Blog Assignment 2 : What is the relation between culture and globalization? _ Cho Yena

 

 1) Summary

"Cultural Globalization" is a paper that focuses on the relationship between globalization and culture, emphasizing the phenomenon of culture flowing and interacting across national borders. This is primarily linked to the global spread of culture through the media, challenging traditional identities while advocating for the respect of diversity. Globalization encompasses both positive and negative aspects, and the flow of culture is understood as a complex and diverse interaction rather than a simple process of homogenization.


 2) interesting point

"Cultural Globalization" touches upon intriguing points such as the role of media, the conflict between regional identity and global diversity, the dual nature and complexity of globalization, the emphasis on cultural crossroads and interaction, and the dynamic nature of cultural flows in globalization. The significance of media in global information dissemination, the nuanced interaction between regional identity and global diversity, a comprehensive understanding of globalization considering both positive and negative aspects, the emphasis on cultural exchange and the development of new features, and the dynamic evolution of cultural flows in globalization are all noteworthy topics explored in the paper.


 3) the point of discussion

Cultural globalization can lead to conflicts between global diversity. It will challenge traditional regional identification while at the same time addressing conflicts over how globalization should respect and recognize diversity. How can we respect and acknowledge each other?
