Blog assignment 1 - What is Globalization? / Jeon, Hyune Joon

  If internationalization represents an increase in inter-state exchanges in quantitative terms, globalization means not only the expansion of quantitative exchanges, but also cooperation and development between countries. And the process of getting its own resources in accordance with politics and economics. Globalization places importance on world society as a unit of analysis.
 Globalization can be viewed in three ways. First, there is a positive theory that globalization brings progress to mankind by strengthening a single world market and competition principle when the nation exchanges. On this theory, people are optimistic about the consequences of globalization and argue that globalization brings prosperity to the world's society because many countries have a relative advantage in trade.
  On the other hand, there are opinions that think globalization has a negative impact rather than a positive effect. One of the opinions that focuses on the negative consequences of globalization is the possibility of human globalization through social movements. They stress that the ongoing globalization is strengthening global economic dominance by transnational capital and inequality among nations, for example, anti-humanitarianism and anti-globalization movements.  Finally, globalization can be viewed as a two-sided process with both positive and negative aspects. They argue that globalization cannot seem like a blessing or disaster, and that globalization should not be separated by dichotomy. For them, globalization is a new opportunity to improve economic and cultural life and a crisis that strengthens global inequality. A compromise that calls for a balanced understanding of globalization actually emphasizes value judgments based on judgments.
  Robertson claims the world has become a place. This argument has had a great impact on social science. Globalization is happening in economic, cultural and political areas. What is remarkable about the globalization of culture is the trend toward Americanization. Today, the influence of American pop culture and lifestyle, represented by Hollywood films, pop music and Disneyland, has never been greater. These world-class cultural restructuring is accelerating the global trend in that it has a greater impact on daily life and cultural life and consciousness than any Western policy or technology.

  Globalization is an important concept for understanding social changes around the world. Since the late 1990s, exchanges between countries have exploded and globalization has been actively carried out due to the development of ICT. With globalization taking place, people tend to evaluate it from a positive and negative standpoint. Globalization is a new opportunity to improve political, economic and cultural life and a crisis that strengthens global inequality. Therefore, a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of globalization should be required, and a more aggressive and multidisciplinary response strategy should be required.

  Through the reading text, the assessment of globalization is positive, negative and both-sided. Today, globalization in the economic, cultural, and political area has not only had a significant impact on the government, businesses and people, but also has a huge influence. I would like to discuss how globalization will change or develop in a situation where the 4th industrial revolution is happening in developed countries.

  1. It is clear that globalization is a good opportunity and a positive influence on many countries. However, many developing countries do not even have the opportunity to participate in globalization. I think cultural and economic globalization is the preserve of developed countries except developing countries. I think this will only make the difference between advanced countries and developing countries. This is a negative part of globalization. What do you think?
