what is the globalization.

1. summary

Roland Robertson and Kathleen E. white start the article with introducing many terms of globalization uses and opposing to call globalization as a single process. authors tried to explain the globalization by reflecting on what others have talked about globalization.

authors mentioned that the interconnectedness is the most important single defining feature of globalization. globalization is considered as a combination of both subjective and cultural factors. connectivity is considered by political scientist, international relations specialists and economist in order to define the feature while anthropologists, sociologists and cultural historians is covered by consciousness in globalization.

there are three major dimensions. the economic, the political and the cultural. authors use Ritzer's McDonalization(2000) as an example of effects of globalization and its spread although Ritzer did not write it in same purpose.  this show thinking of the multidimensional and uni-dimensional terms.

2. interesting point

However, it seems like the globalization is Tsunami that is unable to stop overflowing.
