Explanation: 1. Globalization has spatial, temporal, cognitive, and social dimensions. The spatial dimension reflects changes in our perceptions of physical space or geographic territory. Movement back and forth across national borders is common and increasingly easy. The temporal dimension addresses changes in our experiences of time. The cognitive dimension of globalization reflects thoughts about us and our world. To work effectively to address worldwide problems, we need to begin to think of ourselves more as global citizens than as citizens of a specific nation. The social dimension of globalization addresses its effects on people in terms of its impact on livelihood and families. The importance of maintaining standard precautions does not support a dimension of globalization.
