Cultural Globalization

1. Summary

Globalization is a multidimensional process, taking place simultaneously within the spheres of the economy, of politics, of technological developments-particularly media and communications technologies-of environmental change and of culture. One simple way of defining globalization, without giving precedence or causal primacy to any one of these dimensions, is to say that it is a complex, accelerating, integrating process of global connectivity.  People must resist the temptation to attribute it with causal primacy in the globalization process. First, because we are not dealing with straightforward empirical judgments about what specific practices drive everything else, but also with questions of the constitution of analytical categories. The second reason is that it distorts our understanding of the sphere of culture.

As Cultural Globalization is spread, the globalization process is that it will lead to a single global culture. However, increasing global connectivity by no means necessarily implies that the world is becoming, in the widest sense, either economically or politically ‘unified’. Despite all this, there persists, at least among some Western critics, a tendency to imagine globalization pushing us towards an all-encompassing ‘global culture’. Globally marketed formulaic Hollywood movies, Western popular music genres and television formats appear to many as what the filmmaker Bernado Bertolucci once referred to as ‘a kind of totalitarianism of culture’.

A different way of approaching these issues is to view contemporary globalization in the context of a much longer historical context in which societies and cultures have imagined the world as a single place, with their own culture at the centre of it.

It is interesting to describe the globalization in a number of ways. Childhood, I think that globalization can only be described as cultural but an adult now, that globalization is described more in economic terms. Particularly in today's highly globalized, the economic governance invisible system exists between the great powers and weak. This results in a deepening global inequalities.

As a result of globalization, what do inflows of foreign capital affect the economy of each country? Does each country have mutual aid? Or Does the deepening inequalities?
