What is Globalization? - Sunghoykoung
SUMMARY
What is globalization? There are no definitions or scholars that explain this precisely in common and in differences. The term globalization has spread worldwide since 1989 when communism collapsed. From this point on, the concept of globalization begins to emerge as a one-dimensional concept of economics by the rise of capitalism. It becomes a symbol of what people think of as a 'bad' aspect of globalization. However, when many sociological factors were ignored while concentrating on the capitalist concept of globalization, the anti-globalization movement took place in the 1990s, resulting in a multidimensional approach of development developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, resulting in a lot of research on globalization.
Against this backdrop of globalization theory, many sociologists define economics, politics and culture as the three main dimensions of globalization. These three things are very closely linked. McDonald's, a concept created by Reacher, allows transnational companies in the West to do business for economic benefits, but cultural adaptation is made to promote sales in each country. This kind of problem is expressed in the concept of globularization. Sociologists also tend to underestimate the social dimension of globalization, and the spread of social interaction and communication represented by the Internet or mobile phones is also an important aspect of globalization. Communication is an indispensable element in the social aspects of globalization.
Looking at another aspect, totalitarian ideas such as imperialism and fascism also emerge on the issue of world unification. These ideas may be seen as first-rate ideas, but they have become an important issue as attempts to combine the imperialist movement with modern society to recognize protozoic uniformity took place.
The concept of a nation-state, which has constituted a human society for centuries, does not decline, but is also part of globalization," the author explains. Rather, the reason for globalization has become a nation-state, and it has also played a role in establishing the identity of migrants on the issue of multicultural society and refugees, a problem derived from globalization.
The general patterns that appear in the globalization process are the international system aspects, the concept of humanity, the individual self and the state. First of all, a national nation must be included in globalization. Through massive migration, the world is turning into a multicultural society. Multiculturalism has spawned many problems and concerns, but it is gradually becoming a global benchmark.
Next, including the ego in the framework of globalization cannot be excluded from the scope of globalization either. We must realize that our daily lives are also part of the globalization process. We should also be interested in the international system.
Individualism taking place around the world isolates individuals and gradually increases responsibility for their actions. This phenomenon, in which society relies on individual efforts, is very dangerous because it can turn into a manipulation of one's identity. Globalization has its advantages, but it should continue to be noted. Critical analysis is also needed. The injustice and exploitation of globalization must be solved by us, thereby preventing it from becoming a negative word.
INTERESTING POINT
It was interesting that we could not clearly define globalization.
Discussion
Do countries or businesses that drive globalization and reap huge profits see globalization negatively?
Can't globalization be seen as a bad influence only for countries or businesses that don't have strong revenue channels or cultures?
