Blog assignment 2 - Cultural Globalization / Jeon, Hyune Joon

1. Summary

 Cultural globalization means communicating ideas, meanings, and global values in a way that improves expansion and social relationships. Early 20th centuries, the process is characterized by the general consumption of culture that has spread over the Internet, the mass cultural media and international travel. It has a long history and meaning of world culture and has been added to the exchange of goods and colonization process.

Cultural cycles allow individuals to participate in extended social relationships across national and regional boundaries. The expansion of creative and social relationships is not only observed on a material level. Cultural globalization involves the formation of shared norms and knowledge that link people's cultural identity with their own individuals and groups. This provides incremental interaction between different groups and cultures.

2. Interesting points / Key concepts

  • DETERRITORIALIZATION 

 In general, the concept of culture is associated with the idea of fame and territory. There was an assumption that culture was constrained by physical space and accompanied limited integration.

But the complex, abstract relationships that globalization brings have weakened this concept. Globalization has overcome the limitations of this region.

The most fundamental characteristic of globalization is its territory foreign exchange due to its complex social and economic integration and expansion. This means that the areas of your day-to-day experience are extended and more closely linked.

Cultural globalization also has the greatest impact, weakening the correlation between cultural experience and geographic boundaries.

  •  COSMOPOLITANISM

 Cosmopolitan is an ideology of global realization that regards all humans as a single unit. Ideally, by excluding the nation's inherent values and prejudices, it is possible to move away from the state and realize the state of the world.

World history of war-torn Hegel is called the World Court, and world civilization is supported by full-fledged nationalism along with the French Revolution. In this context, attention is focused on 'international' such as Marxism and Anarchism, a leftist internationalist movement. 
According to Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto, workers claim they don't have a home country and claim 'uniting workers from all over the world.' But at the same time, he claimed, 'The proletarian classes must become citizens themselves by gaining political control.' 
In Marxism, internationalism was not distinct from the internationalism of the 'rootless' people, and it was not a denial of the national unit. 
The tendency to stress the state with class became stronger in the 20th century when the influence of Marxism reached the developing world and accompanied the struggle for national liberation. And that globalism was bourgeois.

In the 20th century, the internationalism of socialism was defeated by nationalism and The World War Ⅱ erupted. The post-Cold War reaction of the United Nations was limited by the Cold War ethics, but the interdependence of each other was intensified and the international community became more real. Since the Cold War, globalization has progressed and the national system has been shaken greatly. The international community is now formed not only by inter-state relationships but also by NGOs and international media such as multinational corporations and civic movements. Citizens' thoughts within them are not only about international work but also about international views.
  • CULTURAL IDENTITY
 Cultural identity belongs to a specific group of people who are affected by a sense of identity or by various countries, race, gender, or religion. This identity is created by communication, the value of groups and family members, faith and important personal experience.

There is a difference in individual cultural identity. There are a number of factors that are influenced by the natural use of new languages, the group that likes analog devices, the group that loves rap or classical music, and the group that works with Barbie at an early age.

And when people meet and communicate with each other in the age of globalization, these differences can be found without difficulty. People who didn't understand what a Japanese man said made a mistake. Mistakes when Germans did not know it was inappropriate to fill the empty cups politely.

It is possible to reaffirm the legitimacy of life and strengthen one's identity within it by identifying the traditional existence that exists in modern life. This is directly related to the meaning of the existence of life, and this festival can be an important mediator in the process. The number of festivals and festivals is increasing not only in Korea but also in the world.

3. Discussion 

 Today, the international community is no longer established due to inter-state relationships. The same is true of international media such as NGOs and multinational corporations and civil rights movements.

As a citizen of this world, the need for an international perspective has been raised as well as international society. What do you think?

Comments

  1. My thoughts are a bit different from the last discussion. In many international societies, most international organizations are established and maintained through inter-state relations. I think it is hard to establish in a single country. In the same context, there is a reason why it is hard for international organizations to be established in North Korea. Many NGOs are created in the international community and are influenced by international issues and trends. Therefore, I think that international organizations and globalization have a great connection.
