Hofstede's Variable---ZHANG LINYUE

  The data shows that China and South Korea are close to the level of individualism culture. However, the Chinese data is higher than the Korean data. As an example of classroom habits on campuses in both countries, in Korean classrooms, group activities and group presentations are often conducted. While in Chinese classrooms, individual projects are preferred.

  The degree of uncertainty avoidance is much higher in Korea than in China. Still taking the classrooms in both countries as an example, Korean classrooms prefer to inform students of all the activities of the semester in the first class, and even class quizzes for a particular class need to be informed to students in the first class. In China, The content and length of the lectures are based on the professor's teaching schedule in the classroom. There is no fixed time limit.Students are not informed of the exact schedule and activities in the first class.

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...

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.

  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.

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...
