Changes brought about by globalization

 Observing the changes brought about by globalization can be divided into narrow sense and broad sense. Globalization in a narrow sense focuses on technological progress and changes in economic activities; globalization in a broad sense extends to political, cultural, and social aspects.

In fact, the discussion of globalization can be traced back to the 1960s. Many early commentators focused on globalization in the narrow sense, and its shortcomings were not comprehensive enough, but its explanations also have advantages, that is, they have a clear image and hit the nail on the head. Many of them are vivid explanations that have been widely quoted today. It is also helpful for everyone to understand the concept of "globalization" initially. Here are a few examples:

"Global Village"

In the early 1960s, M. McLuhan proposed this concept, mainly to explore the development of media (especially television), so that different places on the earth can obtain the same information, promote the integration of different places, and make the earth become like a village. close. This can be said to be the forerunner of "globalization" discourse.

Globalization of Market

T. Levitt wrote an article in Harvard Business Review in 1983, predicting that the power of the media will enable consumers all over the world to receive the same information, which will make global tastes and needs more uniform and create a unified global consumer market.

The Borderless World

A book written by Kenichi Ohmae in 1990 also focuses on cross-border economic activities driven by multinational companies, transcending the boundaries between countries on the earth, and making the world a borderless world.

All three are quite influential works, which vividly express the significance of globalization to human society. Their basic point of view is to anticipate that the power of technology and the market will dissolve boundaries and differences on the earth, bring progress to the world, and bring people's cultural integration. Globalization is the gradual integration of the world. Among them, "global village" and "nothing "The Boundary World" can express this very well.

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.

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?
