What is Globalization--GUO YING

 Globalization is not exactly the right and authoritative definition and concept. Different scholars, from various perspectives and disciplines, have proposed multiple definitions and understandings of globalization. Among its most important characteristics is the ever-increasing global connectivity. As such, globalization manifests itself as economic globalization, cultural globalization, political globalization, and social globalization.

1.Economic globalization:Since the early 1990s, wealthy countries have promoted policies of open markets, free trade, deregulation, and privatization, with multinational corporations becoming symbols of globalization. Goods flow freely between countries, creating tight economic links that influence one another. However, with the rise of early globalization movements, protests against economic inequality have also emerged. 

2.Cultural globalization can manifest as different brands promoting relatively homogenized consumption patterns globally. For example, the hamburger culture that initially arose in the United States has gradually sparked a fast-food craze worldwide, with KFC and McDonald's rapidly expanding their stores globally. It is also important to note that cultural globalization has led to multicultural social issues, such as widespread immigration and the diversification of ways individuals express their identities. This reflects the complex relationship between homogeneity and difference, presenting greater challenges for individuals and international systems.

3.Social globalization:Throughout the globalization process, issues related to humanity have garnered widespread attention. In addition to the protection of basic human rights, there has been increased focus on the rights of more vulnerable groups based on various categories of rights. At the same time, the relationship between globalization and localization has been reexamined, emphasizing that the interaction between the global and local is interdependent rather than oppositional. This phenomenon of integration is seen as a new form of cultural diffusion.

Personal summary ：Although there is no specific concept or definition of globalization, our blind critical analysis of globalization is incorrect. It is important to develop your own unique mental understanding within the complex framework of globalization and to recognize that peoples and nations, economies, politics, individuals and humanity are closely linked and socialized in the process of globalization. As university students, we deeply understand the globalization process and analyze the social relationships and complex structures that are very beneficial to our learning life.

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.

What is the relation between economy and globalization? SHENZIHE

 The economy and globalization are closely intertwined, mutually promoting and influencing each other. Globalization promotes economic development • Market expansion: Globalization has broken down trade barriers among countries, enabling enterprises to enter the global market. For example, many multinational corporations can sell their products all over the world, greatly expanding the market scope. The Coca - Cola Company, for instance, whose products are sold in more than 200 countries and regions, benefits from the market opening brought about by globalization. • Optimal allocation of resources: Each country can obtain resources on a global scale. Resource - rich countries can export resources, while countries with developed manufacturing industries can import resources for production. For example, the oil in the Middle East is exported all over the world, providing power support for the industrial production of oil - importing countries. • Technology and knowledge dissemination...
