Social Science (087) — AI-generated practice question

Yes, I agree with this statement. Globalisation represents selective integration, not complete integration.

Globalisation has enabled the free flow of goods, services, investments, and technology between countries. However, the movement of people between countries has not increased significantly due to various restrictions imposed by governments.

Even among goods and services, benefits have been unequal — well-off consumers, skilled workers, and large producers have gained, while small producers and unskilled workers have suffered. Thus, globalisation is selective — it integrates markets and capital but restricts human movement and does not ensure equal benefits for all.

• The key textbook line is: "there has not been much increase in the movement of people between countries due to various restrictions" — quote or paraphrase this directly.
• The examiner wants two things: (1) confirmation that free movement of people is missing, and (2) that benefits are unequal — making it selective, not complete, integration.
• Exercise 13(i) confirms the correct option is (b): movements of goods, services, and investments — not people. Use this logic in your answer.
• Avoid writing a long essay; 3 marks = ~3 crisp points.
