Globalization in essence is companies and governments climbing onto the world stage and interacting internationally.
Globalization has helped some, but it has also hurt a lot, specifically through:

During the era of slavery in the United States, the education of African Americans, enslaved and free, was often discouraged, except for religious instruction, and eventually made illegal in many of the Southern states. It was believed that literacy was a threat to the institution of slavery.

Secondly, literacy allowed or potentially allowed slaves better access to information about the Underground Railroad and other routes to freedom.
