Blogging through Sociology of Globalization (2020)

 I think the biggest factor that causes globalization to decline is racism or discrimination by country. In my opinion, globalizing the right thing is for all countries to achieve free communication and cultural exchanges without boundaries under equal treatment. But a discriminatory attitude destroys all of this. People with this discriminatory attitude seem to want a form of globalization in which poor countries belong to rich countries rather than equal globalization. This does not seem to be the right idea of democratic modern people.

 Yes. The gap between rich and poor is very serious in Korean society. I think it is the nation's welfare policy that has not reduced the gap between the rich and the poor, but rather accelerated it. The polarization between the rich and the poor has become more serious in the Pandemic situation of Corona 19. Since Korea has more common people and poor people than the rich, if they collapse, the nation's economy itself will collapse. Therefore, the state should support them not to collapse.

 No, I don't think the people of which country should be the deciding factor. This is no different from racism. It is an act that should not be discriminated against by any country's people just because of their different colors. However, we have consistently ranked and discriminated against race and country. This behavior is a hindrance to correct globalization.

 People hate uncertainty very much. Therefore, many people agree with their opinion because they think what they say is highly likely to be landlocked.This is called crowd psychology. Crowd psychology is a phenomenon in which there is no information and only many people choose. Crowd psychology is formed based on the belief that "following the majority is good for me." People don't express their opinions much, even if they differ from the majority's thoughts and opinions, and later show that their opinions change to mine.

 As the aging population reduces the number of economically active people not only in Korea but also around the world, the number of senior citizens who have to support each young person will increase, which will result in very high taxes and economic difficulties.  In addition, various welfare systems will be focused on the elderly, and the healthcare sector will likely be very successful.

 First of all, the most necessary thing for education in a capitalist society is money. The upper classes of society have a lot of capital, so it is possible without difficulty to receive long hours of education from quality education and higher education, but those of the lower classes, who are relatively undercapitalized, cannot receive private education only from public education. In addition, the relationship between social classes and education becomes stronger because the education guaranteed by public education does not reach higher education.

 The reason why older Koreans are more vulnerable to poverty is first excluded from economic activities. The average life expectancy is getting longer, and the age at which Korea can participate in economic activities remains. Of course, the retirement period is gradually being delayed, but as there is a saying that it is a 100-year-old life, it is still fast.

 I think 3D printing will change the world.  Of course, it won't just change to the good side as it has both merits and demerits. First of all, the big issue in commercializing after successful 3D printing is "gun." If you have a drawing, it will print out all the functions, just like copying and pasting the object. Therefore, the gun can be manufactured at any time with only a drawing. It is fatal in South Korea, where firearms are banned. On the contrary, we can use this to help disabled people live by making their prosthetic legs cheaper. Before 3D printing becomes more commercialized, it is necessary to set up a manual for it.

 Overall, the birth rate decreases, but due to the development of medicine, the mortality rate decreases. As a result, the aging society is getting worse, and as the average life span increases, the number of people living in poverty without income has increased due to the longer life after retirement. Although the retirement period is gradually being delayed, the period of living without income is still long. As the birth rate decreases, the number of adults a person has to support is increasing. This means that the amount of tax a person has to pay increases.

 The most successful element of the Korean Wave is K - Pop. Starting with the first-generation idol's entry into Asia, including Japan, the second-generation idols entered a wider range of worlds, and the U.S. entry, which Wonder Girls and Psy tapped, was successful due to BTS. As choreography and stage sharing through SNS became more active, it became easier for idols to enter overseas markets, and globalization of K-pop became more active as it became easier for fans from each country to communicate.

 I want to talk about the job market. There are so many power inconveniences in the job market. It is easy to see corruption in personnel solicitation in the news, and the word "falling mountain" is also used to mean a person who joined the company just because he or she is close to a person who is not competent but has power. We cannot be on the same starting line in the job market like this.

