Introduction: Global Communication is the process by which people from different cultural backgrounds try to communicate with each other. Due to advancement in science, technology and rapid expansion in global business, global communication has taken a giant leap in terms of reaching billions of people in the world. The expansion of global communication can also be attributed to the fast changing nature and the competitiveness of the business world. However, this rapid expansion of global communication has also seen some setbacks due to cultural differences, differences in communication distribution and ethnocentrism.

Conclusion: So, like any other field, global communication also has  a few areas of difficulty. However, as the goal of global communication is to understand the world better and eliminate differences; the challenges can be easily worked upon if people from all the regions try to be positive and come forward. If these gaps are removed, then the world would be even a better place to live in.
