Reading 1

   Globalization is going on in many fields, and the culture of globalization is diverse and complex. Culture as globalization constitutes an important influence. If we understand globalization from the perspective of culture, it will be guessing. Through culture, we can see other fields, and we can know that globalization has unity in some aspects.

   If we consider the development of globalization from a cultural perspective, will cultural exchanges between different countries affect the development of globalization? In other words, does culture shock change the existing cultural globalization?

[Hofstede's dimensions] Comparing South Korea, China & Japan

Image
   I compared Korea, China, and Japan using Hofstede's dimension. What are the cultural measures of neighboring countries with similar cultures? [Masculinity]  Japan's index was the highest with 95 points. I think this is related to the indicator of individualism. In the case of individual-centered Japan, not group-centered, it focuses on individual performance and shows a strong preference for achievement or success. Therefore, I think a high number came out of Masculinity. On the other hand, in Korea, efforts are made to reduce unnecessary conflicts and maintaining relationships is important. Therefore, I think it shows a relatively low score in Masculinity.

First, it is Power Distanced. This is an indicator of the hierarchical degree of each country. The hierarchies of the three countries are in the order of China, Korea, and Japan.      In terms of individualism , Japan has the highest score of 46. It can be interpreted that this item means the degree of personalization of the country. In comparison, China and Korea recorded around 20 points. This is presumed to be largely influenced by 'collectiveism', a virtue of society that has been emphasized since ancient times.   This can also be found to be related to the number of masculinity . Japan also has the highest score of 95. China followed with 66 points and South Korea with 39 points. I think it reflects Japan's strong individualism and meritocracy.   The...

Reading Assignment 4: Economic and Globalization -CAI YAYU

  A ）  Summary The term "economic globalization" was first coined by T. Levy in 1985, but there is still no agreed definition. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), "economic globalization refers to the increase in the scale and form of cross-border trade in goods and services and capital flows, as well as the widespread and rapid diffusion of technology that has increased the interdependence of the world's economies". According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), "economic globalization can be seen as a process in which economies, markets, technologies and forms of communication are increasingly global in character and national and local identities are diminishing". To this end, economic globalization can be understood in three ways: firstly, the strengthening of economic ties and the increasing interdependence of countries around the world; secondly, the growing convergence of domestic economic rules; a...
