Blog Reading Assignment 2 "What is the Relation Between Culture and Globalization?" - Choi Min Joon


content of this article 

In "Culture and Globalization," John Tomlinson explains the relationship between culture and globalization. He argues that culture and globalization are closely linked, and that culture is one of the important aspects of globalization. Tomlinson argues that globalization should be viewed from a cultural perspective, not just as an economic phenomenon. He argues that culture acts as an independent part of the globalization process, and that culture also acts as a result of globalization. Global hit cultural content (e.g., movies, music) spreads around the world, emphasizing that such cultural content forms a global cultural industry and promotes interaction among different cultures. Tomlinson also emphasizes the simultaneous existence of cultural diversity and globalization. As globalization progresses, the boundaries between countries become blurred, which soon leads to cultural diversity. He argues that global diversity of cultures contributes to enriching new perspectives and ideas, and enables a richer understanding of human society through interactions between diverse cultures.

Summary
To sum up, culture and globalization form a complex and intertwined relationship in a global society, and the two factors play an important role in interacting with each other. These interactions have an important influence on determining the appearance of the modern world, and are one of the key themes for our understanding and response.

conclusion
I also think that culture and globalization are deeply related. This is because, when globalization progresses, it is natural that each country's cultures are exchanged and mixed with each other, or that new cultures will be created again. As globalization accelerates, I think this John Tomlinson's view will be of great help in predicting the future.

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...

China and globalization BAILINHAN

  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. Key milestones include its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 and its rise as the world’s largest exporter. However, this relationship is complex. While globalization has opened up new opportunities for China, it has also introduced challenges. Issues such as trade tensions, reliance on global markets, and environmental concerns highlight the downsides of globalization. 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...
