W6. Cultural Globalization/ Kim Jae woong

Summarize

 

  The writer begins by defining globalization as a "complex process" because it is related to the sudden social changes that occur simultaneously in various aspects in the world economy, politics, communication, physical environment and culture. Transformation interacts with others. "But after realizing the complexity of the process, the writer is actually talking about a process that" speeds up the connection. "So the writer is actually feeling globalization. It is simply a process of describing the interconnectivity of the network and the implications of this interconnectivity. This is somewhat abstract and flexible, but after sketching on globalization, the artist turns into a question about culture as if all of us are seen as a global culture.

  The artist also sees a culture of increasing mutuality in various fields. The most notable is the world capitalist economic market. But as most theorists and writers on the subject pointed out, globalization is an 'uneven process' that appears differently in different places and times for different reasons. In this sense, globalization is clearly global. But the desire for some form of cultural universalism in the West is as powerful as seeing globalization as a unified movement towards a world culture. To illustrate how global imagination has long been part of a particular culture, the artist tracks three examples of cultural universalism. It is GLOBAL CULTURE, DETERTRITORIALIZATION, COSMOPOLITANISM AND CULTURAL IDENTITY. After explaining this, the writer repeatedly stressed that we should have a much more nimble and precise cultural concept than we have ever had and knew

 

Interesting point

 

  The author also said here that the media is a tremendous help in bringing about cultural globalization. I think so too. I do not feel that there is a relatively limited space constraint, only the time difference between the person and the person who is talking to a friend who is in the other country. I have lived in China since I was a child. Of course, the time difference between Korea and China is only an hour apart and the distance is not far away, but I always feel like I'm in next door when I talk to my friends in Korea and I have never followed or lagged behind their new culture . Let’s look farther, the current Korean Wave is getting popular.

  Initially, it started from Asia, but it is increasingly spreading to Europe as America gradually becomes a platform of media, too. In Korea, pop-up stores and hip-hop are also popular in Western culture. I think that it is a problem that their culture comes in perfect, but I think that it is not a problem if the form comes in and it is clothed with the emotion of each country. In addition, Marshall McLuhan, the originator of the media system, once said that 'the media is a message'.

  Although the content of the message itself is important, the content of the same message varies depending on which media is used. Culture also contains messages. It contains the thoughts, plays, concepts, etc. of the people who lived in those days. Whether or not it is a culture that people from other countries understand. Therefore, I do not want to distort or exaggerate when I try to introduce or propagate culture through media. (Media that is not a socially culturally or common sense culture.) There will certainly be shortcomings or distorted parts. People who are willing to accept cultures from other countries will certainly recognize this and look forward to partial acceptance through filtration.

 

Discussion point

 

  The writer briefly talked about cultural imperialism . I try to look at this. Cultural imperialism is the view that the issue of domination and subordination between developed and capitalist countries with wealth and power and underpowered countries is also applied to culture. It is entirely up to the capitalist state to create and develop the demand and consumption of the culture of the underdeveloped nation. In this process, the unique cultures of underdeveloped countries are dominated, deprived, replaced, and challenged by the culture of foreign culture and the dominant nation.

Today 's capitalist culture is gradually getting rid of the culture of underdeveloped countries under the name of cultural industry. I think that this is different than a bar once World War II ended samneun the drug giant colonial powers. At that time, major powers are forced to drop've used them for their resources and manpower to continue to accumulate wealth of their countries to war and stability in their country. There is now a physical force and coercion, but it is trying to keep the culture of powers by injecting their culture and destroy their culture just does not like thinking that in order to permanently consumed by their cultures. There is no culture is not important whether it is a cultural matter what ever way is a valuable way of life to live so far they lived. I think that the world needs common legal empire and cultural institutional apparatus to resolve it.
