Blog assignment 2 - Cultural Globalization / Yeqing



Summary:

The influence of globalization on culture In addition to the general conflicts of inter-ethnic culture, Western culture is the main content on a larger scale and at a deeper level. With the strong position of economics and media technology, Western countries are pushing their capital, goods and technology to developing countries, and bringing their cultural values ​​such as values ​​and behaviors to the rest of the world. 

process promotes some "convergence" of world culture on the one hand, and stimulates the formation of "cultural nationalism" on the other hand. While foreign cultures are pouring in and squeezing and occupying traditional social space, the revival of national culture that expresses its own existence and shows national dignity is also advocated worldwide

Globalization does not bring about the cultural homogenization in people's imagination, but it leads to the diversity of cultural expressions and the diversification of existence. The pressure of globalization and the rebound of cultural nationalism are a positive relationship. When the process of globalization suddenly accelerated at the end of the 20th century, the growth of world-wide national consciousness and the improvement of cultural consciousness also intensified, maintaining the right to cultural survival. Fighting cultural hegemonism has become a universal voice of developing countries and nations. Of course, within the multi-ethnic countries, the traditional culture of ethnic minorities is also facing the impact of modern mainstream culture. Their cultural resistance and the resulting contradictions with the main ethnic groups have also become contemporary people with the acceleration of globalization. The important content of the problem.

From a cultural point of view, globalization is a process in which different cultures communicate and integrate with each other, that is, the process of forming a rich, vivid and diverse global culture. This is a two-way motion process consisting of two vectors, the unity of global culture and the diversity of national culture. For each nation-state, there is a question of correctly dealing with the relationship between global cultural unity and national cultural diversity.

People of different nationalities have different cultures and believe in different values. As long as they do not confront each other, they will add new colors and vitality to the contemporary world. For the big system of human beings and the specific people who work in this system. Diversity is indispensable.   

In addition, the development of information brought about by globalization, the expansion of various interest networks, and the intentional penetration of certain countries in a favorable position in the process of globalization have made local ethnic conflicts and conflicts easily break through national boundaries and become international issues. And the hegemonism of the great powers and national egoism can easily use these contradictions to serve their own strategic goals, thus greatly increasing the complexity of dealing with domestic ethnic issues. The Kosovo crisis at the turn of the century and the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict are prominent manifestations of the internationalization of national issues. Of course, this is also the reason why countries will also pay attention to the prudence and impartiality of their respective ethnic issues, and attach importance to cooperation and coordination in the common interests, thus contributing to the resolution of ethnic issues.

What was interesting / what did i learn:

In the context of globalization, each community or country must presuppose the security of other communities or countries in its economic resources, ecological environment and territorial security. The relationship between them must be based on a culture that is inherently closely related and has mutually constitutive factors - that is, a culture of interdependence or "symbiosis." In other words, today's human activities have become an interactive whole, which requires people's behaviors and ways of thinking to get rid of that kind of binary separation, the symbiosis mode of one or the other, and give up the kind of "zero" from the mode of thinking. And "rules of the game, diverted to a "win-win" rule

Disscusion point:

Economic globalization will inevitably lead to the unification of culture. Agree?How do you explain the current phenomenon of American hegemony?
