Cultural Globalization

John Tomlinson

The relationship between globalization and culture

Summary:

Cultural globalization, first of all to understand from globalization. The development of globalization is not only a historical process, but also a multidimensional process. It occurs simultaneously in the economic, political, technological development and cultural fields. Increasing connectivity is an obvious aspect of promoting globalization. The development of science and technology and the dissemination of culture can enable people from different countries to communicate. The spread of culture also allows people from different regions to have a deeper understanding of the life and culture of other regions.

The development and popularization of electronic communication technology is a very good rhythm for the development of cultural globalization. Such an output is not akin to suddenly changing all of our minds. Rather, it gradually conveys information and culture from all over the world to people. Let people gradually adapt, get used to and even accept it.

Many people think about globalization that it will lead to a single global culture. This makes some people fear the process of globalization and seem to think that cultural globalization is an invasion of their own national civilization. But in fact, cultural globalization is a process of seeking common ground while reserving differences. Cultural globalization is a multi-dimensional development. It is not possible to establish a single global unified culture, but various cultures communicate with each other to find common and universal characteristics. But what cannot be ignored is the existence of an opposition between culture and belief.

Interesting:

Culture seems to exist in every corner of our lives. Even the most basic instrumental culture for meeting the needs of the body. For example, diet culture has weight loss, religious fasting. There are also cultural moments like which young people buy in shopping. These common problems in daily life belong to a kind of cultural manifestation. It's not a question of mediocrity.

Questions:

1.The development process of each country is different, and the process of cultural formation is different. Some cultural concepts have already formed a deep influence on the local people. Now people can learn about other cultures, but are they really willing to accept completely different cultures blending together? Can culture really be globalized?

2.The article mentioned that "culture is not a force" about culture? The most satisfying answer is the meaning of culture in life. So are all cultures only good influences? Does this mean that all cultures can bring spirit and faith to people? In this way, does culture also bring strength and support to people?

 This blog is a digital forum where students from Fall 2022 class in Media Trends and Globalization at the Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. For each section of the course, you are expected to post a blog post on relevant readings on our blog here and make a comment on another student's post.

This question is likely to be incorporated into our class discussions. You are allowed to quote an interesting passage from the text(s) you've read, but the quotes will not count toward any length requirements. Blog’s deadline is always: Sunday, midnight, of the week the question is poste...

Reading Assignment 2: “What is the relation between culture and globalization?” LUAN QIANYUE

Cultural Globalization - Tomlinson   (1) Summary Globalization is not just a matter of politics, economic movements or the rise of trans-regional and large regions. Tomlinson believes that there is a multidimensional "globalization" in which the cultural dimension is an important area that needs to be studied separately.

Economic globalization improves the efficiency of enterprises and plays an important role in the expansion of national economies. The authors believe that multinational corporations are the central players in economic globalization and the main shapers of the global economy. -TNC and its activities are undoubtedly one of the keys to understanding urban and regional development in today's globalized world economy. The internationalization of economic activity and its main instrument, the multinational corporation, can simply be seen as part of the normal expansion process of capitalist development. In the context of economic globalization, the rising power and status of transnational corporations an...
