What Is Globalization?

1. Summary

Globalization is hard to defined as just one phenomenon. There are a lot of subordinated concept under this big global phenomenon. So it could be hard to define 'What is Globalization?' within simply one sentence. And it is other scholar speakers' opinion as well. Then how can we figure out globalization has been spread so far?
 To know about that, many people had used political scientists, international relations specialists and economists as the defining feature of globalization. The reason why people use these features is the facts that many people had been talking that there are three major dimensions of such: the economic, the political, the cultural and human life-namely. But these things are not perfect to predict or see exactly what globalization is or where it is going to go on. It is true global movement is moved by many factors. but we can not say which factors have more power to move it.
 Then what shape it has? The author thinks it is hard to make it as one form or fixed notion. Because globalization is very changeable. Globalization should not be defined simply.
