can you help about contemporary words ​

Globalization is the process of connecting the world through trade, culture, technology, and ideas. It began long ago with ancient trade routes like the Silk Road, grew during the Age of Exploration, expanded further in the Industrial Revolution, and became faster with the internet in the modern era. We can see three phases: Globalization 1.0 (1492–1800) led by countries through exploration, Globalization 2.0 (1800–2000) led by companies through industrialization, and Globalization 3.0 (2000–present) led by individuals using digital technology. The Homogenization Theory says globalization makes the world more alike in culture, like eating the same fast food or watching the same shows, while the World-Systems Theory explains that countries are divided into core, semi-periphery, and periphery, showing that some nations benefit more than others. Globalization can unite people but also raises questions about fairness and preserving cultural diversity.
