[23/09/08] Media Trend and Globalization Q&A


Q1) Cultural globaliztion that do not originate from western/asian cultures?

A1) In my opinion, there is some African wave in Music field these days which is not originated from western or asian culture. I can take the example of artist ‘Rema’, he is from Nigeria, and actually his music cannot be sorted out just only one kind. It’s pretty complexed and mixed with afro beat and arab/Indie vibe.

Of course AI provide some contents about African culture as well, but they do not know how the wave starts from, specific artist. In conclusion, AI cannot reflect the current affair or latest information well.

 

Q2) How global is global culture? Is global culture unduly dominated by western or American culture? Is Asian influence on the global culture growing or receding?

A2) I think it used to, but these days every culture has influenced each other and improving. Of course western or american culture still has big impact like movies or fashion style, but asian culture has been grown mixed form of western culture. Like k-beauty, the standard of beauty is pretty different but korean style make up has been viraled on tiktok, not only for asian also western.

Of course AI provide some contents about this as well, but they do not know how the wave exactly starts from. In conclusion, AI cannot reflect the current affair or latest information well.

Introduction to our blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from the Fall 2023 class in Media Trends and Globalization at the Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. For each section of the course, you are expected to post a blog post on relevant readings on our blog here and make a comment on another student's post. An ideal commentary should be about 800 words, divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more.

You are allowed to quote an interesting passage from the text(s) you've read, but the quotes will not count toward any length requirements. Blog’s deadline is always: Sunday, midnight, of the week the question is poste...

(W3-1)Media Trends and Globalization Classroom QnA - Choi Min Joon

 Q1. How could a fusion culture look in 100 years? A1.  Globalization is accelerating further with advances in technology. The boundaries between countries will be blurred, and the development of technology will reduce language barriers between countries, leading to more cultural exchanges. In 100 years, I think the convergence culture will become a new type of culture, not a global culture led by major countries around the world. Simultaneous new cultures will emerge in many forms, and those cultures will mix with each other and create new cultures. The difference between this convergence culture and global culture is that there is no major country leading the culture, but the earth evolves into a true global culture in which culture is born and exchanged immediately like a country. Q2.  Can cultures be compared? Can we argue that some cultures are better than others? A2.  I think it is possible to compare between cultures. There are certainly commonalities and...

  Summary of the Reading/Topic China’s relationship with globalization is one of the most significant stories of the modern era. Over the past few decades, China has transformed itself from a relatively closed economy to a global powerhouse. By integrating into the world economy, China has benefited immensely, achieving rapid economic growth, technological advancement, and elevated geopolitical influence.

Additionally, China's rise has reshaped the global order, prompting debates about its influence on global governance and economic norms. What is the Relation Between China and Globalization? Ch...
