Cultural Globalization

This article talks about the cultural globalization.
In this article, author defines globalization as a network that develops into interconnectivity and interdependence.
He then viewed the globalization of culture as an independent factor rather than simply a part that is subordinate to the capitalist market.

After this definition, the question 'What form will globalization emerge?' appears. One common assumption about this is that a single world culture will soon emerge. The reason for this is an integrated system of global markets. However, it is too early to judge, as I say, that the impact of globalization extends to all individuals and places. In some cases, traditional culture survives against the invasion of various cultures, just like anti-American cultural activities.


I have looked up some examples of this in Korean history. It is the relationship between Korea and Japan.
The anti-Japanese movement that is still underway has begun with political interests between the two countries, affecting numerous areas. And this movement did not just begin recently. Since Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945, until 1998, the Japanese culture had already been ostracized and banned. This was not simply due to historical relations, but to the fear of "being ruled by culture." In Korea at that time, everything Japanese was ostracized and taboo.
As a result, I wondered if there could really be something that is dominated by culture.
