From the word Globalization, it can be inferred that we are referring to integration of different countries worldwide, either economically, socially or technologically. It is probable that the first thing that comes in our mind when we hear the word Globalization is the free-trade among different countries where there is no barriers to international trade. However, globalization is not confined to economic aspects only because it can also be defined as the spread of products, investment, technology, information and job across national boarders and cultures. And pertaining to this meaning, we can identify the circumstances in the story of Gio and Latif that shows globalization and its impacts.

And lastly, is when Gio notices that Singapore and Malaysia has their similarities and that Laksa is also available there, and as we all know, in our world today different products, business and technologies from different countries became available worldwide because of globalization and this has a great impact on trade and industry of different countries. Globalization has a really great impact especially to those developing countries because it helps them improve and catch up with the industrialized nations. Globalization helps economy grow, have efficient trading and brings technology and jobs to developing country. But this can also have negative impact because the downturn of one country can greatly affect another, however as long as we are responsible, globalization will have good impact just like how Gio and Latif became friends despite of their differences in nationality and culture....
