GLOBALIZATION
Globalization is the world-wide process by which different societies, culture sand regional economies integrate through a worldwide network of political ideas through, communication transportation and trade. Mostly globalization has affected many countries in different ways Like Economically, politically, and socially. Globalization refers to the fast integration and interdepends of various nations, which shapes the world affairs on global level.

Opportunities of Globalization The globalization process is in fact one of the global integration in all areas which offers less developed nations

However, these opportunities are the reason for many potential risks and challenges. In globalization on the one hand, economic alliance, regionalization and globalization attract all nations into economic communication regionally or globally, providing smaller nations with chances to develop and increase economic relations. On the other hand, there are many risks involved in this process. Firstly poor countries and poor people may become gradually impoverished due to losses brought upon them by the rules executed by big nations. At the same time, if poor and less-developed countries, they cannot rapidly develop an economic institution comparable to regional and global economic institutions, or if they do not have a actual ability to compete and integrate, they may become mere suppliers of raw materials, consumers of products mass-produced by developed countries, or even of products forbidden from manufacture nations, namely, obsolete, prohibited or pollution-causing technology from developed countries under the guise of technology assistance or technology transfer. To the less developed countries, this would be amount to replacing one dependence with another and failing to gain the profits of …show more content…
However, obligation of information, rules and values by some nations upon others is a reality today because of the large gap in mass media capabilities. The major challenge in this area is for a nation to integrate and acquire the best values of other nations to enrich its own, without losing its cultural character and national identity. This is considered the supreme challenge, because if a nation loses its cultural character or becomes culturally integrated, it loses everything and will never be able to recover that. Of all kinds of invasion, cultural invasion is the most challenging to recognize. It is the subtlest and the most risky. In addition, there is a characteristic threat to the world that an international struggle might arise because a nations is threatened by cultural invasion and attempts to defend its cultural
Correspondingly, this has also occurred in quite a few other cultures, including the Irish, as mentioned before, and a more commonly known example which is the disapproval and genocide of the Native American people and their cultural. These examples show just how in depth the effect of cultural can threaten

Introduction: We as a society face many issues. Due to our diversity as a country, the values and beliefs of one culture battle against another. II. We must address the current standing issues that we face, but before we can do that, we must understand them.
One's culture and how they view the world is dictated by the power of media which outweighs any other aspects of one's life and controls
Globalization is a many-faceted process which has benefits and repercussions in many areas. It has led to great developments through exchanges of ideas and technologies and has also caused deep conflicts within and among nations in different ways. While often conflicts arise economically, politically, or in the realm of intellectual rights, these are easier to understand and resolve than the varied and nuanced conflicts that arise between Globalization and Culture. Due to a long history of such conflicts, sometimes groups or governments take it upon themselves to initiate preventative measures in order to reduce the risk of damage or loss of cultural identity. One specific example of this preventative action began almost 100 years ago as Canada started issuing a tax on foreign produced magazines in the
One should protect their culture vehemently. It’s part of our personal and social binding fabrics built off our values and norms. If we do not protect our cultures from outside or internal attacks we risk losing our identities to what we believe and who we project we are. We share common norms and values with other cultures beginning the development of the bonds of trust.
The second question determine if the moral values of the nation could be harmonized with the reality of its international objectives. Although at the beginning of the 19th century there were some academic exchanges supported by the government, it was at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th when the use of culture as an instrument of foreign policy
• What is Globalization? Globalization is the incorporation of economic, cultural, social, and political aspects of societies from around the world. It is the elimination of barriers to support a global spread of ideas, values and beliefs as well as consumer goods. • Identify and explain at least five different characteristics of Globalization. INTEGRATION –
I. INTRODUCTION a. BACKGROUND: Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different countries, a procedure compelled by international trade and investment, and supported by information technology. Furthermore, this process has an effect on various other systems such as on the environment, culture, political systems, economic development and prosperity and lastly, on human physical well-being in societies around the world. “Since 1950, for example, the volume of world trade has increased by 20 times, and from just 1997 to 1999 flows of foreign investment nearly doubled, from $468 billion to $827 billion” (York, 2016). Technology has been another primary driver of globalization,
Modernization will be a powerful tool to build the socio-economic, political and military power of non-Western civilizations, but the instruments of modernization should be used toward peaceful and multicultural aims. Achieving these aims will benefit the citizens of the world and avoid a cultural clash of
Globalization and Nation States Globalization has integrated and intertwined the economies of the world. In the world today, every nation has become independent on every other nation, be it through trade or through finance. Developing countries today are attracting large rounds of foreign investment, and this foreign investment is coming from the developed countries. Thus, the money of the developed countries is today invested in the developing countries.
As established in the previous paper, globalization has a major impact on the individuals and society as a whole. It reshapes social structures and significantly alters the social experiences of the people. Social phenomena such as intersocietal as well as intrasocietal inequality and conflict are associated with the increased connectivity of the world. Such social realities spark the interest of sociologists across the globe, as they study the relationship between individuals and societies. To facilitate their endeavors, sociologists utilize sociological theories that study society on the micro- and macro level.
He further elaborates that the increasing interaction between seven or eight civilizations and their basic differences will be the reasons of clash. The increasing interaction intensifies civilization consciousness and awareness of differences between civilizations and commonalities within civilizations resulting the widening differences between civilizations and alliance within civilization (Huntington 23). He also adds, the revival of religion for fulfilling the gap of weakened nation state identity by the process of economic modernization and social change will also play the role. Furthermore, a west in the peak of its power confronts non-west that increasingly have the desire, the will and the resources to shape the world in non-western ways through Asianization, Hinduization and re-Islamization (Huntington 26). Huntington further explains, cultural characterises and differences are less mutable and hence less easily compromised and resolved than political and economic ones.
The aim of this assessment is to reflect on what I have learned this semester regarding the module of Business in Global Context; from the lectures with the professor, the case studies done in class and the three previous patchworks that we worked on. We have learned that there are different internal and external components that affect the business environment, from corporate social responsibility to cultural and institutional framework; organizations must take into consideration all the factors related to the different parts of its environment. For the topic discussion, I will be discussing globalization and how it has affected the global business environment along with the key aspects and the different point of views regarding it.
I believe that globalisation has changed the nature and scope of cultural and economic power more than it has the nature and scope of political power. Lukes defines power as having “three faces” – decision-making power, nondecision-making power and idealogical power over political agendas, and that if one party has power over another, they are able to influence that party to do something they would otherwise not do (Lukes, 2004.) Scholte defines globalisation as internationalization (a “growth of transactions and interdependence between countries”), liberalization (“a process of removing officially imposed restrictions on movements of resources between countries in order to form an ‘open’ and ‘borderless’ world economy”), universalization
