What is globalization? CHENYUNLIN

summarize

 What is globalization? This is a matter of debate. There are many definitions of globalization. Generally speaking, globalization refers to the increasing global connections, the development of human life on the basis of global scale and the rise of global consciousness. Countries depend on each other in politics, economy and trade. Globalization can also be explained as the compression of the world and the view of the globe as a whole.

 After the 1990s, with the expansion of the influence of globalization on human society, it has gradually attracted the attention of various countries in the fields of politics, education, society and culture, and triggered a large-scale research upsurge. Whether the perception of "globalization" is good or bad is still unknown at present. For example, globalization is a double-edged sword for local culture, which will gradually blur and lose the connotation and self-renewal ability of local culture.


     Interesting aspect

  The globalization debate involves many interesting and complex aspects. One             interesting point is the impact of globalization on culture. On the one hand,                globalization has made it easier to spread and contact various cultures, and people      can easily experience literature, movies, music and food from all over the world.            However, on the other hand, it also raises the concern of cultural homogenization,        that is, some local characteristics and traditional culture may gradually disappear          and be replaced by a globalized popular culture.


   Another interesting point is the impact of globalization on economic and social           inequality. While globalization has brought economic growth and development          opportunities to some countries, it has also exacerbated the wealth gap in some          developing countries, resulting in resource imbalances and social inequities. This  economic inequality has also sparked controversy over the fairness and sustainability  of globalization, making people think about how to achieve more balanced and      inclusive development in the process of globalization.


In addition, globalization has led to discussions about national sovereignty and global governance. As countries become more interconnected, some fear that national sovereignty may be eroded, while global issues such as climate change and trade policy have led to questions and rethinking of the global governance system.


     discuss

In conclusion, we need to balance various interests and concerns when discussing the globalization debate. By promoting the protection of cultural diversity, improving the equity of the global economic system, and strengthening the effectiveness of global governance mechanisms, we can achieve more just and sustainable development in the process of globalization. This requires the concerted efforts and cooperation of the international community to ensure that the benefits of globalization reach all and pave the way for future global development.

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
