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.

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...

Experiences of Teaching in English at a South Korean University SHENZIHE

Teaching in English at a South Korean university has been a unique journey filled with challenges and rewards. When I first arrived at the South Korean university, the student population had distinct characteristics. Their proficiency in English varied widely. Some students could communicate and understand complex academic content relatively fluently, while others only had basic English listening and speaking skills. This required me to fully consider the diversity of students in course design and adopt a stratified teaching method. For example, when explaining professional knowledge, for students with a weak foundation, I would use more pictures, examples, and simple and straightforward language to aid understanding; for students with a higher level of English, I would guide them to conduct in-depth academic discussions and case analyses. In terms of the classroom atmosphere, South Korean students are usually rather reserved and respectful of teachers. In the classroom discussion sess...

What is globalization? LIN AIJIA

What is globalization? What is [Globalization]?  The term "globalization" was first used by Anthony Giddens in the mid-1980s. Since then, this academic term has spread from scholarly discussions to everyday conversations among the general public. Globalization is considered both a development and an inevitable outcome of modernity.   Giddens' discussions on modernity and globalization encompass both the micro-level of individual life and identity and the macro-level structures of institutions. He defines globalization as "the intensification of worldwide social relations" , which links distant localities in such a way that events in one place can influence events in another.   Thompson defines globalization as "the growing interconnectedness of different parts of the world" , a process that results in complex forms of global interaction and interdependence. For example, the global financial crisis triggered by the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 ...

Project 2: World Value Survey country comparison QU HONGYU

 How to deal with the differences in the social background of the survey respondents in different countries? The social context of different countries (e.g., level of economic development, political system, cultural history, etc.) can lead to significant differences in respondents' responses to the same question. Therefore, researchers should interpret the results in the context of each country's specific social context. For example, "trusted government" data in some democracies may have different meanings than similar data in some authoritarian countries. It is important to ensure that the historical, cultural and institutional context peculiar to those countries is taken into account when making comparisons.

My study experience in Korea Experience in an English-Language Class at a Korea University I found it a little difficult at first, because my mother tongue is Chinese and I have not lived in an English environment, so I can only understand some simple words, which made me very distressed at the beginning. But then I got a few tips, and I started to look online for how to use Wikipedia and get help from my classmates. Despite the difficulties, i slowly completed my course. Adjusting to Life in Korea 1. Learn Basic Korean to Make Life Easier You don’t need to speak fluently right away, but learning some daily expressions can make life much more convenient. Try free Korean learning apps or check if there are government-provided Korean courses nearby. For example, phrases for “asking directions,” “shopping,” or “visiting a doctor” can give you a sense of security once you’ve mastered them.   2. Build Your Own Small Circle Make friends with other Chinese people living in Korea to add so...

China and Globalization The relationship between China and globalization is one of the most significant themes in 21st-century international politics, economics, and cultural exchange. As the world's second-largest economy and the largest developing country, China plays multiple roles in the globalization process: as a beneficiary, a driver, and a participant in shaping the rules.   Historical Background   Reform and Opening-Up & Globalization   China's adoption of the reform and opening-up policy in 1978 marked the beginning of its full integration into the globalization process. [1]  By introducing foreign investment and joining international economic organizations (such as the World Trade Organization), China gradually transformed from an agriculture-based nation into a global manufacturing hub.   Accession to the WTO   In 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) [2] , a critical milestone in the globalization process. Through market lib...
