Kim jong min (hanyang) What is globalization?

  Globalization can be defined in many ways. Sociologists Martin Albro and Elizabeth King define globalization as "the process by which the world's peoples are integrated into a single world society," and Roland Robertson describes it as "the compression of the world and the intensification of world consciousness."

Globalization is taking place in various fields such as cultural globalization, economic globalization, and political globalization. 

Among these fields, I think economic globalization has had the greatest impact on globalization in other fields. In my opinion, merchants contributed greatly to the spread of culture. Historically, merchants acquired or exported goods and cultures from other countries to make money. The influx of cultures from other regions may occur for bad reasons, such as war. However, it was ultimately merchants and businessmen who spread these cultures to the general public. For example, the connection between Genghis Khan's European wars and the Silk Road, between economic revival and colonial wars in the Age of Discovery

The fact that Korea's K-content culture has become famous and has had a great influence on the globalization of Korean culture can be called cultural globalization, but I think it is also related to economic globalization. Korean cultural content companies must have recognized the competitiveness of Korean content in the world and done their best to export content to the world for business gain. As a result, people around the world can purchase and enjoy Korean dramas and music. It can be said that economic globalization and cultural globalization occurred simultaneously. This is because the movement of services, goods, and technology and the phenomenon of being able to enjoy Korean cultural content anywhere occurred at the same time.

I would like to point out that this article contains a summary of the references, but also contains more of my views on globalization. Thank you.

    I wrote something similar to mine, but I was impressed by the part that gave examples from a Korean perspective. Also, I felt like the interpretation of globalization was similar to mine, so I sympathized a lot. Thank you for the good writing.

What is the relation between politics and globalization? QU HONGYU

  The Political Impact of Globalization With the accelerated development of globalization, international relations have become more and more close, and the political system has more and more significant influence on international relations. The political system is the organization and functioning mechanism within a country, while international relations are the interaction and interaction between countries. First, the impact of the political system on international relations can be seen in two ways. On the one hand, the stability and effectiveness of the political system play an important role in the stability and harmony of international relations. A country with a stable political system, reasonable distribution of power, impartiality and transparency can better maintain domestic stability and social order, thus providing a reliable partner for the international community. For example, countries under democratic systems tend to pay more attention to human rights and the rule of l...

Reading 1: What is globalization?

  Summary The concept of globalization has existed for centuries, but only recently has it become a significant area of academic study. As a result, there is no universally accepted definition that fully captures its complexity. At its core, globalization refers to the process of the world becoming "a single place," a phenomenon that has influenced fields like sociology, political science, and anthropology. Historically, different systems could have led to this unification, but our current global system was primarily shaped by the expansion of capitalism. Interesting Point Exploring the historical evolution of globalization was fascinating, particularly the ways in which our "single place" emerged and how alternative systems might have shaped a different world. It was also surprising to realize that complete globalization may never be achieved, despite the ever-growing interconnectedness of our world. Discussion Points With the rise of anti-capitalist movements, how...

What is the relation between economy and globalization? QU HONGYU

 Impact of globalization on the world economy With the continuous development of globalization, the world economy is undergoing tremendous changes. The impact and changes brought about by globalization are multifaceted and involve various fields such as economy, trade, investment, science and technology, culture and so on. 1.Globalization promotes the development of international trade Globalization has made international trade an important part of the world economy. By lowering tariffs, removing trade barriers and promoting trade liberalization, globalization has contributed to the growth of international trade. Increased trade flows between countries and significant increases in the mobility of goods and services have contributed to the optimal allocation and efficiency of global resources. At the same time, globalization has also promoted the formation of global supply chains, and various countries have formed close cooperative relationships in production, processing, and distri...
