Reading 1: What is Globalization / Lee Jiyeon

 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 to the promotion of cultural themes. Ignoring the social dimension is rather noticeable because many ideas about globalization have been carried out by sociologists. In other words, many sociologists often overlook a very important social aspect of this general topic, saying that the debate on globalization is a prominent participant. In short, the main dimensions of globalization can be defined as cultural, social, and economic. It should be emphasized that communication is involved when referring to the social dimension. In other words, interest in the environment is part of modern human culture. The problem of the form of globalization was sharply raised by Immanuel Wallerstein, even though Wallerstein himself did not approve the concept of globalization itself. He strongly argued that there were other ways the world could have at the time. On the one hand, apart from the problem of imperialism, the problem of the form of globalization can be directly dealt with. Wallerstein regards this expansion as increasingly challenged by what he calls the anti-establishment. But he was not as optimistic about the latter as in some anti-globalization movements. First of all, attention should be paid to the inclusion of nation-states in the process of globalization. From the opposite angle, it has been argued that the nation-state as we know it is being rapidly undermined, especially by economic forces. Contrary to this view, we argue that the nation-state should indeed be regarded as an aspect of globalization. In any case, the preference in the current work of authors is not to argue that the decline of the nation-state, but to think about the changing characteristics. The debate about their identity in various societies now is an excellent example of the centrality of the nation-state in all discussions of globalization. The concept of national identity itself has increased since the early 20th century, but it can be said that it has been globalized with intermittent intensity. Next, including the self in the general framework of global change was driven by the conviction that excluding individual or more generally local life from the scope of global change, more specifically globalization, is not viable. Therefore, we think it is very wrong to think of globalization as a purely macroscopic process, a process that excludes individuals or indeed everyday life from the realm of global change. In fact, the increase in individual identity manipulation by the state is much part of the Western world. It's so obvious from. This trend can be seen in the United Kingdom and the United States. The concept of localization is a concept that has received considerable attention within the scope of business research. Many of the discussions on globalization have long-standing sociological and anthropological concepts of diffusion. Indeed, it can be argued that much of the literature on globalization relates to reconstructing ideas in these two fields, especially in the case of diffusion, which date back many years. In sociology, the concept of diffusion is concerned with focusing on the way ideas and practices spread (or do not spread) from one region to another. Thus, diffusion theory predicted what we today call globalization in a very important aspect. A globalized world is an impossible world. If we approach this problem through the concept of localization, we can see that globalization is inevitably an increasingly self-limited process. Given all that has been said about us living in the global age, it is not surprising that the historical perspective of our time is greatly influenced by this enhanced sense of the world. At any point in historical time, the problems we care about the past are framed very much as they are the main features and problems of the present. At the UN, globalization focuses on four benchmarks. The world, politics, individuals, and humanity. Globalization consists of four main aspects of human life: cultural, social, political, and economic. We also stressed the importance of not embodying globalization. Globalization is not 'it' but 'it's not 'it'. In contrast to its ontological problem, recognition of its conceptual status is of paramount importance.

It was amazing that the concept of glocalization was a concept that had been studied for a long time. It can be seen that globalization was not forced, but expanded to respect the identity of the country. In addition, I thought that globalization may not only have positive aspects, but also negative aspects. I think that more advanced globalization will be achieved if countries exchange influences and acquire good cultures.

At the UN, globalization focuses on four benchmarks. Let's discuss what each person thinks of as a reference point.
