What is Globalization-Song Hyeonmin

 Globalization is a phenomenon in which human civilization converges into a single system as interdependence between countries increases, and it refers to a phenomenon in which national boundaries are broken down and global society is integrated regardless of political, economic, technological, social and cultural sectors. Globalization is a process of economic interaction and integration mainly related to social and cultural aspects. Globalization aims for a direction that increases connectivity and global consciousness between the world.

 Roland Robertson described globalization as the compression of the world and the reinforcement of global consciousness. This can be briefly explained by the term global village proposed by Marshall McLuhan. Global village means that people around the world live in a village called Earth, and it is a word that clearly shows that the boundaries have been broken as there are no restrictions on the movement of people, information, and objects between countries. With the removal of cross-border barriers, the importance of the country has decreased and the global market has increased. As time passes in the modern era, the pace of globalization is gradually accelerating in the direction of rapid development.

 As the pace of globalization accelerates, its advantages and disadvantages have begun to become clear. With the increasing diversity in many countries, there are more opportunities to learn and celebrate different cultures. Rich countries can now help poor countries in times of crisis. These interactions have awakened the sense that humans can depend on each other. Martin Albrow and Elizabeth King describe globalization as "the entire process by which people of the world are integrated into one world society." However, this process may make the difference between the powerful and the developing world more severe. As a result, the world moves in accordance with the order of the powerful and becomes uniform. It can be said that the actions of imagining cosmopolitanism, ironically, encouraged an imperialistic form.

 Marshall McLuhan used to say, "Media is a message," but now, "Media is money" seems to fit the reality. Globalization is an unstoppable phenomenon, so it would be better to exchange opinions on possible problems and overcome them together.

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...
