With the reduction of available…

Globalization and human relations go hand in hand. What does that mean exactly? Globalization affects human relations, as human relations affects globalization. During my research, I have found that globalization involves communication and the cooperation of people around the world. Globalization and human relations coincide with one another because without having the ability to work together, nations could not advance.
