Answer 2

The correct answer is B) transportation.

Globalism in the twentieth century was promoted by advances in transportation.

Globalism sees the entire planet as a place to exert political and economic influence, basically through trade. That is why transportation has promoted this globalized arena in most countries of the world.

This globalism approach revolutionized societies around the world during the 20th century. It has allowed people, cultures, and ideas to spread rapidly to areas that may not have had access to them before.

Although faced with many difficulties in some countries and by some nationalistic leaders, globalization will continue to affect the world in the 21st century. Trade regions or associations will add to their base to include more members and trade among them. This is the case of the European Union, APTA (Asian Pacific Trade Agreement), or USMCA (former NAFTA-the North America Trade Agreement).
