Cultural Globalization

Cultural Globalization

 

1) Summarize in your own words of materials you read

We have to understand definition of culture and globalization in order to know the meaning and character of ‘cultural globalization’. In all these ways, it is quite clear that we are living in a much more globally connected world today than even 20 years ago, and in longer historical terms the level of global interdependence is without precedent. The globalization process may lead to a single global culture in future. In fact, we can see the unifying world in the economic sphere recently. In the past, social and economic processes and practices are the ‘independent’ phenomena. But now, the world is considered a ‘single place’. This make many problems. The ‘Third World’ does not partake of the globalized economy or of globalized communications in the same way as the developed world. We have to review the true meaning of globalization by saying that it is an unfair process. We will concern about the exclusive western culture in our world. Let us now try to connect these thoughts about the institutionalization of identity with the issue of cosmopolitanism. The way we can do this is to understand the cosmopolitan disposition – the sympathy with a globally encompassing humanism and with rights and obligations belonging to this – as belonging to a specific identity position.

3) Identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle

I do not unconditionally accept the diversity of cultural acceptance.

For example, Korea's large discount stores and warehouse-type discount stores in the West, unlike sell packaged fresh food and various goods such as vegetables, fruits, like people who like the market in small quantities. But while the West continues along the hypermarkets are not bound to be contraction in traditional markets is our country tradition, I think it can go gradually lost when the country's unique culture so. The growth of the hypermarkets should be suppressed like a free enterprise is not growing and the traditional markets as well as support and promote the exercise of active government in the traditional markets.
