what is globalization——Bailinhan


Summary of article content

This article is co-authored by Roland Robertson and Kathleen E. White, titled “What is Globalization?”

Globalization is a phenomenon process of the development of human society. Globalization refers to the continuous strengthening of global connections and the interdependence between countries in politics, economy and trade. Globalization transforms the world into a whole. Globalization has always been a controversial concept. In fact, globalization has been widely used since the fall of the Berlin Wall, from economics and politics at the beginning to culture later. The hallmark of globalization research is the mixture of various disciplinary directions. In sociology, anthropology, and religious studies, globalization is discussed under this clear name. Globalization has also gradually moved from unity to diversification. The core of globalization includes two directions, namely increasing global connectivity and increasing global awareness. But consciousness does not equal consensus, it is just a feeling about the world. The special operating situation of globalization is the establishment of the United Nations Organization. Develop global awareness and recognize the huge inequalities that arise from globalization, primarily in an economic sense.

Interesting point: McDonaldization, a society that gradually takes on the characteristics of fast food restaurants is called McDonaldization. McDonaldization combines sociological rationalization and management scientific management concepts, pointing out that society is changing following the operation model of fast food restaurants. McDonaldization combines sociological rationalization and management scientific management concepts, pointing out that society is changing following the operation model of fast food restaurants.At the same time, McDonald's will adapt to local conditions. For example, McDonald's in India cannot use beef. While McDonald's is operating in a unified manner, it must also pay attention to local customs and habits in order to integrate into the local area faster. This issue is discussed more fully under the concept We will turn to glocalization in due course.

In addition, the author emphasizes that attention to the environment is a part of contemporary human culture. Immanuel Wallerstein raised the issue of the form of globalization, where the world may become a single "system" that is now more or less actual in different ways. However, apart from the issue of imperialism, the formal problems of globalization can be directly solved.   An important and decisive feature of globalization is increasing connectivity (interconnectivity). This article argues that the increasing global awareness operates in a complex way, which can be said to go hand in hand with the increasing connectivity.   In addition, the au
