blog assignment 1 - What is globalization? : Hyojun Kim(김효준)

 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 an irony.

This is because the next article describes the interrelationship between 'local identity' and the state as paradoxical.

It can be seen from this article that it has been compressed more than the simple concept of 'globalization'.


Discussion point

1. What do you think is the positive impact you have had on your country through 'globalization'? 

Through 'globalization', the cultures of many countries entered my country, Korea, and I think I was able to experience various things through this. For example, McDonald's and Starbucks, which are much talked about earlier.

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

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 these reasons, a numbe

Online blog writing assignment 1/ What is globalization? /MENGRU LI

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 addition, the au
