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 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...
