What has been a key factor in the rise of global communities?

Increased communication
War and violence
Changes in social norms
Improved medical care

The correct answer is: Increased communication

Global communities have been able to rise due to increased communication between individuals, groups, and nations. This communication, facilitated by advancements in technology, has allowed individuals to connect and form relationships across borders and continents. Option B, war and violence, typically has the opposite effect as it creates divides between groups and nations. Option C, changes in social norms, may also contribute to the rise of global communities, but it is not the key factor as it does not necessarily involve communication between individuals. Option D, improved medical care, may improve the lives of individuals within a community but does not necessarily connect them to others globally. Therefore, increased communication is the most essential factor in the rise of global communities.
