R2) What is the relation between culture and globalization? / Yerim Han

1) Summary 

Globalization is an interdependent network that characterizes the material, social, economic, and cultural life of modern society. Understanding this allows us to think of a number of complex processes in between. The author says this understanding is very close to the capitalist system because we distort understanding at a cultural level without making simple imperialist judgments. It is assumed that globalization will lead to a single world culture because it can have the same effect on connecting other things, such as the economy. However, what we see from a more detailed perspective in historical and cultural contexts that we can understand is not easily distinguished.

Progressive opinions on global culture try to reconcile cultural differences and added values with society, not for global domination. Despite the tendency of cultures and countries to claim "universality" as their own, they regard universality as a composition and want to make it work in an international order. We must present far more agile and flexible cultural concepts than ever before, and face a future world we call a different ethnically biased nation.

2) Interesting Point/Learning Point

I was the one who saw world culture as a threat to my cultural identity. After reading this article, I realized that I confused the Western imagination of globalization with the universality of human experience.


3) Discussion

What is the relation between culture and globalization? I think that culture and globalization have a very strong relationship to this question. Culture is their lifestyle, behavior, and lifestyle that is formed and shared within a group (such as a nation and society). Through globalization, these cultures are understood and exchanged among different groups. Today, it is easy to see that exchanges have become more active through the development of the Internet and cultural boundaries have disappeared. What are some examples of active cultural exchanges around us?

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.

Managers rely on the expertise and skills of employees and information and advice are often exchanged between superiors and subordinates. Communicati...

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...
