Extra credit reading (China and globalization)——ZHANG LINYUE

  Is globalization good for China?     I think globalization is beneficial for China. Taking economic globalization as an example, as a developing country, China has increased its attractiveness to foreign investment in the process of economic globalization.

  Summary  This article highlights the significant role played by multinational corporations in economic globalization. It provides a multidimensional analysis of multinational corporations to illustrate the phenomenon of economic globalization. Discussing the scale and geographical distribution of multinational corporations, the article summarizes their importance in the early development of the international economy. Charter companies such as the East India Company and Hudson's Bay Company played a crucial role in European development, serving as precursors to global trade and service corporations.    While multinational corporations in the manufacturing sector emerged in the latter half of the 19th century, by the eve of 1914, companies from countries like the United States and the United Kingdom had already become increasingly multinational. Over the past 50 years, the number of multinational corporations has grown exponentially, becoming a key force in the globa...

Extra credit reading and blog idea-ZHANG LINYUE

   The title 'Living in a la carte world' is similar to how Chinese people view European oil paintings, which is somewhat abstract. Whether it is "European and American leaders tend to view the world through competing ideologies and political systems, or in such systems, whether you support or oppose the West," or the results of public opinion surveys, both reflect a focus on how to develop pragmatically. For example, the values of life in China and Russia that Westerners view; The issue of political alliance among Westerners; War and peace issues; The issue of Western living standards and values; The question of whether a free society can survive; The competition between the leaders of Europe and the United States over their respective ideologies and political systems; They talked about winning the "global south" of the West and supporting a rule-based order to confront their challengers; In terms of human rights and so on.

Reading Assignment 3: “What is the relation between politics and globalization?”——ZHANG LINYUE

  1) Summary  Political globalization is a phenomenon that transcends national boundaries and encompasses multiple dimensions, accelerating and interconnecting in space and time. It emphasizes post-national and transnational processes and the compressed nature of space and time. Political globalization encompasses the dimensions of global geopolitics, global normative culture and polycentric networks, and it has shaped the complex field of global politics. It emphasizes the diversity and complexity of globalization, making politics no longer confined to national borders but closely linked to global issues. The globalization of politics is not only a geopolitical challenge, but also a legitimization of global norms and cultures and the shaping of global politics. This phenomenon of globalization plays an important role in global politics.  In THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE NATION-STATE, NATIONALITY AND CITIZENSHIP, globalization has transformed the State but has not led to its ...

Hofstede's Variable---ZHANG LINYUE

  The data shows that China and South Korea are close to the level of individualism culture. However, the Chinese data is higher than the Korean data. As an example of classroom habits on campuses in both countries, in Korean classrooms, group activities and group presentations are often conducted. While in Chinese classrooms, individual projects are preferred.   The degree of uncertainty avoidance is much higher in Korea than in China. Still taking the classrooms in both countries as an example, Korean classrooms prefer to inform students of all the activities of the semester in the first class, and even class quizzes for a particular class need to be informed to students in the first class. In China, The content and length of the lectures are based on the professor's teaching schedule in the classroom. There is no fixed time limit.Students are not informed of the exact schedule and activities in the first class.

Blog Assignment 1 "What is Globalzation?"---ZHANG LINYUE

  Summary    As can be seen through this essay, the author analyzes the comprehensiveness of globalization as a complex and multifaceted process through four aspects: the parameters of the general process of globalization, the dimensions of globalization, the forms of globalization, and global history. Globalization is considered to be the interconnection of all aspects of human life. The most important aspects are cultural, social, political and economic dimensions.      In terms of the parameters of the general process of globalization, the author argues that global consciousness operates in complex ways and that the most important feature of globalization is increased connectivity. And by citing Huntington, it is shown that increasing connectivity and global consciousness are economic materialism, policy and ideology around resources.     In terms of the dimensions of globalization, the author explains that there are three main dimensions of gl...

 1.Comparison of Tripadvisor and Wikivoyage Answer: Wikivoyage has the advantage of being a non-profit, with no paid search. In the US: Wiki is preferred over Trip Advisor. Looking at the data, I think the reason why trip is more popular than wiki is because of the extensive marketing approach and the constantly updated data.https://www.similarweb.com/website/wikivoyage.org/vs/tripadvisor.de/#ranking

[9.15]Media Trends and Globalization Classroom question-----ZHANG LINYUE

  1.How could we measure culture globalization? Answer:There are many measures of cultural globalization. I think from a linguistic point of view, English, for example, is close to completing the globalization indicator. In today's exchanges between countries, English is often used as a communication channel to communicate. In addition, Chinese language, due to the large population of China, there are Chinese people all over the world, so Chinese language has carried out cultural transmission through population flow. To a certain extent, cultural globalization is formed. I think my answer is more specific. 2.China, japan, South Korea which one has the most impact on global culture?

9.11 Understanding Small and Data with Wikis Classroom question-----ZHANG LINYUE

1. IS this realistic? Can Wikivoyage non-commercial model compete against commercial initiatives? Answer: I think it can be done. Just like the now famous TikTok and other social media platforms, we can always browse the travel tips shared by netizens. And many people follow the travel guide to action. If there is a global travel guide platform, I think it can be realized through the efforts of global netizens. When visitors have been to a certain scenic spot, upload specific experiences, such as local food, and identify interesting places after visiting the destination. And local people to the history of the area. I think it is possible to achieve a comprehensive travel guide. And, in non-commercial mode, the user interface is cleaner and more comfortable. Business models have a lot more fragmented advertising messages than non-business models. The user experience is affected, and there are commercial transactions in the sharing of tourism content. In the non-business mode, the touris...

9.11 Media Trends and Globalization Classroom question ------ZHANG LINYUE

  1.How could a fusion culture look in 100 years? Answer: I think from the perspective of food culture, regional tastes will come together, and it will no longer be just the taste of the people in one place. For example, after coming to South Korea, the Chinese fried sauce noodles, integrated with the taste habits of South Koreans, has become sweet food. And people in both China and South Korea love the new taste. So I think in 100 years, the fusion of food culture will be more relevant to the global population than to the people of one region. I think my answer is more specific than chatgpt. 2."Can cultures be compared? Can we argue that some cultures are better than others?" Answer: I think cultures can be compared. And in my opinion, culture is to take the essence and discard the dross in mutual communication. We can say that a particular culture of one region is better than that of another, because it is by comparison that the continuous development of culture is possible...

Media Trends and Globalization Classroom question ------ZHANG LINYUE

Answer 1 :    African Musical Instruments, such as the African drum. The folk music pursued by young Chinese nowadays mostly uses African drums. chatgpt only says that African music is famous, but does not say what exactly is famous Answer 2 :    I think global culture consists of cultural elements, political relations, and economic interactions that form globalization. I don't think one culture dominates globalization. I think every country has a great culture or economy to lead the world in a certain industry. At the same time, I think Asia's influence on global culture is growing. Because the economy determines the superstructure, Asia's economy is gradually developing, even comparable to Europe and the United States. I think my answer is a combination of objective and subjective, while chatgpt is more objective. But I think the answer needs to be a combination of objective and subjective, in order to be meaningful.
