Blogging through Media Trends and Globalization (2023)

  Summary Globalization is a largely contested concept with no agreed-upon definition. The article analyzes the historical evolution of the concept of globalization, including how it gradually entered academic and political discourse, and lists some famous scholars' thoughts on the concept of globalization. The article points out that the study of globalization is characterized by a vast convergence of disciplinary orientations, and that the resulting debate has been and still is taking place in a place of major disciplinary mutation, so that it may well be called interdisciplinary development. The article mentioned that understanding globalization can be simply understood from the anti-globalization movement. pointed out that as protests against capitalist globalization grew rapidly, people also realized that this movement itself was part of the globalization process. Thus, at the beginning of the 21st century, a distinction emerged between the concepts of globalization from above...

Summary   In the article, the author mentions that "globalization" is an inherently controversial concept. It has both universality and specificity. It is universal because it almost inevitably covers many disciplinary perspectives and worldviews from different parts of the world. It is specific because we are concerned with the division of the different features of so-called globalization.  The article points out that globalization mainly includes two trends:   First, globalization consists primarily of two major directional tendencies, increasing global connectivity and increasing global consciousness.  Consciousness does not imply consensus, merely a shared sense of the world as a whole.  Second, globalization has a particular form, one which has been, to all intents and purposes, consummated by the founding of the United Nations organization.   Third, globalization is constituted by four major facets of human life – namely, the cultural, the s...

  Summarize This article includes the concept of 'globalization', methods of analysis, and various arguments. This word with the word world covers a huge range. This is because it contains not one country but the world's culture and political orientation. 'Globalization' has different atmospheres of interpretation from country to country, era, and scholars. But globalization is a bridge from the past to the present. This allows analysis to proceed, define concepts, repeat modifications, and move forward. Therefore, 'globalization' includes society, culture, politics, and economy, and the analysis of globalization will continue in the future. Observations What was most interesting about reading this article is Hopkins 'globalization' within 'globalization'. He said that the positive impact of 'globalization' is that it can be interested in the way of 'globalizatio'n that connects history and the present. I could sense this as a...

Inglehart–Welzel cultural map of the world: I think the most interesting thing about it is that it uses different dimensions of culture. For example, the Y-axis measures traditional values versus secular -- rational values, The X-axis is used to measure survival values and self expression values, so several Asian countries that are heavily influenced by Confucian culture have a higher position on the Y-axis, while the X-axis is more inclined to survival values. Religious belief and language all belong to the category of culture. I find it very interesting to classify countries by culture. -Why my answer is better than AI? Because I've been to a lot of countries, and I've really experienced different cultures in different countries. Therefore, when I see this map, I will be surprised to find that it seems really like this. I will compare the situations I have encountered with the classification on the map and find reasonable or different designs from my own views.

Cultural globalization is an organic component of globalization, which, together with economic globalization, political globalization, technological globalization, and human identity globalization, constitutes a wave of globalization. They interact and influence each other and jointly push the wave of globalization forward. Globalization is bound to be accompanied by cultural globalization, which in turn promotes the process of globalization. Culture is fluid in space, not only inherited in time but also created. Obviously, globalization has created a brand-new cultural context, which brings about a break of the times. In the context of globalization, the traditional way of thinking, that is, the dispute between ancient and modern China and the West and the dispute between body and use, has lost its effectiveness in responding to and explaining the cultural problems in contemporary China. Contemporary cultural development is undergoing a paradigm shift. From the above, it can be seen t...

1) Summary   This article explains what globalization is. First of all, to explain globalization, it can be general that culture, perspectives, and ideologies that appear in certain countries are the same or similar in other countries.  At the same time, globalization also has the characteristic of being specific because it includes many different topics. It is difficult to define globalization it self as just one thing, and given the similarities between definitions, this is an unnecessary debate. Nevertheless, this article tries to provide consistent statement because of the controversy that exists. Interest in globalization began centuries ago. But the global use of the term began after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and the fall of communism. However, this did not only provoke a positive response from globalization. The anti-globalization movement was active in the late 1990s. It began to criticize capitalistic globalization, with the argument that it would lead...

 What is Globalization? [Summary] Through this article, we can discuss various aspects of 'globalization' and we can attempt to characterize them. First of all, there have been various views of many scholars trying to define 'globalization'. Velho was the first mentioned in this article, who described globalization as an object, a perspective and a horizon. In fact, humans have long been interested in globalization, but it was only in the late 1980s or early 1990s that they formed practical academic discourse. Therefore, not only do there exist various views on this, but the negative elements of globalization have also attracted attention when problems between countries emerge. Globalization, a pan-global concept rather than internationalization, develops in two main directions: an increase in global connectivity and an increase in global consciousness. Many existing studies tend to pay attention to one of these, and it is better to think about both connectivity and con...

  Summary:  This article analyzes the comprehensiveness of globalization, emphasizes its different aspects and some main characteristics, and discusses the complexity and controversies of globalization. It provides in-depth analysis and understanding for readers to read. The article mentions the historical evolution of the concept of globalization, including how it gradually entered academic and political discourse, and points out how the multidimensional nature of globalization affects different disciplines in the field of social sciences.  The article points out that globalization mainly includes two trends: one is the increase in global connectivity, and the other is the enhancement of global awareness. Global connectivity involves the interconnectivity and connectivity of various parts of the world, while global consciousness emphasizes a shared understanding of the world as a whole, rather than necessarily consensus. The article also explains that globalization has a...

