Globalization

The global market economy has demonstrated great productive capacity and that its
potential for good is greatly needed. It has already opened the door to many benefits, such as promoting open societies and opening economies, and encouraging a free exchange of goods, ideas and knowledge. In addition, growing interaction among people across the world is helping develop a growing sense of interdependence, commitment to shared universal values and unity of purpose among peoples that can and should be channeled to build informed and democratic global governance in the interests of all.

Positive interdependence means that team members need each other to succeed. A childhood example is the three-legged race. Each team player has the same goal in mind. Though smaller than the typical groups, it illustrates clearly the dependence each teammate has with the other individual. This can also be a scenario used with globalization.
