1. Summarize

- Changes of globalization and trade environment

We live in an era of globalization. Goods transport and the rapid development of information and communication technologies, and changing services.

The global economic environment becomes more closely the effects of globalization, interdependence among nations has been deepened. While globalization is from the World Trade Organization (WTO) launched. The proliferation of free trade in accordance with World Trade Organization was launched to promote international trade. As consumers we have been able to expand the deal to buy cheaper products were able to choose from a variety of good products.

Corporate globalization is the sales market and increasing the size of the transaction. Whereas international competitiveness is weak industrial sector has also weakened or external dependence is growing disadvantage.

As economic interdependence between countries has increased each region and country is adapting to changes in the economic environment of globalization, organizational and economic cooperation between the countries to equip a greater competitive edge by working to improve their competitiveness.

Most of the leading multinational companies still maintain more than half of the activity in their home country. In the so-called multinational corporations in a global company operating in the score, come in all shapes and sizes. Countries to multinational companies operating in one or two countries outside the home base. This response is that work in different political, social and cultural environment.

The European Union is the oldest and the highest level of economic cooperation.

In addition, the economy, and is gradually expanding the political, social sector policies.

Today the European Union has seen a huge single market have been equipped with international competitiveness, as well as exchanges, peace, community problem solving and also performance. There are a number of problems, however, it appears by the economic differences of each country in the process of integrating the different countries. According to the various ethnic conflicts and cultural differences, language and customs are factors that hinder the European Union.
 

2. Mention of any new, interesting, or unusual items learned

- Today, globalization is accepted, but the general trend is believed that these symptoms are not just welcomed in every country. Because developed countries have advocated a globalization but to come closer to another form of international pressure From the industry's development level is low or middle power such as globalization is underdeveloped position through intellectual property rights or environmental issues.

Of course, multinational organization which was formed to solve the problem could not be solved is the existing state that there is still increasing in importance.

United Nations (UN), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), also increased the proportion of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Amnesty International than as an intergovernmental organization with (Amnesty International), Greenpeace (Green Peace), such as non-governmental organization (NGO).

On the other hand, the globalization of culture subject areas also need attention. Cultural production, distribution and culture of networks in individual countries at the international level of consumption and lifestyles are rapidly spreading around the world.

Created by world news, movies, television programs, popular music, computer software, etc. it is available to all distributors to help in the global market. however, it should deepen the cultural dependent on the developed countries.
 

3. Discussion

 - Globalization has thus deepened the gap between rich and poor. I think the maximum beneficiaries of globalization is the United States. Problem of globalization is a unilateral rather than a reciprocal exchange between cultures. Political and economic culture as it is in developed countries are unilaterally entering. For example, the environmental pollution is a product of globalization invalid by the great powers. I can not stop globalization, but I think it is going to need to make efforts together.

 

 

Political Globalization

Political Globalization

1) Summarize in your own words of materials you read

Today's globalization is a new phenomenon appeared in society since the mid-20th century, Globalization of politics, economy, culture, society, the boundaries of the modern sovereign nation-state that is based on the geographical segmentation of the territory in areas such as the weakening global environment is one of the world society in the process of integration.
We have seen how political globalization is associated with the changing relationships between state, society and the individual, and the new transnational or global communities, networks and publics which have come into existence and which are in turn driving new forms of politics.
Central to understanding these developments is the idea of civil society which perhaps more than any other development has come to symbolize the political potential of globalization, and signals the onset of globalization from below. The global is not outside the social world but is inside it in numerous ways. So it is possible to see political communication in the public sphere as increasingly framed by global issues. In terms of the three-fold conceptualization of globalization discussed earlier, it may be suggested that global normative culture is playing a leading role in shaping political. The concept of civil society is much contested and for present purposes it simply refers to the political domain between the state and the market where informal politics takes place. In global terms this corresponds to new spaces beyond the state and the inter-governmental domain and which are independent of global capitalism. The three dynamics of political globalization will be examined in this chapter around four examples of social transformation: the transformation of nationality and citizenship, the public sphere and political communication, civil society, and space and borders.

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.
 

2) Mention of any new, interesting, or unusual items learned
Cultural conflicts caused by globalization.
  - The culture of any group is developed through the process of digesting accept other cultures.
  - When unfamiliar culture seems to accept cultural conflict occurs.

The globalization of culture

- it was carried out slowly for a long time with the movement of people.

- This is to increase the speed of the recent cultural exchange was faster.

- As different cultures meet with the development of media and communication technologies will ease the increasingly globalized culture.

Standardization of culture and fusion
- Cultures of the world have become increasingly similar phenomenon.
- Phenomena that constitute a new culture and a unique culture and spread the culture of local bonds.
 

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.

World Values Survey

Justifiable: Suicide

 

I chose suicide. and I could see very interesting results.

Zimbabwe GDP has recorded the world's top 115.

There is no doubt being a starving poor countries. 

However, the suicide rate is not high compared to other countries.

What is the reason? I think that this unique religious rituals.
I don't know that it's suicide rate, even where they are not happy they don't have that many think it is very interesting.

What is Globalization?

What is Globalization?

1) Summarize in your own words of materials you read

- I think globalization means becoming integration. In other words, it means barrier which is in product and service and information disappear, and new chance is created. For example, through the trade, we can make a deal which supplements country’s advantage and disadvantage. This interaction can be stretched to chance which fuses new things and creates value. What is the reason for rapid globalization? I think the reason is development of information technology. I think spread of internet and evolution of smartphone affect breaking down the barrier in the globalization.

2) Mention of any new, interesting, or unusual items learned
- I could feel that globalization has been much progress in South Korea society than thought.
Already, I could feel globalization goes along in our life. Life style like coffee, food, language, sports, movie changed a lot, and it can affect business. We discussed in class, McDonald's, Burger Bob, a new fusion that elements, such as Nike would have occurred. So, it will be a new product in the near future due to globalization, developing continuously.

3) Identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. I think that globalization has intensified and become more complex in the future. The globalization changed people’s life style, and I think globalization’s competition will be deep. Of course, it will be good chance which is new opportunities, but it will make social problem. Before globailzation, I think each country should preserve inherent identity and characteristic.