   Globalization is a process of interaction and integration between people, companies and governments in different countries, supported by international trade and investment and information technology.This process has implications for the environment, culture, political systems, economic development and prosperity, and human health in societies around the world.   The current wave of globalization is driven by policies to open the economy both domestically and internationally.Since the Second World War, and especially over the past two decades, many Governments have adopted free market economic regimes, greatly enhancing their productive potential and creating numerous new opportunities for international trade and investment.Governments have also negotiated substantial reductions in commercial barriers and established international agreements to promote trade in goods, services and investments.Taking advantage of new opportunities in foreign markets, enterprises hav...

  Globalization refers to the rapid development and continuous intensification of complex interrelationships among different societies, cultures, institutions and individuals on a global scale, thus forming an interconnected and interdependent complete unity. Because of the compression of time and space, the world becomes smaller and, in a sense, brings people closer together; people experience a sense of global spatial closeness. This process, in turn, extends social relations and shifts the ties of our daily lives from a regional context to a global one. Globalization has become a decisive factor in many areas of cultural, political and economic life, and the rapid expansion of economic and cultural networks operating on a global scale has begun. It is changing the mechanisms of our daily lives. One of the significant changes brought about by globalization to human civilization is the cultural exchange and interaction among nations and countries, which have various ways of commun...

Summary According to the authors, globalization is a complex and multifaceted process in which various aspects of human life are interconnected, including cultural, social, political, and economic dimensions. Globalization is not a single thing or entity, but a conceptual framework that helps us understand the changing relationships between individuals, nations, and the world as a whole. The authors argue that globalization is characterized by its competitive nature and that it is important to approach it from an interdisciplinary perspective in order to fully understand its various dimensions. In particular, they discuss the relationship between economic and cultural factors, citing multinational corporations. In other words, the main dimensions of globalization are cultural, social, political, and economic, with a particular emphasis on the inclusion of communication in the social dimension. Interesting Point What's interesting is that the McDonald's story illustrates the com...

Summary Globalization is defined as four main aspects: economic, political, social, and cultural. The author suggests that many sociologists overlook the social dimension within it. In fact, the dissemination and diffusion of social interaction and communication methods around the world is crucial in the process of globalization. In addition, the author emphasizes that attention to the environment is a part of contemporary human culture. Immanuel Wallerstein raised the issue of the form of globalization, where the world may become a single "system" that is now more or less actual in different ways. However, apart from the issue of imperialism, the formal problems of globalization can be directly solved.   An important and decisive feature of globalization is increasing connectivity (interconnectivity). This article argues that the increasing global awareness operates in a complex way, which can be said to go hand in hand with the increasing connectivity.   In additio...

  （1）Summary As the author says, globalization is both general and specific. It is not a point or a plane, but a multi-dimensional one. So the scope of globalization is very broad. In addition, countries in the world have different cultural backgrounds and religions, so there is no universally accepted definition of globalization. Just as Confucian culture promotes the concept of "great harmony under heaven", it is too idealized. The implementation process will be hampered by reality. In Velliu's paradigm, globalization can be understood as the direction in which the world as a whole is moving. Globalization doesn't refer to anything. Many articles and books on globalization define it as having three main dimensions: economic, political and cultural. As mentioned above, globalization is three-dimensional, and the three main dimensions cannot be carried out singly. The McDonaldization of economics is still happening in many brands today. This generalized mode of adapta...

 Summary This article discusses the concept and characteristics of globalization and the debates surrounding it. It emphasizes that globalization is a general question intertwined with various academic perspectives and worldviews. The document aims to distinguish the features of globalization and does not delve into specific topics within the globalization paradigm. Globalization is characterized by a conflict between those who view it primarily from an economic perspective as an endpoint and those with a broader outlook. Furthermore, the document underscores the importance of recognizing two different uses of globalization. The document addresses the movement to acknowledge inequality in the economic aspects of globalization and the efforts to promote global awareness. It also mentions the increasing support for open markets, free trade, deregulation, and privatization, along with the growing significance of nations advocating for these policies. Additionally, the article points o...

 Summarize      Globalization is a multifaceted phenomenon, shaped by various historical and contemporary events. It intertwines increasing global connectivity with a rising global consciousness. While its economic and political aspects are often emphasized, cultural nuances are equally pivotal. An understanding of its four intertwined dimensions - economic, cultural, social, and political - offers a comprehensive view.      Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" sheds light on the intricate nature of global conflicts, pointing to differences in civilizations and worldviews. Meanwhile, Wallerstein's perspective on world systems underscores the form globalization has taken, highlighting the roles of nation-states, global politics, individuals, and humanity at large.      The notion of "glocalization" captures the symbiotic relationship between global and local influences. While glocalization posits that globalization will be inheren...

  Media Trend and Globalization Q&A 1.  Which country is more culturally globalized: Korea, China or Japan? What country is most globalized in the world? I think Japan is more culturally globalized because it has been accepting foreign cultures for hundreds of years and constantly improving them. At the same time, Japan is also continuously exporting Japanese anime, movies, and other cultures. I think japan has the most impact on global culture.  In terms of the proportion of cultural exports, Japan ranks third in the world. Since the Second World War , Japan has been developing rapidly and has been conveying its culture to the world through international trade and globalization. 2.  how could we measure cultural globalization？ I think globalization can be measured in terms of global cultural exchange and dissemination, as well as the scope of dissemination. For example, the views of international movies,  dramas, or online content abroad can be used as an i...
