[Reading Assignment1] What is Globalization?-Lee Eunsuk

Summary 
Globalization is a phenomenon caused by increased global connectivity and increased global awareness. The U.N. agency explains globalization in four forms. First, there is what can be called world politics. This is an international-systemic aspect. Second, it's humanity, the impact which covers the component of humanity. The relationship between humans and animals and human rights are constantly changing. Third, it's an individual. This is the totality of individual selves. The increase in individualization has had a sufficient impact on self-identity. Self-identity is the cornerstone of homogeneity formation. Fourth, it is a nation-state. It can be said that globalization has been changed by ethnic states. The subdivisions of Globalization include economy, culture, politics and society. The concept to be noted in the economic sector is Glocalization. The need to change the brand to suit the local situation has emerged while expanding the same products and services. This suggests that capitalism is related to a cultural subject. In the cultural sector, we can see uniformity of codes of conduct and symbols between countries. This allows us to communicate with each other ideas, meanings and values. And it affects other things as well. In the political globalization, conflicts between developing and developing countries over Amazon development can be cited. In the social sector, attention is paid to the globalization of social customs and relationships. We should recognize it as a conceptual position. Then we should constantly communicate, and pay attention to what global society we will create. 

Interesting Point 
That a nation-state has had a profound impact on globalization is fascinating to me.This is because I have never thought of a nation-state directly linking it to globalization.

Discussion 
How will countries interact after COVID-19?

Introduction to our blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Fall 2020 class in Sociology of Globalization at the Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. For each section of the course, you are expected to post a blog post on relevant readings on our blog here and make a comment on another student's post. An ideal commentary should be about 800 words, divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention of any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incorporated into our class discussions. You are allowed to quote an interesting passage from the text(s) you've read, but the quotes will not count toward any length requirements. Blog’s deadline is always: Sunday, midnight, of the week the question is posted. Re

What are the pros and cons of using Naver versus Google for research purposes? / Jeong hye min

 Naver and Google can access various information and articles using search engines. In particular, Google does not have a lot of information other than information search and unnecessary advertisements, and there are many papers.  On the contrary, Naver is often unsuitable because there are many advertisements on blogs and uncertain sites that are sponsored or written for manuscript fees. Google is not classified in categories, making it difficult to find the information it wants.
