Globalization is when societies and cultures from all over the world become more united through some form of media or phenomenon. But if you want a more solid definition then according to the lecture, "Globalization is a process of increasing interconnectedness among nations, cultures, and people."s
One way that globalization occurs is through glocalization which is pretty much the fusion of global and local. Glocalization is when one form of culture or phenomenon starts out small and becomes huge enough that it becomes know and is used around the world. An example of this is when music is first written and played and it becomes such a big hit that eventually it becomes known on a global scale. That process that became such a big hit locally is then used globally to try and reach that same result.

In this case that was presented above, a "local" artist was recommended to make a music page from her friends. After taking the advice that was used by many other artists who made it big this way, she ended up reaching that same result. From a computer at home, she became a successfully known artist.
Another example is when a band first starts out playing at local shows in small venues to becoming more popular to then progressed to playing to larger audiences in different countries.
