Globalization is the systematic movement into interconnected planet earth. In this process, the world becomes more and more integrated owing to an increased exchange of views, culture, sport, ideas, products, etc. Developments in connectivity modes such as transportation, telecommunications and other means of information dissemination are the key factors that fuel this interconnectivity with the result that the economies of the world have become interdependent both culturally politically and economically (Haugen 2010)

.From the two hundred and thirty pieces of clothing surveyed by the group, it was evident that consciously or unconsciously, the students of UD are active participants in globalization. In the analysis of the country of origin of the clothes, it was evident that most of the continents were represented. The USA was the leading source of clothing items with a prevalence rate of 32.7%. In the Americas, the other country that emerged as one of the topmost sources of clothing was Mexico which posted a prevalence rate of 7.48%. Asia had the largest number of countries in the large suppliers being represented by China at 12.37%, Hong Kong (10.49%), India (8.18%) and Malaysia (5.06%). Europe was represented by Turkey which had a prevalence rate of 6.83% and Italy at 3.93%.  Morocco represented Africa with an impressive 2.50%.

In the choice of particular items of clothing, the survey revealed that lingerie (Classified as Others) was more likely than not to be sourced from the USA. All the Suits and skirt suits in the survey were found to have been sourced from Italy. There was, however, indifference about the country of source across the other clothing items with taste and suitability the more only outstanding choice factor.

The students were found to be active players in globalization. Though most of the clothing items were purchased in malls without regard for country of origin, brand names were also a major factor that determined the country of choice. It was found that most of the branded clothes were either American made or came from China. It is also worth mentioning that some of these clothing items were found to have been sourced from online stores and others through direct calls to the retailers either locally or abroad and delivered by post. It was surprising to learn that though one might not have set foot outside their country of birth, they were active participants in the global economy.

That the world has become a global village was a fact that dawned on the students and with ever-advancing technology, this trend is bound to continue(Boudreaux, 2008). It also emerges that in everyday activities like choosing what to wear is always a passive activity in the wheel of globalization which is moving in an ever increasing pace.
