What is globalization? - Liyang

  The term globalization is a concept and a process of phenomena in the development of human society. There are many definitions of globalization. Generally speaking, globalization refers to the continuous increase of global connections, the development of human life on a global scale and the rise of global consciousness. Countries are interdependent in politics, economy and trade. Globalization can also be interpreted as the compression of the world and the global as a whole. After the 1990s, with the expansion of the influence of globalization forces on human society, it has gradually attracted the attention of the political, educational, social and cultural fields of various countries, which has caused a research boom.

Globalization is a new phenomenon that has become increasingly prominent worldwide since the 1980s and is a basic feature of the modern era.

There is no unified definition of globalization. Generally speaking, from the perspective of material form, globalization refers to the transboundary movement of goods and capital, and has experienced several stages of development: transnationalization, partial internationalization, and globalization. The transnational flow of goods and capital is the initial form of globalization.  In this process, there have been corresponding regional and international economic management organizations and economic entities, as well as cross-border exchanges, collisions, conflicts and integrations of spiritual forces such as culture, lifestyle, values, and ideology.

In general, globalization is a multi-level and multi-disciplinary relationship centered on economic globalization, including political, cultural, scientific, military, military, security, ideology, lifestyle, and values. Multi-concepts of influence, influence and restriction. "Globalization" can be summarized as globalization of ten aspects of science and technology, economy, politics, rule of law, management, organization, culture, ideas, interpersonal relationships, and international relations.

Globalization is a provocative word. Advocates say that it will bring unprecedented progress and prosperity to the entire world; critics assert that it will bring poverty, war and even cultural extinction to developing countries. What is globalization? Are we really experiencing unprecedented globalization? What has the past globalization brought to us?

Globalization is a process that refers to the flow of material and spiritual products that breaks through the constraints of regions and national boundaries and affects life in every corner of the planet. Globalization also includes the cross-border movement of people. Human mobility is the highest level of material and spiritual mobility.

Scientific and technological progress is the driving force behind all social changes. The advancement of transportation and communication technology is the support of globalization. The advancement of transportation promotes the globalization of people and material products, and the advancement of communication promotes the globalization of spiritual products. Of course, the role of the two types of technology is often inseparable. The Internet can mobilize capital, and ships can also spread the spirit.

Aside from the factors of technological progress, globalization is the globalization of capital, and the globalization of capitalism, that is, the globalization of profit--the Marx discussed the essence of globalization 150 years ago. In addition to the war, capital madly chasing profits on a global scale, 24 hours a day, never tired. Therefore, the globalization so far is reflected in the expansion of the market economy system around the world. All other aspects of globalization, including the international communist movement, are derived from the globalization of capital. If the expansion of the world market is inevitable, globalization is also inevitable. Since globalization affects life in every corner of the planet, people certainly want to have their own distinct positions. The complexity of globalization is that different things can produce different results in different spaces and at different times. These four types of variables are infinite. Since people can't predict all the variables, they have to rely on ideology to determine their position.

For many supporters, globalization is an ideology based on the ideals of the world. Supporting globalization means respecting the "market law" and conforming to the historical trend. For many opponents, anti-globalization is an ideology based on the ideal of an equal world. Anti-globalization is against expanding the gap between the rich and the poor and opposing hegemony. Ideological tendencies are human nature and an important driving force for human progress. However, the author does not want to talk about ideology here, just want to talk about things.

Globalization performance

Today's weak national language is facing the impact of strong language, globalization, the Internet, etc., and its social use function is in a dangerous situation of gradual weakening or disappearing.

Therefore, relevant institutions and linguistic circles should take active and effective measures to rescue the endangered national language; protect the national language, which is conducive to the inheritance and development of human civilization, and is also conducive to national unity and social stability.

Contemporary globalization is mainly embodied in the four aspects of internationalization, liberalization, universalization and planetaryization. Internationalization mainly refers to transnational boundaries and describes the differences in political and economic aspects between different ethnic groups and countries.

Liberalization is often used by economists, while generalization is more used by cultural researchers, mainly involving specific values: a more global world is culturally homogenized. Planetaryization involves the dissemination of messages and cultural security issues.
