For the brand of knives see Global (cutlery).

The adjective "global" and adverb "globally" imply that the verb or noun to which they are applied applies to the entire Earth as one unit. It is sometimes used as a synonym for international/internationally but this is incorrect:

• "Global" implicitly implies the concept of "one world", while "international" recognizes that different nations, peoples, and borders exist.
• International is a broader term, in that it can refer to something involving all nations or as few as only two nations, but, presumably, all must be potentially involved before it becomes truly global.
• Nations are concerned wholly and only with humanity's concerns, and that usually in a narrow time frame, whereas there are many global concerns that transcend species or generations.
