Globalisation: How it is defined
Globalisation is a controversial concept which means different things to different people. However, generally speaking it describes the way that production, distribution, sales, finance and investment take place without regard to national boundaries. There are a number of forces which determine the spread of globalisation. These include improvements in transport and communications, production of larger amounts of goods, the increasing similarities of consumer tastes, and government policies.

A king and queen once upon a time reigned in a country a great way off, where there were in those days fairies. Now this king and queen had plenty of money, and plenty of fine clothes to wear, and plenty of good things to eat and drink, and a coach to ride out in every day: but though they had been married many years they had no children, and this grieved them very much indeed. But one day as the queen was walking by the side of the river, at the bottom of the garden, she saw a poor little fish, that had thrown itself out of the water, and lay gasping and nearly dead on the bank.

Then the queen took pity on the little fish, and threw it back again into the river; and before it swam away it lifted its head out of the water and said, ’I know what your wish is, and it shall be fulfilled, in return for your kindness to me–you will soon have a daughter.’ What the little fish had foretold soon came to pass; and the queen had a little girl, so very beautiful that the king could not cease looking on it for joy, and said he would hold a great feast and make merry, and show the child to all the land. So he asked his kinsmen, and nobles, and friends, and neighbours.
