Simple, everyday signs we ignore are in fact traces of globalization. With increased connectedness of production, communication and technologies across the world, even signs are standardized and easily recognized everywhere. The exit sign is commonly green. Danger signs are red. The initals 'WC' mean its a toilet door. Many of such have become applicable in nearly all countries (most places have toilets, anyway), and important messages such as 'stay away from the guzzling gas tap!' have been, for conveinence's sake, been simplified and reduced to the extended use of basic colours and geometric shapes. Traffic lights are an example.

For many people, holidays (and sometimes work) take the form of travelling overseas to foreign lands. Although we may not speak the language, we understand the use of the colour, recognize the signs, and are able to save ourselves from possible embarrassment, inconveinence, and danger.

So yes, globalization is all around; you just have to look.
