Online blog writing assignment 3 /What is the relation between politics and globalization ZHANG ZEHUA

Globalization is an organization that spans national boundaries, time and space, is multi-dimensional, accelerated, and interconnected. Insofar as political globalization is concerned, it involves an approach to the social world that emphasizes postnational and transnational processes, as well as an awareness of the compressed nature of space and time.

One of the most pervasive forms of political globalization is the spread of democracy based on parliamentary nation-states around the world. Democratic government exists in some form in most places, and where it does not exist, such as China, there is considerable demand for democratic government from democratic movements. This is a kind of globalization based on geography, largely limited to the political form of the nation-state. It has both traditional forms and constitutes a new type of global geopolitics.

Globalization has had a profound impact on politics. First, globalization has increased the complexity and uncertainty of international politics. Countries are more closely connected and international affairs are more complex, requiring more coordination and cooperation. Secondly, globalization has triggered new political issues such as international environmental protection, global wealth gap, and network security. These problems require joint efforts by all countries to resolve.

Globalization has changed the international political landscape. Globalization has changed the balance of power between strong and weak countries. The growth of economic strength has enabled some emerging countries such as China and India to emerge on the international stage. Globalization has also strengthened the role of international organizations and multilateralism. International organizations have become an important platform for coordinating national actions and dealing with global issues.

But political globalization has also given rise to a new set of tensions around which politics is now structured. Where previously the main political conflicts centered on class divisions, schisms between state and civil society, traditional and industrial economies, or resistance to imperial rule, now complementary debates have emerged around a range of changing concerns: difference rights, individuals and communities, liberal democracy and cosmopolitanism. Indeed, political globalization has created the possibility for a proliferation of sites of political conflict around an expanded set of concerns: governance, identity, mobility and communities prominent among them.

For example, the Snowden incident in the United States has triggered widespread discussions around the world about personal privacy rights.

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...
