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...

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...
