These trends are often interdependent and cannot be easily separated. The various factors associated with trends in globalization, has been shown to affect population growth. In addition, advances in technology can have significant impacts on society. Technology has allowed global commercial transactions to take place at increasingly faster rates, and at greater volumes across national borders. This has also led to other challenges regarding global commerce, which involve the complex coordination, interaction and compliance of current international and domestic laws. The information in Section IV., includes literature, as well as news, and statistical sources that assist with researching trends in globalization.
