What is Globalization?

#SUMMARY

 Globalization doesn’t define distinctly. But people have tried to define globalization in correct terms. Therefore, there is too many explanations about globalization. Since it cannot be defined in exact terms, people are explaining globalization with the characteristics of globalization.

  First of all, globalization can be explained by increased connectivity between countries. As connectivity between countries increases, opinions or ideas shared by different countries arise. However, this is not to say that the idea is in agreement. Opinions may differ, but in globalization, countries can share opinions among themselves.

  And also, globalization is said to have been created by the establishment of a U.N. agency. In that respect, it explains that the purpose of the United Nations is globalization. The globalization of the United Nations focuses on four criteria. : Nation-states; world polities; individuals; and humankind

  It also explains globalization through the composition of globalization. Globalization consists of four parts: culture, society, politics, and economy. These are the most important aspects of people's lives. These four factors are closely interconnected.

  Because there are various explanations for globalization as above, people try to define globalization in clear sentences. But it's a meaningless effort. Globalization is absolutely impossible to explain clearly.

#INTERESTING POINT

  After reading this article, I searched the authors of this article for understanding. Then Roland Robertson found that he had not only a good position on globalization. He described globalization as just another colonialism and described it as an anti-globalization phenomenon.

#DISCUSSION

  So I want to talk about whether globalization is good or bad. What are the advantages and disadvantages of globalization? I think the advantage of globalization is the propagation of democracy. I think globalization is a good thing in that it has delivered liberalism and democracy to all countries. Also, I think it is good that the cultures of various countries are shared and converged through globalization, and new cultures are emerging.

  But, in globalization, I can't help think that the world shares the culture of some of the great powers. This is what I think is the downside of globalization. I think that if true globalization proceeds, the culture of all countries should really be shared. But not now. It seems that American pop culture has taken over the world. For this reason, non-American culture became a subculture, was compared and discriminated against. This is a problem created by globalization.

  1. It is said that they contributed to the development through exchange between countries due to technology sharing and cultural sharing.

    Globalization 's disadvantage side has become stronger because of international neoliberalism, technological innovation, and income inequality between countries.
