Which of the following would not contribute to increasing globalization?

Possible Answers:

Increased international investments

Increased international communication

Increased international trade

Decreased dependence on international resources

Decreased restrictions on immigration

Correct answer:

Decreased dependence on international resources

Explanation:

Globalization refers to the spread of culture, both material and non-material, and the integration of these elements around the world. Increased international trade, investment, communication, and immigration facilitate the spread of ideas and cultural principles from one society to another. In contrast, decreasing the dependence of one nation on another restricts the flow of materials and information, thus decreasing the effect of globalization.
