Why are you taking this class? - Lee Myung Ho

 I has not understood the word “globalization”.

 Because we are living in different countries, cultures, and circumstances in the world, Even Korean with same culture cause conflicts, so i think that we can’t understand each others. 

And I don’t think that the word just means that the world becomes one. 

It must have connoted something. 

So I wonder how professor defines globalization. 

I’m sure that my thinking will be changed when this class is ended.

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.

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.
