Exploring Globalization Defines Universalization: as the spread of culture, trends, customs, and practices around the world.
Similar to the sweeping practice of globalization, universalization is connecting the world through the social aspects of culture. Universalization has been prominent in our society from the time that Christopher Columbus landed in America and brought Christianity and European culture to the North American First Nations people. Many wars have been fought throughout history over forced religion conversions and the like. Maybe one day our world will be uni-cultural through the changes in universalization. However we both believe that would be quite boring.
Dictionary.com defines Universalization as generalizing. A better definition of this is: the spread of cultures and ideas across the globe creating a single culture.

An analogy to Universalization is:
If you look at the countries on a normal map, think of them as different cultures. Todays global positioning of the continents would be the pluralistic society, the Pangea model would be a universalized society. A society where all those cultures are combined into one singular culture- the universal society.
