1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 


Summarize:Globalization refers to the continuous expansion of global connections, thedevelopment of human life on a global scale and the rise of global consciousness. Countries are closely interdepen-
dent in culture, politics, and economic trade. Globalization can also be interpreted as the compression of the world and the global as a whole. Affects the growth in the number of common standards worl-
dwide.

Globalization three major areas: Economic globalization.

                                                    Political globalization.
                                                    Cultural globalization.

Economic globalization:Increasing economic interdependence of national economies across the
world through a rapid increase in cross——border movement of goods,services,technology,
and capital.

Cultural globalization: refers to the transmission of ideas, meanings, and values around the world in such a way as to extend and intensify social relations. This process is marked by the common consumption of cultures that have been diffused by the Internet,popular cultre media, and international travel. This has added to processes of commodity exchange and colonization which have a longer history of carrying cultural meaning around the globe. The circulation of cultures enables individuals to partake in extended social relations that cross national and regional borders. The creation and expansion of such social relations is not merely observed on a material level. Cultural globalization involves the formation of shared norms and knowledge with which people associate their individual and collective cultural identities. It brings increasing interconnectedness among different populations and cultures.

Political globalization :In general, globalization may ultimately reduce the importance of nation states. Supranational institutions such as the European Union,the WTO,the G8 or the internation Criminal Court replace or extend national functions to facilitate international agreement.This could ultimately lead to a global union, based on theEuropean Union model.

Anti-globalization movement :The comparative advantage allows free trade to make resource allocation more efficient and beneficial to both parties involved in the trade. After World War II, many international organizations such as the GATT have caused considerable obstacles in international trade. In particular, the World Trade Organization evolved from the GATT: upgrading free trade goods: less or eliminating tariffs; establishing free trade zones to reduce tariff funds: reducing or eliminating capital controls (funding controls affect trade development), Elimination of subsidies for local industries (reaching fair trade) Intellectual property protection, coordination of intellectual property laws between countries, usually adding more restrictions to cross-border recognition of intellectual property restrictions, for example, patents obtained in China The right can be recognized in the United States and there are many anti-globalization movements who believe that these are harmful.



2) mention of any new, interesting, or unusual items learned;


We are in the process of globalization, such as the growth of international trade and the increasingly important role of multinational corporations, which were not formulated when they were first established. Therefore, many scholars prefer to use "internationalization" rather than "globalization." Simply put, the difference between the two is that the role of the state is more important in internationalization. In other words, the degree of globalization is deeper than internationalization.


3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle;

How do you think differences between internationalization and globalization?
