 What is globalization?

1. Summary

The book introduces other concepts of globalization that scholars think. Some sociologists define that there are three main dimensions of globalization: economic, political, and cultural. The cultural perspective means that the characteristics of a country, such as Starbucks or McDonald's, have spread to many countries. For this reason, economic practices have also occurred, and while adaptive generalizations have occurred to accommodate localization, the conclusion is that the expansion of self-helpism entails upgrading cultural themes. Another scholar explained that globalization is a process that is challenged by nation-states. Therefore, it is said that globalization is a process in which a nation-state is rapidly damaged by economic power. From another point of view, he also said that globalization is a link between nations, focusing on the relationship between nations. Attempts to specify globalization first consist of an increase in global connectivity and an increase in global awareness. Consciousness is not an agreement, it is just a shared sense of the world as a whole. Second, globalization has a specific form that has been completed for all meanings and purposes by the establishment of the United Nations Organization.


2. Interesting things

Among the various points of view, it was interesting to argue that globalization is a process of being challenged by a nation-states. In the book, documentaries and articles suggesting that the nation-state is remarkably rapidly damaged in many areas, including economic power, and that some countries make a lot of money by building coffee factories and fruit farms, but at the same time, the economy is destroyed and the environment is destroyed. It was interesting because I thought I should pay a lot of attention to this point of view personally.

3. Discussion Point

The main dimensions of globalization can be defined as culture, society, and economy. When referring to the social dimension, the book emphasizes the inclusion of communication and does not suggest that one of these dimensions is more important than the other dimensions. It is also said that it is not to maintain the exclusion of factors such as environmental or ecological changes. In the end, an important factor is human perception of the environment, and it is said that interest in the environment is part of modern human culture. I would like to discuss what are some examples for understanding the article. Also, I would like to tell you if there are more reasons other than the above reasons why communication is important.
