How could we measure cultural globalization?

 

There is a lot of effort to measure globalization. In economical dimension, people try to collect data of economy. For example, data for trade flow, exchange rate trend. In political dimension, people try to collect about political integration. But, Cultural globalization is difficult to measure visible data. Most of cultural idea is not visible and immeasurable.

 

Interesting thing is an idea of ​​globalization measurement. Because I didn’t think that globalization can be measured. So I learned that globalization can be measured and it is important to convert a lots of data to visible and measurable data.

 

In SNS like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, I think that cultural globalization is measurable. They have measurable indicators like Facebook Like, Instagram follower, the number of YouTube subscribers, views. I want discuss about that. Are that reliable indicators? influential indicators? measurable data?
