W6. Cultural Globalization / Jo Sungbin

1. Summary

This article is about cultural globalization. Globalization is the process of a network of networks linking the world to one another, focusing on economic, political, environmental changes and cultural development in the context of modern life. Globalization is also an important factor in the economic domain of the global capitalism market. We must resist the dominance of capitalism in the process of globalization for two reasons. First, we do not deal with direct empirical judgment on pursuing everything else. Second, globalization affects our understanding of culture and culture in any way, as globalization is influenced by culture, such as globalization, or cultural consequences of globalization.Culture is generally a major form of behavior or symbolic system of a society. One of the reasons why globalization talks about the effects of globalization on culture is that it is easy to understand as global market processes. Clifford Geertz says that culture can be a cause of social events, not power. He says that he makes sense in our lives by influencing cultures and choices individually and collectively. In order to borrow the words of Anthony Giddens, cultural globalization involves increasing the ' reflection ' of modern life.

One of the common guesses about the globalization process is that it will lead to a single global culture. The reason why this is possible is that, in particular, the integration of a tightly integrated system in the global marketplace provides a unified view of the connectivity of the world in which the world's tightly integrated systems provide a model. And in fact, some aspects of the world have this unified uniformity. In the past, it was possible to understand the social and economic processes as a regional and relatively independent phenomenon, but globalization made the world a single place in many ways. However, global connectivity does not necessarily mean that the world is economically and politically unified. For example, it is easy to say that the world's economic system has a big impact on the fate of African countries, but it is not a single unitary part of the economic prosperity of Africa, and the unification of society and technological advancement. In other words, globalization is not completely global. We may be afraid that brands such as Disney, Coca-Cola, Marlboro, Microsoft, Google, McDonald`s, CNN, and Starbucks will dominate the world's third-color third world culture. But the important thing is not to mix simple cultural products with culture itself. The article looked at globalization in historical context through the early stages of the world's first European map, Ebstorf MappI MundI and Karl Marx, in 1284, before modernization. However, they all speculated ' the world ' as the ' world ' as the core characteristic of Western culture. To operate a cosmopolitanism in a way that does not impose a particular thing, a culturally refracted model will be the most direct cultural challenge facing globalization.

We can also gain access to cultural globalization through globalization as well as globalization. Deterritorialization works in the opposite way by understanding the effects of globalization in certain areas.Globalization is rapidly changing our experience of ' locality '. One way to identify this change is ' Deterritorialization '.Newcastle Canclini Canclini defined the concept of Deterritorialization as a lost cause of cultural and social geography for geographical and social territory. With Deterritoriation, culture no longer tied to the constraints of local situations. In the long run, cultural experiences between cultural experiences and geographical boundaries will prove to be a widespread effect of cultural globalization. Deterritorialization does not simply lose the experience of regional culture. The difference made by Deterritorialization is that the culture produced by the region is no longer the single most important factor in the real world. We can feel ' Deterritorialization ' by passing through the grocery store in the supermarket or by visiting various countries through online culture. Through these changes, globalization was deeply interlinked with our individual cultural ‘ world ’. What we call the ‘ telemediatization ’ is an important distinction in life in the 21st century, which is described as a new form of ‘ virtual migration ’, which is described as a new form of ‘ shift of virtual ’, which helps define what exists in modern societies by using media and communication technologies.

'Cultural identity' is a regulated, institutionalized, and socially regulated aspect of modern life. The categories of cultural identities consist of definitions such as gender, gender, class, religion, race, ethnicity, and nationality. One of the interesting interpretations of globalization is that many people think that globalization is the most important factor in creating and evergetting cultural identity. Others also consider globalization as a threat to cultural identity. The author tries to relate the idea of identity to the issue of cosmopolitanism. " Mankind " is in a position to harmonize with cultural diversity in a particular range. ' Human rights ' can be used to argue for equality of medical and education. It can also be used to defend cultural differences. Thus, ' Human rights ' can only be disputed. Thus, human underclassions can arise in situations where the context of a particular community can be considered rational and repressive rather than in its context. The universality can be operated in one way or another by understanding the human condition in the world order and communicating with others. Finally, the author says that we urgently need a much more agile and flexible cultural concept than we have.

2. What was interesting?

Before reading this article, I thought that globalization of culture would make the whole world a westernization. I thought that a nation based on gigantic capital would erode all parts of politics, economy and so on, starting with culture and developing countries without capital, like the country of origin. However, through the example of this article, I became aware of the concept of cultural oppositional resilience and could solve the previous anxiety. It was also very good because I was able to study an interesting and interrelated concept called Globalization, Deterritorialization, and Telemediatized. If we have a chance, I would like to study more about these concepts.

3. Discussion Point

In the case of the Middle East, historical and religious values have been confronted with Western countries, so they have resisted deeper cultural values of the West while consuming their culture. However, in most of Africa and Southeast Asia, it is not always the case for developing countries. So there is still the fear that in those cases, a new form of colonization will be possible due to the globalization that is led by countries on the basis of huge capital and strong international influence. I would like to discuss this with students. And I want the professor's additional answer about this question.
