1. Introduction
As the subject for this Paper I choose Globalisation. The main reason for this choice is my fascination with the subject as well as the fact that in the last few years globalisation has become a much-discussed issue.

I will end this Paper with a conclusion, gathering the main points of this paper.

Globalisation is a phenomenon that started to appear at the end of the 19th century with the emergence of industrialisation. Products were produced on a bigger scale with export as a target.
