 What is the relation between culture and globalization?

Summary

Globalization is a multidimensional process, taking place simaneously within the spheres of the economy, of politics, of technological developments of environmental change and of culture.

Globalization is a network of interconnectedness and interdependencies that define the material, social, economic, and cultural life of modern society. And it is to say that it is a complex accelerating, integrating process of global connectivity.
Most importantly, it's the economic sector, and it's the institution of the world's capitalist markets. That's an important factor, and it's the pinnacle of global connectivity.

We are not dealing with straightforward empirical judgments about what specific practices drive everything else, but also with questions of the constitution of analytical categories: to what extent are economic practices also, intrinsically, cultural ones?

And it is that it distorts our understanding of the realm of culture. Common expressions, such as "the impact of globalization on culture" or "the cultural consequences of globalization," include the implicit assumption that globalization somehow has its roots and operational landscape beyond culture.

Culture is the most satisfying answer is that it is to generate meaning in life. The need for ‘meaning’ is at the deep centre of the human condition.
We have to be careful not to confuse mere cultural goods with the practice of culture itself.

Interesting point

I was interested in the fact that it can become a global culture if integration effect occurs in the economic sector, focusing on global franchise companies.
Examples include Disney, Coca Cola, Marlboro, Microsoft, and Google. As these symbolic brands spread all over the world, they could form a global culture and further lose the tradition of non-permanent culture.

Discussion

What brands do you think dominate global culture by actively entering the global market these days? I think it is Samsung. Actually, Samsung Electronics is growing as it ranked third in global brand rankings.

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?

  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. China's index is 80, and people generally agree that power inequality in organizations, the relationship between superiors and subordinates tends to be polarized, and subordinates can not resist the authority of their superiors, and subordinates are willing to be instructed and led. Actions beyond power are not advocated. This may be because of China's socialist system, the Communist Party of China in China is a one-party ruling, everyone has become accustomed to this system. Australia's index is 36. In various organizations in Australia, hierarchies are established for convenience needs and superiors are approachable.
