Humans have always settled within their own localities where they have been acquainted to as their homes and comfort zones. This has been the case for over many centuries. The constant characteristic of humans to explore and learn new things has changed this notion. Humans have continuously been on the move as some look for new settlement places while others are just curious and want to explore new things. Others have been forced to move to new vicinities due to pressure resulting from uncontained population growth and eventual explosion or being displaced due to wars, hunger or other natural disasters.
This movement that is limited to surrounding localities has increased significantly to a point that people have been able to cross borders and travel far and wide for business, educational or exploration purposes. This has led to imminent sharing of cultures, ideologies and interaction between different nations and continents. The processes involving all these activities are referred to as globalization. Extensively, it is described as the integrations of all the activities involved in globalization including transportation, information sharing and rise of new communities (Ritzer, 2005, 78).

[...] Financial globalization has more than often been blamed for the economic crisis that faced a number of developing countries. When decision on economic prosperity is made without considering the impact it may have on the global market may lead to major risks including large scale bankruptcies. For instance, the financial turmoil that rocked Latin America lead to major crisis that affected Mexico and other Asian countries. The impact if the crisis leads to the financial meltdown of their economies and the resultant was accusations and counter accusations on who might have been responsible. [...]
[...] This has resulted to a surge or a reduction on the financial flows of developing countries. There is difference in the economic activities of these groups of countries between the developing and the already advanced countries.
