What is globalization - Jo HyeonSeong


 Blogging1: What is globalization?

 Globalization is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that describes the process by which people, businesses, and governments become increasingly interconnected and interdependent across the globe. It encompasses various dimensions, notably economic, cultural, and political.

 In cultural dimension, 

Cultural Exchange, Language, Cultural Homogenization and Cultural Hybridization can be some point. 

One of the Cultural Exchange is spread of cultural elements like food, music, fashion, and entertainment through travel, media, and the internet.

One of the Language example is The dominance of languages such as English as a global lingua franca facilitates communication and cultural exchange.

One of the  Cultural Homogenization example is Cultural Homogenization: While globalization promotes cultural exchange, it can also lead to cultural homogenization, where local cultures are overshadowed by dominant ones, often Western, leading to a loss of cultural diversity.

One of the Cultural Hybridization example is: Conversely, globalization can lead to hybrid cultures, where elements from different cultures blend to create new, unique cultural forms.

 In economic dimension,

Trade, Investment and Financial market are can be a point.

The reduction of trade barriers, such as tariffs and quotas, has facilitated the flow of goods and services between countries. Organizations like the World Trade Organization (WTO) play a significant role in promoting free trade. Increased foreign direct investment (FDI) allows companies to invest in and own operations in other countries, leading to greater economic integration. 

 Also, The globalization of financial markets enables capital to flow more freely between countries, affecting exchange rates, stock markets, and economic stability.

In political dimension, 

The many international organizations are emerged like UN. And, Policy is being same over the world like democracy, voting. 

Also, Global issue can be made by anywhere. For example, We can talking about Russian war, Putin. Also, Israel Gaza war etc. Agenda's barrier has disappeared.


For Globalization's History.

The term was first defined by sociologist Roland Robertson as "the compression of the world and intensification of the consciousness of the world as a whole". 

Its history can be divided by some events. Globalization is estimated that is started in archanic time. But, We can know literally from 16 century when U.K was the most strong Empire in the world. 

However, this globalization was stopped by World war 1 and 2. And, It was restarted after World War 2. These times, globalization is very active.

HUANG LINGXUAN （What is globalization?）

The term "globalization" first appeared in 1962, and today it has transformed from a specialized term into a common expression. <The Economist> called it “the most overused word of the 21st century.” Merriam-Webster defines globalization as the process of promoting activities and motives across global spaces, a process that has been ongoing for a long time. In fact, the roots of globalization can be traced back to humanity’s early migrations and expansions. The year 1492 marked a significant milestone in the history of globalization. The discovery of the New World brought together people who had been isolated for millennia, and various species began to exchange globally. For example, Peru’s potato and Mexico’s chili peppers spread around the world, while Ethiopian coffee found new homes in Brazil and Vietnam. During this period, different societies not only evolved in diverse ways and established unique political and economic structures but also developed different tech...

What is Globalization? -Dabin Kim

Globalization refers to the process by which countries around the world are economically, politically, socially, and culturally interconnected. As time and space constraints are reduced due to the development of technology and communication, interactions between countries become closer and the world works like a "one global village." Roland Robertson defined globalization as a "spread of global consciousness," while Anthony Giddens described globalization as a "compression of time and space," stressing that local events have an immediate impact on the world. There are economic globalization, cultural globalization, and political globalization. Economic globalization is a phenomenon in which economies are connected to each other through the free exchange of goods, services, and capital between countries. For example, the spread of multinational corporations and the increase in international trade are prime examples of economic globalization. Multinational c...

Blog1: What is globalization? - Jeongeun Park

Blog1: What is globalization? In the 21st century, as globalization progresses rapidly in various fields, such as the media industry and the IT field, I believe that there might be no one who doesn't know the word "globalization." Nevertheless, it is questionable whether they know exactly what globalization is. According to Roland Robertson and Harrison White, emphasizes different aspects of the global interconnectedness in sociology and cultural theory. While both of them recognize the sweeping influence of globalization, their perspectives separate in meaningful ways. Robertson looks at the cultural and global consciousness it fosters, whereas White focuses on how globalization impacts the social relationships and structures that bind people and institutions. Especially, the concept of “Glocalization” suggested by Robertson was interesting to me. This means that local cultures actively reshape global influences to fit their own context. I reckon that the perspective sho...
