Globalization and Its Impact on Local Communities
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness of economies, cultures, and societies through trade, technology, migration, and communication. While it brings opportunities for growth and cultural exchange, it also poses challenges for local communities, traditions, and economies.

The Relationship Between Economic Growth and Social Development
Economic growth and social development (improvements in education, health, equality, and quality of life) are closely connected. However, growth does not always guarantee development—it depends on how resources are distributed and managed.
How Consumer Behavior Reflects Social Values
Consumer behavior is not only about buying products—it also mirrors what people in a society value, believe in, and prioritize. The way people spend money often reflects cultural norms, moral standards, and social aspirations.
