 What is the relationship between culture and globalization?

1) Summary

Globalization and culture are mutually reinforcing. Globalization is at the center of modern culture, and cultural practices are at the center of globalization. With the development of economic globalization and the close penetration of economy and culture, the relationship between the nationality and the world of culture is getting closer and closer, so many problems of cultural globalization appear. For cultural rights, for example, Disney's legal department is known around the world for charging royalties for any cultural content that is similar to them, even if it is just similar. Globalization brings labels to culture, such as East Asian culture, West Asian culture, Mediterranean culture, American culture, etc., from which cultural commodities are derived. Culture is fixed by labels and commodities. At the same time, globalization has also promoted the exchange and development of cultures in different countries and regions. What is certain is that globalization affects culture as well as our lives.


2) Interesting points

With the advancement of Internet technology and the enhancement of intelligence transmission and information communication capabilities, the impact of globalization on culture is irreversible. Because culture is born in daily life, and our daily life has been in the environment of social, economic and political globalization, which will undoubtedly cause the globalization of culture. The globalization of culture is interesting. For example, the Hollywood blockbuster of the United States can achieve high box office all over the world, because the world is accepting the American values of freedom and democracy.


3) Discussion points

The globalization of culture is irreversible. So there will be a lot of cultural belonging, as well as cultural plagiarism, cultural appropriation and other problems. How should we protect the traditional culture of our nation in the cultural globalization?
