Globalization is a process in which people are connected around the world where cultures, nations and people are networked together. Usually Globalization is greatly connected to new technological changes, such as the internet and other improvements.
Hybridization is an idea that was successful in one area of the world and other places adopt that idea to have that same success. A example can be American Idol, other nations seem to have created their own 'Idol series'. For example there is Canadian Idol, Australian Idol, Pop Idol (UK), Idolos (Brazil), Pinoy Idol (Philippines) and etc. (wikipedia) Hybridization is important because cultures have merged and mixed to create another culture, "Culture A meets Culture B --> Culture C" (Straubhaar Lecture). So that is what Globalization and Hybridization.
