Blog 2: What is the relation between culture and globalization?---HAN JIAYI

 The relationship between culture and globalization is complex and multi-layered. In the process of globalization, culture is both an object of dissemination and an important factor in promoting globalization. The relationship between them can be summed up in terms of "mutilation" and "conflict".


First, globalization has facilitated the spread and integration of culture. With the rapid development of transportation and communication technology, the distance between people has been greatly shortened, and contact and communication between different cultures have become more frequent. For example, cultural forms such as Hollywood movies in the U.S., K-pop in Korea, and traditional Chinese cuisine have had a global impact beyond national and regional boundaries through media such as movies, music, and literature. This exchange not only makes it easier for people to understand each other, but also allows different cultural elements to blend into each other and create new cultural forms.


At the same time, globalization has also led to cultural conflicts. Values and lifestyles between different cultures may be contradictory in communication. For example, people in some Western countries may not understand China's "collectivist" culture, while people in some Asian countries may not fully embrace Western "individualist" ideas. Such conflicts are unavoidable in the context of globalization, but they also prompt greater reflection on how to respect and embrace each other's cultures.


Nevertheless, the relationship between culture and globalization remained mutually beneficial. On the one hand, globalization has provided new tools for the preservation and inheritance of cultures, such as recording endangered languages and traditions through digital technology and spreading them around the world. On the other hand, cultural diversity has also injected new vitality into globalization and made the world more colorful.


In conclusion, there are both integrations and contradictions between culture and globalization. Globalization has promoted the dissemination and development of culture, but it has also challenged its uniqueness. Against this background, countries need to focus on preserving and inheriting their cultural identity while promoting global exchanges, so as to achieve a balanced development of globalization and cultural diversity.
