Abstract
"Globalization is a term employed to describe “a process (or sets of processes) which embodies a transformation in the spatial organization of social relations and transactions—assessed in terms of their extensity, intensity, velocity and impact, generating transcontinental or interregional flows and networks of activity, interaction and the exercise of power.”2 Thus, globalization is never restricted to the contemporary era, that is, since the late 1960s, but long before the technological advances, world religions unquestionably constitute one of the most powerful and significant forms of the globalization of culture in the pre-modern era, and even possibly now. One of the differences between the pre-modern and contemporary is simply the degree of interconnectedness, but this degree of difference results in a completely different world."
