3、The trend of cultural globalization

 Cultural globalization is the trend of different cultures influencing, communicating, and integrating with each other on a global scale. There are many directions:

Developments in media and communication technologies: Rapid developments in the Internet, social media, satellite television, and digital technologies allow cultural products and information to spread easily across national borders. This has led to increased cultural mobility on a global scale, with people being able to easily access cultural content from around the world.

Popular culture communication: Global popular culture, such as Hollywood movies, pop music, TV shows, and popular fashion, has become a cultural symbol on a global scale. These cultural products have broad appeal around the world and form a global cultural language.

Multiculturalism: Cultural globalization promotes greater emphasis on cultural diversity and inclusion. Multiculturalism emphasizes that exchanges and interactions between different cultures can enrich social and cultural life and encourage people to respect and appreciate other cultures.

Cultural Mixing and Fusion: Cultural globalization has resulted in the mixing and fusion of different cultural elements. For example, hybrid cultural innovations are emerging in areas such as food, music, art, and fashion, creating new forms of cultural expression.

International education: The increase in international study abroad and transnational education programs exposes students to educational experiences in different countries and cultures. This helps develop a global mindset and perspective.

Cultural consumption and tourism: Cultural consumption and international tourism have become important aspects of cultural globalization. People are willing to buy products, visit museums, attend cultural festivals, and travel to other countries to experience different cultures.

Language and intercultural communication: Globalization has promoted the learning of different languages and intercultural communication. English is widely used as one of the main languages for international business and cultural exchange, but other languages are promoted globally.

It should be noted that although cultural globalization has brought many positive trends, it has also caused some problems, such as cultural homogenization, cultural hegemony, and cultural conflict. Therefore, cultural globalization is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that requires in-depth research and discussion on a global scale.

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. This question is likely to be incorporated into our class discussions. 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...

What Is Globalization? - HUANG YIXIAO

1) summarize  To characterize globalization are the following. 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. This means that, like the operations of the UN, globalization is focused upon four points of reference: nation-states; world politics;  individuals; and humankind. Third, globalization is constituted by four major facets of human life -  namely, the cultural, the social, the political, and the economic. These dimensions are in reality heavily  intertwined, one or two aspects being more prominent at any given time or place. For example, in the modern world, the cultural and the economic are closely interpenetrative. For the...
