Definition of globalization


The term globalization is a concept and a phenomenon of the development of human society. Globalization currently has many definitions. Globalization in the usual sense refers to the increasing global connections, the development of human life on a global scale, and the rise of global consciousness. Countries are interdependent in politics, economy and trade. Globalization can also be explained as the compression of the world and the viewing of the world as a whole.

Interesting point

Many scholars have different views on globalization.Some think it is a modern concept, while some scholars think it started a long time ago.

My personal opinion is that the specific start time of globalization is vague, and there is no accurate time. It is also reasonable to say that it has already started when the great geography discovery is made. European fleets have appeared on the oceans around the world, looking for new trade routes and trading partners. With the opening of new shipping routes, cultural and trade exchanges between the East and the West began to increase substantially, and free tradeism began to appear. The discovery of the new route had a long-term impact on the development of all continents in the world hundreds of years later. Also because of the opening of new shipping routes, many unknown continents and regions have been discovered, and the world has begun to become closely connected. In my opinion, there is a certain degree of globalization involved.

Discuss
Do you have any views on the sources of globalization? Was it when the new route was opened? Or when do you think it is?

    I think that the discovery of the New World actually boosted communication between countries. And by identifying each other's position, nations formed a relationship between them. The pursuit of equal globalization was only a short time ago. I think it is the development of the Internet that provided an opportunity for equal communication.

is such fight visible in your country?

Summary) Currently, Korea is confused. The sudden increase in taxes and various regulations greatly affected housing and salaries. It's a real mess right now. With the inauguration of the new administration, our country has become very difficult. They're taking all the money away from the people who are misleading the people. This is very wrong. Rich people are stealing money even though they didn't save it by doing bad things. Poor people hiding stirred up the government's fault. As a result, the fight between the poor and the rich continues. It is very wrong to do this. Interesting) Many countries are fighting with taxes. Is this really right? The country should be united, but each of them is fighting for each other's right. This is very wrong, and we'll have to get it right soon. Question) What are we going to do? What can we do for those who are instigated? They are no longer tempted by the government to think properly. What can we help you with?

  1、Power distance Power distance is the degree of power and dictatorship of leadership in an organization, and the extent to which a society can accept the inequality of power distribution in an organization.

Reading 2. What is the relation between culture and globalization? / Kim Yoon(김윤)

Summary John Tomlinson wrote a paper on the correlation between globalization and culture. Today, globalization is well known as a multidimensional process in which areas of economy, politics, technology, media, environment and culture taking place simultaneously. In addition, the boundaries between them are vague and often appear to be joined together. This connectivity increases and affects human life. Therefore, understanding these trends makes us keep in mind the complex and multidimensional processes between them. John saw this understanding as inseparable from the capitalist system, citing two reasons. The first is because we are not making simple imperialist judgments with this. Second, because this distorts understanding at the cultural level.   One of the common speculations about globalization is that it will lead to a single world culture. There is a reason why this seems possible. Because we can see a unified effect, especially in connecting other spiritual memories, s...
