summary
It is hard to define globalization, because it is very broad concept. There
are many standpoints. Depend on the view, it can be interpreted in a many way.
This article is trying to introduce many standpoints of the globalization. Author
devided into many parts ; The parameters of the general process, The dimensions,
The form, history and so on. As I understood, in 1990, global movements were
lead by economic sense. Development of a global consciousness is being produced
unfairly, because use of the internet matters in developing country.
Connectivity and
consciousness is the most important part in globalization. However, there is
parameters. As article mentioned about tragedy of 9/11, Muslim terrorism
brought up a conversation topic about globalization.
There are three dimensions
of globalization, which is economy, politic, and culture. In the form of
globalization, Immanuel Wallerstein made a point that world could have become
singular system. So, it is getting harder to find difference between ‘local’
and ‘global.’
To
sum up, globalization is some kind of process of interaction between
connectivity and global consciousness. . When we are talking about
globalization, it is hard to get rid of cultural issues. In that view,
analyzing and critic globalization is inappropriate.
Interesting point
I was interested in anti-globalization. According to the article, western
culture dominate over all the others in 1990s. When I was reading this part, I thought
it is kind of very similar situation in 2017. Although, the number of internet
use dramatically increased, anti-globalization is happening. US is trying to act
as a nationalism and I believe it is encouraging anti-globalization. Recently,
Us made a statement regarding re-negotiating of FTA and it is also interpretated
as a similar context of anti-globalization
discussion point
I would like to discuss about conflict of globalization. Many ideas,
opinion, information, contents containing culture is spreading only through the
internet. I believe internet also can easily make bias, and internet doesn’t stand
for truth reality. If we imagine this kind of situation, and I am certain that
it is going to be discussable topic.
