Important concepts to know.
Globalization: The worldwide movement toward economic, financial, trade, and
communications integration. Implies the opening of local and nationalistic
perspectives to a broader outlook of an interconnected and interdependent world
with free transfer of capital, goods, and services across national frontiers.
Terrorism: Terrorism has been described variously as both a tactic and strategy; a
crime and a holy duty; a justified reaction to oppression and an inexcusable
abomination. Obviously, a lot depends on whose point of view is being represented.
Terrorism has often been an effective tactic for the weaker side in a conflict.
Unipolar world: we can say that is the context in which the world order is dominated
by one superpower.
Digital era: The historical period characterized by the existence of digital
technology.

Why did the globalization emerge?
Globalization became a buzzword following the end of the Cold War, but the phenomenon
has long been a factor in the foreign relations of the United States. It emerge as a suggestion
of growing interdependence of nations and the development of international institutions,
seemed to capture the essence of what more recently has been termed globalization.
In most cases, what caused the terrorist´s attacks
of XX Century?
Fanatism combined with the injured of a country to another with the Nationalism that was
intensified during the early 20th century. as nations became closely tied to concepts of race
and ethnicity, international political
developments began to support such
concepts. Members of ethnic groups
whose states had been absorbed by
others or had ceased to exist as
separate nations saw opportunities to
realize nationalist ambitions. Several of
these groups chose terror as a method
to conduct their struggle. The largest act
of international terrorism occurred on
September 11, 2001 in a set of coordinated
attacks on the United States
of America, where Islamic terrorists
hijacked civilian airliners and used them
to attack the World Trade Centre (WTC)
towers in New York City and the
Pentagon in Washington, DC.

How does the end of the Cold
War relate with the Unipolar
World?
The cold war defined two blocs, one against the other in
more than just one aspect. When the countries were
involved in the cold war the bloc tried to fight the other,
because they had different ideas and economic
systems. When the Cold War ended the communist bloc
died and the supremacy of the capital bloc transformed
the entire world, and the way everything was organized.
In this way the world ended up with only one bloc and
one super power , that is the Unipolar world, only one
point of view ruling the world.

How has the Digital Era influenced today's
society?
Today´s society especially teenagers have the influence of digital era. The world has
evolved to a digital era, in which the technological stuff invade our lives. Every day activities
are related to technological devices. The critical role that technology plays in the
development of society, stimulating not only the economy but society’s socio-cultural values,
rather than being merely a tool of society Social progress has come to be equated with
technical progress, particularly since the Industrial Revolution.
