W3. What is globalization? - 203051473 Jae woong KIM

Summaraize
About discussions over globalization have long been debated. We have tried hard to ensure this research, but we have always been in conflict. The reason is the difference in perspective. Of course, any country would want to globalize its culture. especially, Many people in developing countries certainly refuse to accept the definition of social globalization of the privileged country. Nevertheless, globalization has already taken place whether we accept or not. So why are we trying to globalize the world?
Globalization increases global connectivity. And increase global consciousness. Consciousness does not imply consensus, but it means shared by the whole world. France, for example, sees the French terrorist attacks. Not only did France know the facts, but the whole world knew the truth through SNS. It's not just a big wave of grief in Europe. The world mourned the matter and sorry to them. This is truly remarkable.
Globalization consists of four main aspects of human life : cultural, social, political, and ecnomic. For example, We can share exhibitions, performances, etc. This is one of the ways of improving quality of life. and in politic, We try to solve problems such as refugee issues and global warmming issues because. This is because no matter how big a country is, it can't solve it alone. However, we should always be careful when talking about globalization. Just look at it as a phenomenon. We shouldn't try to shape it. It's best to look at a natural phenomenon. Much of the publicity and exploitation of the world around us needs to be watched. The strong country is not oppress the weak but it can pushe the back. There is also no wrong and strange culture. It is just different. Discussion of this globalization will continue to lead to continuity and will continue to be studied.
 
Interesting point
In this text, I felt interested in the word ‘McDonaldization’ because There are many other global companies, and why is it that called McDonaldization of phenomenon. McDonald's initially exported own products to other countries. However, McDonald did not succeed because he failed to understand the sentiments and tastes of the country. In order to produce products for various consumer markets, all large and small producers need to apply their products to specific characteristics of the intended consumer groups. So McDonald's studied the country's characteristics, emotions, and tastes for the country, making it palatable to the country, and McDonald's became successful. In Korea, there is an effort to examine the market for Korean beef, including Korean beef burger and kimchi burger, etc. I think this globalization is a great change considering the characteristics and emotions of that country. I think it is a good fusion, not just to insist on what it is that you have created. No one likes a hamburger if they are a vegetarian. They make delicious food palatable to them. Recognizing the effort, I think McDonald's could be a global company. I think McDonald's is the best example of globalization.
 
Discussion point
The most important part of reading this article is religion and culture conflict.. Can we make sure that we can globalize religion and culture?The war broke out after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I think it is inevitable. But after the war ends, I think it is ridiculous to argue that the name of the religion will remain the same after the end of the war. They fight wars and fight against each other, but other citizens in it are suffering without any reason.
Humans have not accepted other opinions about their beliefs, their absolute god.
What you believe is the best and best thing to believe. On the part of that, the bell is the most frightening. We can all have religious freedom. Even if it is true that he believes in the opposite side of the god, I must admit him. Of course, the Bible says that it is not acceptable to admit it and that it leads to his religion. However, now that the world has varied and changed, it is no longer possible to follow the phrase. This is because not only does the two parties fight the dispute, but other vulnerable people suffer. Globalization means the country's culture, system and lifestyle are invading the country. Here we have to think about whether religion can also be included in the topic. Otherwise, good globalization can not exist in the world. We must constantly discuss and study this issue. And we need to come up with solutions.
