At the very beginning let me tell you that I am not a very mathematically/ statistically oriented person. In fact I hate both. I don’t think that life is a formula and if life is not a formula nothing else that revolves around life can be either.
But, I must say that I love the term correlation normally used by statisticians. To me it simply means the relation between two or more objects and changing one affects the other.
So simple; yet such a powerful concept…
In fact I think everyone and everything is correlated.
See for example when all the manufacturing in the world shifts to china…it means other countries losing jobs…and the Chinese gaining those jobs
When American economy slows down, the world gets into recession.
In a nutshell, in this world everyone and everything is interconnected by an invisible bond…you fiddle with one and the other gets affected consciously or unconsciously…strange

I think you described globalisation in a nutshell there, my friend!
