everyone agrees on whether the benefits outweigh the costs."
