The relationship between culture and globalization CHENYUNLIN

 summarize

 It is understood from the text that globalization has shown the characteristics of multiple levels, complexity and rapid development, and has brought profound effects not only in the economic and political fields, but also in the environmental and cultural fields. Cultural globalization emphasizes the important role of culture in shaping human life and linking different cultures, while also sparking speculation about the possibility of a single global culture.

 In the economic sphere, globalization seems to be driving a trend of unification, and integrated systems make economic exchanges more convenient. In this case, people worry that the global culture will homogenize, resulting in a single, universal cultural form. There are also dystopian thoughts about the unification of global culture. In fact, globalization is not only promoting homogenization, but also promoting the exchange and interaction between cultures, which also provides opportunities for different cultures to coexist and influence each other.

 In the field of political thought, the integration of cultural differences with a sense of community has become particularly urgent. Globalization challenges traditional notions of national boundaries and culture and promotes shared values and cooperation across borders.


Interesting point

 Arouse people's discussion of utopian and dystopian thinking. The concern expressed by some that globalization may lead to a single global culture reflects the importance attached to the protection of cultural diversity. However, some people believe that globalization is not only a process of cultural homogenization, but also promotes the interaction between cultures and the birth of new cultures. This kind of diversity and innovation is also an interesting phenomenon worthy of attention.


discuss

Does globalization threaten cultural diversity? Or does it promote cultural innovation and diverse development?

Blog’s deadline is always: Sunday, midnight, of the week the question is poste

What Is Globalization? - HUANG YIXIAO

1) summarize  To characterize globalization are the following. 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. This means that, like the operations of the UN, globalization is focused upon four points of reference: nation-states; world politics;  individuals; and humankind. Third, globalization is constituted by four major facets of human life -  namely, the cultural, the social, the political, and the economic. These dimensions are in reality heavily  intertwined, one or two aspects being more prominent at any given time or place. For example, in the modern world, the cultural and the economic are closely interpenetrative. For these reasons, a numbe
