class question.Is globalization bad or good? What do you think?-YUE JUNTONG

 

I think globalization is beneficial. Each country has different natural resources, different industrial development, and different products. Globalization allows every country to find its place, whether it is economic, cultural, or political. Globalization has allowed many small countries to show up. For these countries, being seen by the world is already an opportunity. Globalization has quietly changed some countries: Argentina has emerged in the world because of animal husbandry and football, Japan's animation culture has become world-renowned, and South Korea's K Pop culture has also become a trend. Globalization is both an opportunity and a challenge.

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...

Blog 2 - What is the relation between culture and globalization? - HUANG YIXIAO

1) Summarize  Tomlinson makes the point that globalization is a multidimensional process, taking place simultaneously within the spheres of the economy, of politics, of technological developments  particularly media and communications technologies - of environmental change and of culture.  Because of the network of world connections he examined at the time, he could not find a place for global culture in the economic, political, military, social, technological, and environmental explanations of the past. He believes that there is a multidimensional "globalization" in which the cultural dimension is an important area that needs to be studied separately. In my opinion, culture is people's understanding of that person's daily life, and how they see their particular life. Its spread and diffusion are very complex. As it has been said throughout the book, the strength of a country's economy does not mean that there is a possibility of changing culture. 2) Interesting A...