 I don't think this can simply end up as a dichotomy between good and bad. Clearly, globalization has both advantages and disadvantages. Globalization has shared each other's cultures, brought democracy to many countries, and provided an opportunity for many countries to develop through the exchange of labor forces. On the other hand, however, cultural exchanges have become more Westernized in our lives, and power has become a superpower in America, and workers who provide cheap labor work without respect for human rights. Before we judge that globalization is good or bad, we must first think about how to proceed with it.

1. Summary This article describes the globalization of the economy around TNC. TNCs developed after the advent of trading companies in World War I. As an entity with authority, the TNC coordinates operations in one or more countries. Most of TNC investments are market-oriented and capital-oriented. This is why the company's ability to secure profitability in its own market saturation or international markets is market-oriented. In addition, capital-oriented investments are not limited to cheap labor in developing countries, but are more available to workers with higher education and skilled technology and motivation. In the global economy, TNC has a tremendous influence. We should try not to blindly follow them. 2. Interesting point I knew about the globalization of the economy, but I heard about TNC for the first time. It was also interesting that the TNC, the center of globalization of the economy, started in World War I, which was much earlier than I thought. 3. discussion TNC e...

 1. Summary Political globalization emphasizes the process of defection and transnationality.  Political globalization includes changes in nationality, citizenship, public domain and political communication, civil society, and borders. Civil society is connected to regional, global, and transnational relationships and builds political forms around common factors such as competition, sustainability, human rights and social justice. It is important that the growth of the global civil society is the result of increased political exchange opportunities at home and abroad. 2. Interesting/Learning Point I had never thought about the negative aspects of political globalization before reading this article, but it was interesting to see the negative aspects of global civil society when obtained in a way that lacked responsibility and democratic qualifications. 3. discussion Mary Robinson, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, said, "There are still two superpowers on Earth. Amer...

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 int...

  ( Blue - Australia , purple - Germany , Green - New Zealand ) Power Distance is the highest in Korea and lowest in New Zealand. In other words, Koreans expect and accept the unequal distribution of power by members of institutions and organizations that are less powerful than the other two countries. The following is an individualism, the question of whether people define their self image as "I" or "We" concepts. In the graph above, all three countries have a stronger concept of I than we do, but Australia has the most individualistic concept among them. The third is MASCULINITY. All three countries had similar numbers, but Germany had the highest score. With a score of 66 Germany is considered a Masculine society. Performance is highly valued and early required as the school system separates children into different types of schools at the age of ten. People rather "live in order often shown, especially by cars, watches and technical devices. Germany is amon...

 I analyzed the words of Australia, New Zealand, and Germany. The first question is whether you are worried about not giving your child a good education. Australians account for the largest percentage of people who are very worried about not giving their children a good education. On the contrary, New Zealanders make up the largest portion of those who say not at all. The second question is whether you are worried about unemployment or not finding a job. This question is also the most frequently answered by Australians as Very Much. On the contrary, Germany accounts for the largest percentage of people who are not worried at all. The third is the answer to the question of whether the country is worried about being involved in the war. Most people said they were not worried, but Australians were the most worried. New Zealand is the country where people in Australia and Germany answered the most, and the largest percentage of those who said no. The fourth is the city war. This questi...

1) Summary The definition of globalization varies from scholar to scholar because it is defined through social context.  The most representative concept to describe globalization is 'increasing connectivity'. Connectivity was considered an important feature of globalization by political scientists, international relations experts and economists, but anthropologists, sociologists and cultural historians studied consciousness more. You should focus on connectivity rather than consciousness.  One of the particular forms of globalization was completed by the founding of the UN organization. The globalization of the United Nations means global politics among nations. Globalization is being carried out mainly on political, economic and cultural levels. Recently, the economic and cultural aspects are combined and the most representative example is McDonaldization. This is part of the social phenomenon, which says that people's habitual behavior leads to economic globalization. The...
