Blogging Through Media Trends and Globalization (2022)

 Globalization  is concept used in many field of study, like sociology, anthropology and also in politics. The meaning of Globalization is a subject that have been discuted a lot and is still discuted, since it's definition cannot be a 100% a factual, Globalization have many definition. Velho defined globalization as " an object, a perspective and an horizon". For Velho, the direction the world is going and it's population moving whitin it, is Globalization. Globalization has been discuted in the late 70's and early 80's, but this is subject is way more popular now. For me Globalization means how culture and country influence each others. In Globalization there is many interactions and the more of them the more globalized it is.  The world is  slowly but certainly becoming  a single place, this notion is related to homogeneity. We might see in the future some small culture disapearing and see some big culture or a mix of culture becoming the new world.  Dim...

  summary It is maintained that globalization operates in complex ways with increasing connectivity. Many people could think of increasing connectivity as well as global consciousness as economic materialistic or the policies and ideologies surrounding access to such resources. The expansion of capitalism around the world seems necessary in relation to the rise of cultural themes. This shows the complexity of thinking from a multidimensional perspective, while focusing on the poverty of thinking from a one-dimensional perspective. It is said that connectivity and communication are important for globalization in all aspects, as well as ideology and economy. what did I learn? I thought that globalization was simply about movement and exchange. However, as I read the book, I learned about various perspectives and learned about their history and examples. I think it was a good opportunity to realize that the globalization that I had was simply a media world such as Netflix and YouTube....

Summary Globalization has a broad definition but, in short it is a way of saying the world is becoming a whole. The concept of globalization has been around for a long time but during the 20th, with the creation of the United Nations, there has been a rapid growth and demand for this. This was one of the first forms and step of the globalization we are experiencing now. However, globalization is not only a collaboration of multiple nations. As I stated in the beginning it has a very broad definition and can include multiple topics e.g., global governance, global citizenship, human rights, migration and the creation of diasporas, transnational connections of various kinds and so on. Not only does this require a collaboration of different nations but, it also requires humans to be connected to one another and communication. This article characterizes globalization in three points. First, globalization consists of two major directional tendencies which are, global connectivity and gl...

Summary Even though the concept of globalization has been around for centuries, the academic field has only started studying it in recent years. Therefore there is no clear definition yet that is specific but encompasses every aspect of globalization. The most basic observation about globalization is that the world is becoming “a single place”. This observation impacted various social sciences, such as sociology, political science, and anthropology. Throughout history, there were multiple ways to form this single place. Our present-world system was created through the expansion of capitalism. We can characterize globalization in a few different ways. 1) global connectivity and global consciousness. 2) The four major dimensions: social, economic, political, and cultural. 3) The four points of reference: Nation-state, self, international-system, and humanity. Some aspects of globalization are more popular than others.  Learned I thought it was very interesting to read about the...

What is the relation between culture and globalization?  1. Summary Globalization is a process of interaction and integration between people, businesses, and governments around the world. As a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, globalization is regarded as a form of capitalist expansion that includes the integration of local and national economies as a global and unregulated market economy.  As international interactions increase, international trade, ideas, and culture grow. Globalization is an economic process of interaction and integration, mainly related to social and cultural aspects. Impact on globalization and global economic development Steam locomotives, steamboats, jet engines, and container ships are not only part of the development of transportation, but also the emergence of telegrams and their modern offspring, the Internet and mobile phones, shows the development of communication infrastructure. All these improvements have been a major factor in globaliza...

Reading 1: What is globalization?  1) Summary By reading the article, I understood the concept of globalization better.With the development of the world, globalization exists in almost every aspect of our lives, and it almost inevitably covers many scientific perspectives and world views.  G lobalization is controversial. From the perspective of Velho (1997),Globalization is an object, a perspective, and a horizon, and the world is undergoing tremendous changes . in the Velho paradigm, globalization may be understood as the direction in which the world considered as a whole is moving. But everyone has a different perspective on globalization, so the discussion is still ongoing. It is very widely, if somewhat misleadingly, thought that the most important single defining feature of globalization – whether considered as a very long-term process or a rather short one – is that of increasing connectivity. It is not hard to see that global awareness is growing, but the way it w...

  Summary One of my main discoveries in these papers is that there’s no single definition for globalization, but rather a range of different views. The author lists several ways of defining globalization, resulting in a broad understanding of the diverse subject. If we look at different definitions summed up, we can guarantee that it’s related to culture, food, ideas, economy and travel. Everything that can be related to international topics can fit in the term globalization. In a broad sense, globalization could also be viewed as the direction the world as a whole is heading in. Despite the difference between Velho and Robertson’s views on globalization, both terms are important to know due to their relation to the anti-globalization movement in mostly western societies. This caused many protests against capitalist globalization. What I learned I think the main takeaway from this article is that globalization is not just a single term, but one that has expanded and cha...

