The world today is huge, just think, in Australia it's tomorrow already. However, globalization has caused us to think that the world isn't really that big.
With TV and the internet we can be anywhere we want in a matter of seconds. We can know exactly what's going on in Beijing and at the same time know what's going on in Canada and Tulsa, Oklahoma. One can effected by what happens all around the globe. I can see a trend from Paris on the TV, internet, or in the paper which makes me want to be a part of that trend too, even though it's popular half way around the world.
One can also see that the world is tied together economically, especially right now. With the current economic situation in the U.S. we aren't the only ones being effected. Tourism in other countries is hurting, trade and production as well. We are all tied together by globalization. Even though our world is so huge that it can already be tomorrow in some places.

I agree with your notion that everyone is tied together in some way. It makes our world into a village rather than a planet. I believe it can all be tied back to how far media has come.
