Global

Global

Global is a synonym of "worldwide" and means of, or relating to, or involving the entire world, in the general sense or as the planet Earth. [ [http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/50095613?single=1&query_type=word&queryword=Global&first=1&max_to_show=10 "Global"] , Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition 1989 ]

The adjective global and the adverb globally mean pertaining to, or embracing, the totality of a number of items, categories, etc. They also mean comprehensive and all-inclusive.

It has been argued that global has replaced international or world as a way of referring to issues, processes and structures that affect human beings collectively.