 Globalization is such a multifaceted concept that opinions are divided among various countries and scholars. This is also because the definition of globalization continues to change over time and as science develops.Globalization is being talked about in various fields such as anthropology, religion, and sociology. It can be said that globalization is a "unification" of a wide and diverse world, so there is a very deep connection between the economic and socio-cultural fields. Political scientists, economists and international relation specialists have considered connectivity. While historians, anthropologists and sociologists have considered consciousness. The most interesting part for me was 'The Dimensions Of Globalization'. Sociologists argue that globalization has political, social, and economic aspects. Among them, it is said that the social aspect gets attention together as the economic aspect gets attention. A good example of this is McDonaldization by Ritzer...

 1) Summary The authors are trying to explain the general meaning of globalization and all of its aspects. They give a broader understanding of where and when the term originated and how it changed and expanded throughout the years. They point out that due to all the previous research regarding globalization, there are already many different views and opinions, and that these views also differ from one civilization to another. This makes it difficult to concretely define globalization, especially as there are also so many different factors and areas to take into consideration. The authors proceed to nicely break down and explain all these factors, giving examples and mentioning other researchers and their views. They discuss the political, cultural, economic and social dimensions and how they affect globalization, Capitalism and both it’s negative and positive impact on globalization, and finally, the impact nation-states, individuals, “international systems” or the current biggest...

 A. Summarry From the article, i can conclude that globalization has three characteristics, which are: 1.  globalization consists primarily of two major directional tendencies ,  increasing global connectivity and increasing global awareness.  2.  globalization has a certain form, which has been perfected by the founding of the United Nations organization. globalization is focused on four points of reference: nation-states; world politics; individual; and humandkind. 3. globalization is shaped by four main aspects of human life - namely, cultural, social, political and economic. According to Velho (1997), globalization is an object, perspective and horizon. In Velho's paradigm, globalization can be understood as the direction in which the world is considered as a whole to move. Globalization has three major dimensions, which are the economic, the political and the cultural. Examples of globalization in economic and cultural dimensions can be founded easily from ...

  What Is Globalization? Roland Robertson and Kathleen E. White 1)Summary This article tells us about various ideas about globalization. A single definition of globalization is known to increasing connectivity (or interconnectedness) whether long process or short process. The author argues that globalization consists of an increase in connectivity and an increase in consciousness. In addition, there are four dimensions of globalization, which are cultural dimension, social dimension, political dimension, and economic dimensions. The cultural dimension has become more prominent due to the economic dimension. For example, McDonald’s is currently spread all over the world. But there are some menus that differ from original McDonalds’. This phenomenon occurs because each country has a different culture. The author argues that it is not right behavior to think about which of these four dimensions is more important. These are more noticeable or less noticeable compared to other thi...

  What Is Globalization?   - Roland Robertson and Kathleen E. White 1) Summary By reading this article, I have a better understanding of the concept and definition of globalization, and also discovered the controversy about globalization.  In the Velho(1997) paradigm, globalization may be understood as the direction in which the world considered as a whole is moving.  Globalization is mainly divided into two trends: increased global connectivity and increased global awareness. Globalization is divided into four modes: nation-state, world politics, individual and human. The main dimensions of globalization are cultural, social, political and economic. 2) Interesting items What impressed me most in this article was that there was a lot of discussion about what Ritzer called McDonaldization (2000).  I think it's very interesting, just like hiring employees from different countries will cause frustration in internal communication. Because of language and c...

 1. summary      "What is globalization?" This one question contains a variety of topics, such as "global governance, global citizenship, human rights, and transnational connections." There are various perspectives on the definition of 'globalization'. This can be seen as natural because the position of accepting globalization varies depending on the situation of countries such as advanced countries, developing countries, and underdeveloped countries. Velho (1997) looked at globalization from an object-oriented perspective. This is characterized by the idea of globalization as a single process, as Archimedes' point of view. In addition, I thought that research on globalization leads to a mixture of academic orientations, and the debate on this leads to interdisciplinary development. In fact, research on globalization has been studied in various fields such as religion, sociology, and anthropology.      Huntington argues that the conflict of civilizatio...

 1) While the general semantic specification of the question 'What is globalization' is much more explicit, it is continuously latent in the following content. Here, despite attempts to generate a clear and systematic way of analyzing globalization, it should be strongly emphasized that globalization is essentially a controversial concept in frequently used phrases. Many scholars refer to globalization as plural, not a single process of globalization. While somewhat misleading, there is widespread belief that the most important single defining feature of globalization is an increase in connectivity. In Huntington's argument, the conflict of civilization is, above all, due to fundamental differences in the concepts of the nature and purpose of human life. Many books and articles on globalization written by sociologists stipulate that there are three main dimensions: economy, politics, and culture. The expansion of capitalism around the world seemed inevitable in relation t...

