Thesis

Globalization and religious fundamentalism contains a tremendous positive impact along with some negative effects on emerging nations across the world. Countries such as South Korea, India and China are now effectively blooming in the global market. Although, there is an alteration in prosperity between developed nations and Third World countries tremendous improvement is being made to balance the economic difference. This dissertation will explore how globalization and religious fundamentalism is radically improving the standard of living in other third world homelands by examining global trade, associability to education and technology.
