Blogging through Sociology of Globalization (2020)

1. Summary We need to understand the meaning of 'cultural globalization'. First of all, globalization refers to multidimensional things. It is implemented simultaneously within the realm of economic, political and technological development. That is, global connectivity can be accelerated and integrated. Clifford Geertz says, 'Culture is not power and social events can be attributed causally'. It can be understood to have a potential impact on people's cultural experiences. If we ask, 'what is culture?' we can answer that it creates meaning of life. Where meaning is equivalent to the material need for housing and maintenance. One common guess about the globalization process is that it will lead to a single world culture. Roland Robertson quotes the world as a 'single place'. Ethnic states restrict their autonomy. independently order their economic problems or local industrial environmental impacts. The overwhelming global economic system of the develo

 1. Summary Since the transnational process, political globalization has been discussed a lot. Politics resulting from transnational networks is a process of de-territorialization and re-territorialization, and for some, the political globalization process opens up a new sense of liberation. For others, it also lead to the loss of autonomy and the division of the world. There are three processes that interact to produce a complex field of world politics. World geopolitics Global normative culture mult-psychological network One of the most widespread forms of political globalization is global dissemination. In other words, globalization is global dissemination. In other words, globalization does not weaken a democratic nation, but is accepted globally. However, this is not an end to ideology, but an increasingly different kind of ideology spreads. The first dimension of political globalization is geopolitics of global power.  The second aspect is the emergence of a global normative cult

  The most serious social problem in Korean society in the 20th century was poverty, but inequality became the most serious social problem in the 21st century. I think the reason why inequality started is because of 'income'. This is because income is widening the gap between the rich and the poor. In a capitalist society, people buy the necessary services as goods called 'money'. Of course, the rich can purchase more than they need, and the poor often cannot. I think what is essential for human life can be purchased according to income, and conflicts are arising as there is a difference between no and no. Therefore, various methods are being applied to resolve the conflict, but there seems to be no plausible way yet. Currently, there is a lot of talk about Korea's public housing policy. There is a story that public housing, which is to have one's own home, is meaningless. And people still call people who buy rental houses 'Elsa(a person who lives in LH)'

 It was surprising when the 3D printer was first released to the world. I thought there would be great development in the industrial sector. I thought it would simply help make parts. However, it is using 3D printers in various fields. In China, they built houses with 3D printing, and Boeing is said to be manufacturing airplane parts. And medical circles say that they are making artificial teeth and prosthetics. I think 3D printing will have a big impact on the cultural and economic sectors. The first cultural field will be 'personalization, customization'. Because you can make it with 3D printing with the design we want. We are buying mass-produced items now, but if 3D printing are developed further, it will be mass personalization. It's amazing to see customized items now, but it will become common soon. In the second economic sector, various jobs will be created. Some people think that jobs will be reduced because machines replace people. However, 3D printers are being u

  I think Korea is still close to 'collectivist'. I think it's about 30 in number. There is Korean saying, 'Happiness is double when shared, sadness is half when shared'.  I think this word represents the tendency of Korea well. The same is true of today's COVID. Many people are suffering from the COVID. There are a lot of negative comments, but overall, the atmosphere is that we should work together to overcome them. I think the action of the community in particular play an important role in this crisis. This is why government briefings have repeatedly emphasized the need for the people's power. Koreans follow the governments' 'social distancing' guidelines and wear masks. And there was no hoarding of necessities because it was not an individualistic. And even through everyone was having a hard time, they held a '#덕분에 challenge' and collected donations for the medical staffs. It is not just the social atmosphere. Individuals jokingly say

  I think I am still influenced by American culture. There is a saying called ‘cultural colonization’. And it’s said that cultural colonization is related to various political and economic relations. It’s not just affected by the part ‘culture’. Therefore, cultural independence is important. So I thought about this question. We often hear from various media outlets that Korean people are influencing the world. For example, people like BTS, Son Heung-min, and Rye Hyun-jin. I am proud of them as Koreans, but I think they are all part of the culture. The reason why they became famous is because they have good song and good skills. But isn’t it recognized by people all over the world as an ‘influential person’ because they won awards at a huge Western awards ceremony? Unless you’re really interested in music and sports, I think you’ll get to know them after hearing that “BTS topped the Billboard chart”. And the famous BTS also made a song consisting only of English for the American market.
