Check out "Collapse" by Jared Diamond. Just check up globalization in the index and you got loads of good information.

If you have heard about Ritzer, he has quite alot to say in his books, but my textbook is custom published so getting a copy will be tough >_<
basically Globalization is "the spread of worlwide practices, relations, consciousness, and organization of social life"
it can be analyzed culturally, economically, politically and institutionally.
some keywords you can check out:
Homogeneity
Heterogeneity
Globalism
Globality
Cultural Differentialism
Cultural Convergence
Cultural Hybridization
the best piece you can write in your essay about the sociology of globalisation would be to elaborate on cultural theory... cultural theory has 3 paradigms within it so basically you can provide good examples and also understand more about the sociology of globalisation.
if ur confused about cultural theory u can gimme a pm, there's too much info to type down off the top of my head!
