Globalization is like having all your friends share their toys, but now some kids are taking their toys back home.
What Is Deglobalization?
Why Is This Happening?
Imagine you're building a big tower with blocks, each block is made in a different country. You send the blocks across the world to put them together. That’s globalization.
But now, some kids are saying, “Why do we need so many blocks from far away when we can make our own?” So they start making more blocks at home and use fewer from other places. That’s like deglobalization, countries using more of their own stuff instead of relying on others.
Sometimes, people get tired of waiting for blocks to arrive or paying too much for them. So they bring the block-making back home, just like how some countries are doing now. Globalization is like having all your friends share their toys, but now some kids are taking their toys back home.
