Which of the following would not contribute to increasing globalization?
Decreased dependence on international resources
Increased international trade
Increased international investments
Decreased restrictions on immigration
Increased international communication
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.
