Blog assignment 1. What Is Globalization?

What Is Globalization?

Summary

Many different topics are included under the rubric of globalization, such as global  governance, global citizenship, human rights, migration and the creation of diasporas, transnational  connections of various kinds and so on.

The most important single definition feature of globalization is that it is very extensive to think that it increases connectivity, whether considered a very long-term or rather short-term process. The main dimensions of globalization can indeed be defined as culture, society, politics, and economy. When referring to the social dimension, we should emphasize that communication is included.

In many current authors' studies on globalization, it has been suggested that it is useful to think that the process of globalization has been adapted in a general way to the following patterns. First, most definitely, there's an international system aspect for simplicity. Second, there is an aspect that encompasses the most common features of Earth and human life: the concept of humanity. Third, there is another element that we call individual self. Finally, for centuries there has been a major 'courage' of human beings, namely the nation-state.

After all, globalization consists mainly of two major directional trends: global connectivity and increased global awareness. Consciousness does not mean agreement, it is just a shared sense of the whole world. In addition, globalization has a special form that has been completed by the establishment of the United Nations agency. Globalization is constituted by four major facets of human life –  namely, the cultural, the social, the political and the economic.

Interesting point

I found it interesting that there was no standard for what a completely globalized world would look like. The reason is that a globalized world is impossible. Approaching this problem through the concept of globalization, we can see that globalization is in fact an inevitable and increasingly self-constrained process. In other words, globalization doesn't really make sense, as long as all ideas and practices have to adapt to context and niche, and it's a homogenizing force.

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?

  1、Power distance Power distance is the degree of power and dictatorship of leadership in an organization, and the extent to which a society can accept the inequality of power distribution in an organization.

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...