  1.Conclusion:       From this article, I can understand that globalization has experienced a course of hundreds of years from its early development to today, presenting an exceptionally rich, three-dimensional and multi-dimensional landscape. And the beginning of globalization is not acceptable to most human beings, until today, globalization is also discussed in every country in the world. The word globalization contains many things, it is not only a change of consciousness, but also a change of substance. It is also a form of political, economic and cultural interdependence between countries. And the United Nations is a good symbol of globalization. 2.Interesting point:       Globalization brings certain convenience and pleasure to people's life, and different cultural inputs subconsciously affect the different definitions of each person. For example, my association with "globalization" is that globalization is the process of Silk Road, which refle...

what is globalization? YaeHyun park Each country has its own unique culture. This culture has an impact on all aspects of human life such as politics, religion, society, and economy. The spread of culture was possible only after the expansion of the empire in the past or the end of a long voyage. But now, the whole world is connected by a huge communication network called the Internet. Cultural exchange has become much faster and more convenient. A person living on one border can be connected to a completely different country. In other words, based on the rapid development of transportation and communication means and information and communication technology, artificial barriers to goods, labor, and information that exist between countries and regions have been broken down. As a result, the scope of the social and economic community expands beyond national boundaries, and the whole world is integrated into one. As the world is united, interdependence increases and transnational influen...

1) Summary Through this book, I have a new understanding of the concept of globalization. The author introduces us to the impact of globalization on us through multiple angles and directions. With the rapid social and economic development, globalization comes not to be an unfamiliar word to all of us. Though we are living in the affection of it, yet it is hard to tell it’s advantages and disadvantages. There are many definitions of globalization, and globalization has different meanings in different environments. In the definition of globalization: culture, politics, society and economy are the four levels we currently recognize, and the diversity of the global cultural field also makes Our research on globalization is constantly generating new thinking.Robertson and White in "What is  Globalization" (2008) write that "Globalization consists primarily of two major directional tendencies, increasing global connectivity and increasing global consciousness."and "G...

1） Summary        By reading what is globalization, it gives me a new understanding and knowledge of the word globalization and how it came to be. People initially had no accepted definition of globalization for the word globalization, and the author cites several eras of definitions of globalization, which probably tell the development of the meaning of globalization, with opposition, from single to diversified, etc. And from several broad categories such as the parameters of the general process of globalization, the dimensions of globalization, the forms of globalization, globalization and global history, globalization is not simply a single economic capitalist globalization, with which the political, cultural and social counterparts necessarily also have many connections and even exclusion. Globalization has also been extensively studied by sociology and history, from which many different dimensional aspects can be found, and we still have a long way to go on the ...

       What Is Globalization?Roland Robertson and Kathleen E. White 1)Summary Globalization is not only a process of integration, but also a process of diversification. In this process, different life forms interact, understand the world, express their views on the world, and also confirm their identity. Therefore, a remarkable feature of Robertson's globalization theory is that he regards globalization as a process of contradiction and unity, acknowledges that globalization and deglobalization occur and proceed simultaneously, attaches importance to the analysis of the global cultural system, and believes that cultural pluralism is a constituent feature of contemporary global conditions, including the symbolic response to globalization and the concept of explaining the world system, These in themselves are important factors that determine the trajectory of globalization. Global culture cannot and should not be a single culture or homogeneous culture, not to mention ...

What is globalization?  1. Summary In the middle ages, China once had the concept of trade with the West, and it earned a lot of foreign exchange by exporting silk and tea, so German scholars in the 18th century named this road Silk Road. Later, with the rise of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, trade and trade were blocked. In order to be authentic to the Turks, western European countries explored the sea to find a new Silk Road. 2.

                 What Is Globalization? - Roland Robertson and Kathleen E. White 1) Summary Through this book I learned about the concept of globalization, but the definition of globalization is controversial. The author gives us a simple understanding of the process of discussion and research on the concept of globalization through examples and background. Globalization not only refers to the increasingly interconnected objective facts in the world, but also refers to cultural and subjective problems. Globalization is not simply an economic issue, a political issue, a social issue or an international relations issue, but above all a cultural issue. We should not only take a cultural focus on globalization, but also understand and study it from a cultural perspective, because the global sphere as a whole is, first and foremost, a sociocultural system, a global cultural system composed of pluralistic societies. In addition, acco...
