What is globalization?- HUANG QIHAO

 Internationalization not only brings more opportunities but also challenges our traditional ways of thinking and working methods.

Economic internationalization: The interdependence of global markets has tightly connected the economies of different countries. As the world’s second-largest economy, China has deeply integrated into the global economic system. For China’s younger generation, economic internationalization means that we are no longer confined to the local market but need to develop a broader perspective and more flexible adaptability. As you mentioned, while international trade allows us to acquire goods and technology from different countries, global economic instability (such as trade wars and currency fluctuations) can also impact the domestic market. This requires us to pay closer attention to global trends and manage risks effectively. On the other hand, as a key player in global manufacturing and consumer markets, China also provides young people with opportunities to engage in internationalized work environments and gain further development prospects.

Educational internationalization: In the field of education, internationalization allows us to be exposed to different cultural educational concepts and teaching methods. Today, studying abroad and cross-cultural exchange are no longer choices for a select few but are increasingly pursued by many students. By interacting with students from different countries, we not only enhance our language skills but also gain a better understanding of diverse cultures and thinking styles. This kind of cross-cultural exchange plays an indispensable role in developing our global vision, innovative thinking, and social responsibility. Internationalized education is not only about transmitting knowledge but also about shaping our worldview.

Future challenges and opportunities: Internationalization brings not only opportunities but also numerous challenges. For example, facing the competitive pressure of globalization, we need to continuously improve our professional skills and cross-cultural communication abilities to meet the demands of the future workforce. Especially with the rapid development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and digitalization, the international context requires us to possess more diverse abilities, not only mastering our field-specific knowledge but also gaining interdisciplinary understanding and innovation capabilities.

In conclusion, internationalization is a multidimensional process that is transforming our learning, work, and lifestyle. As young people, embracing internationalization means not only acquiring global knowledge but also understanding and adapting to different cultures, developing a global perspective, and finding our place in a complex and ever-changing world. I believe internationalization provides us with a broader stage, but it also requires us to possess the necessary skills and wisdom to tackle the challenges within it.

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...
