is a staple item of clothing in millions of wardrobes. Due to the dispensability of current fashion, the plain white t-shirt is created in the masses and is sold at almost every clothing vendor. Modern fashion encourages expendability through globalization; By producing clothing in such dense numbers at a considerably fast pace, this encourages people to purchase more, thus contributing to the cycle. Innately linked with the disposable nature of fashion is Erving Goffman’s presentation of self,…

Globalization, collaboration, is necessary for sustaining the life of all species. Tsing says, “Precarity is a state of acknowledgment of our vulnerability to others” (29). Anti-globalization, indigeneity without contact, is impossible because Homo economicus is always scoping for a new frontier. If we don’t collaborate with each other - which is to say if we don’t contaminate our lives by intermingling with those humans and other species which we see as radically different from us – then we are…

Friedman’s new book he explained there are three different types of globalization eras. According to the textbook, globalization occurs when there is interaction across borders for business purposes and usually trade barriers are eliminated. The first era is titled Globalization 1.0 which began in 1492, when Christopher Columbus set sail in search of the new world, and lasted until the early 1800’s. It was during this era that globalization was initiated by the countries themselves in order to…

Economic globalization refers to the process that world economies are becoming increasingly interdependent. It is widely believed that the first real historical phase of economic globalization started in the 19th century. As a turning point in this process, the Industrial Revolution brought the innovations in the transportation (i.e. railroads and ships) and the communication (i.e. underwater transatlantic cable), which facilitated the movements of people and goods. At the same time, the…

people’s beliefs. People can carry their own beliefs/culture to anywhere in the world. Studies have shown that when people migrate to another country, that the majority of people keep their cultural traditions to help preserve their culture. (Globalization).

It is actually a common occurrence for people to increase their cultural traditions as it keeps them from becoming home…

The deficiencies of Russia’s state capitalist model Pundits have often pointed at Gazprom’s urgency to conduct essential reforms in order to sustain its competitive advantage, particularly because of rising competition in the area of shale gas, its depleting gas reserves and Europe’s growing desire to establish a competitive and integrated European gas market, thus attempting to reduce its weighty dependency on Russian gas (Locatelli, 2014:57). Moreover, the Kremlin’s support of Gazprom makes…

Cultural politics are conflicts that ensue from meaning, morals and values instead of actual public policies (Back et al. 2012). It has the ability to give authority, strength, and influence to political figures and those in power, over cultural matters such as funding programs that impact both individuals and communities as well as having the power to force rituals and ideals onto others. An example of how cultural politics, power and influence impacts the public sphere, as we discussed in our…

Teaching in the 21st Century is nothing like anyone before could have anticipated. The modern-day teacher cannot afford to think outside of the box; he or she must build a new one. The skills necessary for the 21st Century leader are clear; the leader must be aware of his or her followers’ needs, while raising the motivation and morality of both parties. In order for this to occur, a transformational approach is suggested (Northouse 2013). The contemporary leader must encourage others to…

Culture is rooted deep into America. American values and society can all be attributed to capitalism and to culture. Capitalism has, in its short lifetime, captivated and controlled societal interests in America. It is not merely enough to say that capitalism has not only become our only economic system, but it is something that has become so abstract and undefinable. In today’s modern society, people no longer think about capitalism or market interactions. All they think about are the goods and…
