Blog Assignment 1 (ZHANG YUEXI) ：What is globalization？

Globalization means that on a global scale, the links between countries are constantly strengthened, and human life is developing on a global scale. The political, economic, cultural and social fields of all countries in the world are interdependent and gradually moving towards deep integration. The rise of global consciousness has gradually become a mainstream ideology. The destinies of all countries in the world are closely linked. However, globalization involves not only the relations between countries, but also the global interaction of various non-state entities, such as multinational corporations, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and individuals.

Globalization involves many fields, including politics, economy, culture, society and technology. Let me explain my understanding of globalization in these aspects separately. 1.Political globalization: Political globalization involves the development of various countries and international organizations in global governance. The cooperation and dispute settlement among countries on a global scale and the coordination of global issues all reflect the trend of political globalization. 2.Economic globalization: Economic globalization is the core of globalization. It is manifested in international trade, transnational investment, globalization of production chain and interconnection of international financial markets. With the rapid development of the times and economy, the interdependence of the global economic system is becoming stronger and stronger, and the global economy will affect the whole body, so the economic activities between countries will be more closely linked. 3.Social globalization: social globalization is manifested in the solution of various social problems and the interaction of social movements on a global scale. Global issues, such as climate change, the gap between the rich and the poor, and human rights, require the joint efforts of the global community. 4.Cultural globalization: Cultural globalization involves the global dissemination and exchange of cultural products, values and languages. Globalization makes it easier for different cultures to understand each other and realize cultural exchange and integration, but it may also lead to cultural homogenization or cultural conflict. 5.Globalization of technology: The rapid development of technology promotes the global dissemination of information, which makes it easier for people to obtain and share information quickly. The rapid popularization of Internet, social media and other technical tools has also accelerated the development of globalization.

Globalization is a multi-level and multi-faceted phenomenon, which affects social life at all levels. It has not only brought many opportunities, but also triggered a series of challenges, which requires the joint efforts of all parties in the world to promote sustainable and fair globalization.

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...

Online blog writing assignment 1 / What is globalization? / ZHANG RUIQING

Summary   In the article, the author mentions that "globalization" is an inherently controversial concept. It has both universality and specificity. It is universal because it almost inevitably covers many disciplinary perspectives and worldviews from different parts of the world. It is specific because we are concerned with the division of the different features of so-called globalization.  The article points out that globalization mainly includes two trends:   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.   Third, globalization is constituted by four major facets of human life – namely, the cultural, the s...
