Why are you taking this class? / Choi Sojeong

 When I was young, my uncle studied in China. Sometimes, my uncle used to give me the things he bought from China as a gift when he came to Korea. But now, even if I don't go to China, I can easily buy such things. 

It's not just things anymore. We can now watch K-pop singers on foreign TV programs. And we can also see foreigners enthusiastic about K-pop singers. For example, recently BTS topped the Billboard chart. 

But when I took the class, not only culture but also economics and political are important factors. But I still seem to understand only 'cultural globalization'. So I want to learn how not only culture but also economics, political are globalized through class.

And I'm working for an advertising company now. In order to advertise a brand, it's necessary to grasp not only Korea but also globalization trends. So I think studying globalization will definitely help a lot. I wish I could apply the theory I learned in this class to practice.

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?

 In a broad sense of globalization, that is, in terms of social communication across national boundaries and regions, globalization has already existed, but it has become more significant in recent decades.

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...
