<em>"Globalization" </em>happens when people interact globally or around the world. This creates an <em>"interdependence" </em>among nations. However, when there's a pandemic, several businesses halt operations. There's also <em><u>little interaction among people</u></em> for fear of contracting the virus. This leads to <em>fewer business transactions</em>, especially those following the<em> cross-border trade. </em>Having a weaker intensity in international endeavors, <u>globalization will definitely slow down because there will be no exchanges</u>. This affects the different markets and economic systems, which globalization heavily relies on.
