READING 2 : What is the relation between culture and globalization ? LI ZIYUAN 이자원

Globalization is a multi-dimensional process. Globalization is a new phenomenon that has emerged increasingly in the world since the 1980s, and it is the basic feature of the present era. Globalization is not only in the economic field. Globalization is a diversified concept with economic globalization as the core, which includes the interaction, influence and restriction of various countries, nationalities and regions in politics, culture, science and technology, military, security, ideology, way of life, values and other levels and fields.

With the development of economic globalization and the close penetration of economy and culture, the relationship between the national character of culture and the world is getting closer and closer. Therefore, the issue of cultural globalization has been put on the agenda. The relationship between globalization and culture is a kind of complementary relationship, globalization is in the center of modern culture; Cultural practices are at the center of globalization.

Cultural globalization is inevitable and conforms to the development of The Times. Firstly, the impact of consumerism on culture With the globalization of cultural consumption, culture is rapidly popularized around the world. Consumer culture has penetrated into every corner of the world with its popularity and universality. Secondly, the advent of the information age, the development of the Internet and the "global village" also promote the cultural exchanges among countries. Cultural exchanges are inevitable for the development of history. Since the emergence of human culture, there has been communication between different cultures. The culture of every nation and society has the phenomenon of mutual communication and mutual absorption. And with the evolution of history and the development of science and technology, the area of communication is more and more broad, more and more close contacts, mutual influence is also more and more big. Cultural exchange is one of the main driving forces for cultural development and progress.

[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. [Long Term Orientation]   The reason why Korea scored 100 points in terms of long-term orientation is that Korea is such a practical and long-term-oriented society.

Hofstede's dimensions_ Comparing South Korea, China, Japan (MINJI JEONG)

Image
       Korea, China, and Japan are three neighboring countries in Central Asia and have many cultural connections. Therefore, the three countries were compared through the Hofstede's index. 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...
