Globalization

 An extreme globalist is a globalization necessity. Neoliberals hailed the victory of individual autonomy and market principles over state power. They believed that globalization was the inevitable result of economic logic. Therefore, they praised the single global competition rule as a sign of human progress and called globalization a real precursor to global civilization. . For example, after the Cold War, Fukuyama, the ideological standard-bearer of contemporary neoliberalism, immediately declared the global victory of the free market concept, preaching that liberalism is the historic "end" of ideology. The ultra-globalist Kenichi Ohmae believes that contemporary globalization marks a new era in which all nations are increasingly subject to the constraints of the global market. Some neo-Marxists such as Gil and Amin also believe that contemporary globalization represents the victory of oppressive global capitalism. They condemned the expansion of global capitalism for causing new economic and political inequality, but they did not deny that globalization is an inevitable process of economic development.

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.
