Abstract
Globalization is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon involving the increasing interconnectedness and interdependence of countries and cultures around the globe. It encompasses a wide range of economic, social, political and cultural processes. This study addresses the negative implications of globalization on correspondence, identifying the circumstances and ways in which globalization has affected society, and a comparison between electronic and traditional correspondence. Also, we discussed some benefits of globalization, because globalization is a symbol of contemporaneity, having an uninterrupted evolution in all fields.
