Analysis Of Globalization By David Held

Improved Essays
In the article “Globalization” by David Held, he stated that “Through radio, film, television and the internet, people everywhere are exposed to the values of other cultures as never before. (486)”. People are more exposed to the value of other culture through technology. Now a days we can watch a news of other countries through television. Even though we all speak different languages, but it couldn’t stop the flow of ideas and culture. People living in America can watch an Indian movie with English subtitle and they would be able understand their culture and their values. The only way this is possible is through the technology He also stated that “Almost all countries have some inward foreign direct investment and compete intensely for more.

    In the contemporary sense, social globalization is defined as being the increasing interconnectedness around the world, in both societies and economy. The way that nations interact is through modems such as media and technology, which allow for easy access to knowledge and interpersonal communication. This is strongly associated with identity, in that individuals in separate societies are able to share religion, beliefs, and culture with the rest of the world. The source is a strong proponent of social globalization, stating that “The global opportunities...far outweigh the global challenges,” which implies that the source is likely a hyper-globalist and would dismiss any negative aspects of social globalization by arguing that the opportunities…

    In the last few decades, globalization has increased at an exponential level. This has resulted in worldwide economical, social, political, and cultural integration, largely due to the advancements in technology made within the past few decades. Globalization has affected human lives in both positive and negative manners, but regardless of its contrasting effects, it has been a major positive contributor to economies worldwide. In America, the effects of globalization are seen through the economic growth and system of trade that allows many products to be made in other countries but sold in America. At the time, America was coming out of an economic depression that nearly destroyed the economy and left American consumers with little spending…

Then it became if one did not know how to type or word process. The standards for literacy only rose according to the technological innovations of society; from lead pencils to type writers to (electronic) tablets.

    American problem When we think of America, the images of Times Square, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, clean city, beautiful campus of Harvard or other fancy university comes into our mind. In some extreme cases we think of Macy’s or Victoria’s Secret’s showrooms, but we never think of wars, terrorism, military attacks, drug abuse, over throwing governments at first. We have some positive pictures of The United States in our mind, because we mostly see positive things about America in news and media. That optimistic picture is making us blind to the reality. We are immune to the distractions created by America, because of its influence and dominant media industry.…

    As Ghemawat talks about globalization he briefly mentions technology (Facebook) in his argument. Which made me realize that technology and social media gives us the idea that we can reach or connect to any part of the world at any time, which allows us to believe that we do not have any defined borders, that can stop us from being globalized. But I think that technology is just a small part of globalization. To be able to reach a higher potential, it is important for people to learn, experience, and understand different governments, economies, political issues, traditions, cultures, languages, and historical events that surrounds the world everyday. If not only adults, but also children have a general understanding and education on geography, it could allow people to be more open minded about different events that happen in the world, it could also open many doors for them globally, which can benefit their personal life, career or future…

    Globalization is giving more and more people access to things like the internet so they can stay connected. The media keeps adolescents from other cultures grounded to each other because media can be translated. The adolescents may have grew up in a traditional culture, but have been exposed to Western media so they may combine a traditional song with a Western one like Bollywood. The older children have more freedom to explore the internet because they are less guarded by their parents than the younger children are. The effects of globalization have messed with the gender roles of arranged marriages and chastity among woman in some cultures.…

    Cultural Globalisation is influenced by the distribution of products and ideas that reflect a standardisation of cultural expressions through out the world. Propelled by the efficient of popular culture and international travel, globalisation has become a massive trend towards homogeneity that will make experiences the same everywhere. Major causes for globalisation are improved transport that makes global travel easier and improved technology that makes global communications easier. In 1946, it would have cost a person $12 to make an overseas phone call, now days, it can cost as little as 48 cents. It is the availability of cheap yet reliable communications that help with globalisation and the international market.…

    Before 1980’s, globalization was not commonly existed because technology and transportation had not advanced to stimulate people to have cultural exchanges.

    According to Campbell, MacKinnon & Stevens (2010), technology and various forms of electronic communication have broken communication barriers, compressing both time and space. Global citizens are now capable of instantaneous global communication through handheld electronic devices and computer technology. The advent of globalization has both helped and hindered society. In an effort to better understand the effects of globalization, scholars approach the study of globalization from both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches (Cummings, et al., 2010).…

    Throughout history, almost every aspect of human culture has evolved. Religions have shifted and split into different forms of belief, entire systems of government have changed and new codes of ethic have deliberately been adopted. We can look at the history of the world to see that most changes have not been meaningless but a natural component of progress. In the present, globalization is often justified by its importance in the global economy. Jeffrey A. Frankel, a professor at Harvard says that the benefits of globalization “come from a number of sources” such as “greater market size … enhanced competition [and] … technological improvements through increased contact with foreigners.”…

    The study of comparative politics is concentrated on state institutions, their interactions on an internal level, and externally, with neighboring states and the rest of the world. The key elements of a state institution, its legitimacy, autonomy, capacity and degree of centralization, are carefully studied in order to classify the state as either weak or strong. These elements are first and foremost internal, as they define the state’s ability to hold power over a specific geographic region and the people residing there. Globalization challenges the study of states in comparative politics, as it continues to expand the hypothetical mind of a state institution and the powers which comprise it, letting its behavior to be affected by international…

    Therefore, the concept of oneness has lost. The second is the corruption and fraud from which no one has immunity. Moreover, the other side of the coin is the over-powering of information and its abuse by nations that are masters and the rest would be slaves. Thus this would results in imbalance of access to natural and human resources, global-economy and will results in fragile Eco-system. Therefore, the modern communicative technology does not truly promote a cohesive Global Village concept in its true essence as was perceived by those in favor.…
