Summary: In the modern world it is very important to understand the terms “globalization” and “culture”. Globalization is a process which involves changes in the natural human life. In other words we may call it as changes in the culture of that particular human being or any other particular group. Culture of a group or particular person mainly tells about the life of people or person, living traditions, historical values, religious matters in that particular social system. So we could say culture is a subsystem with in a lager social system. Now a days every modern critic usually thinks about the globalization and effect of globalization on culture. Does it having positive effect on the culture or does it having negative effect on culture. So it is very important to understand what is global culture? and how it is effecting social life, political life etc. For seeing how the world globalized here we compared three different eras and observed the effect of globalization on culture. Globalization is nothing but interaction, integration exchanging of views and other aspects of culture. It is very important to spread any matter from one part to the other part. If you observe the modern world we could easily say it is modernized or in other words globalized. Globalization is helping us to see different cultures, social activities and cultural division around us. Author discussed three different examples from different periods from twelfth century to current twenty first century to show how globalization showing effects on the culture. In the first example i.e. Ebstorf Mappa Mundi author giving an example of views of particular culture on birth and their belief on God’s creation on mankind. Every culture in the ... ... middle of paper ... ...evelop. But the original impact of globalization is shows on culture in some particular aspects. So every place different from other place in terms of culture and habitats. So it is very important for every culture or ethnic group to adjust. In my views globalization is very beneficial as long as it is not harming the main culture activities. Bibliography: 1. J. Tomlinson 1999: Globalization and culture. 2.

Cultural globalization involves the “spread of culture beyond the region or state from which it originated.” (Davies 1). To understand what cultural globalization is, one must understand what falls under the category of culture, which includes religion, language,
Globalization is nothing new and will continue to manifest itself in non-western societies and cultures throughout the world. Some cultures accept the changes that come with globalization. Most cultures bring and find both economic and cultural growth to be the outcome of accepting globalization. However, there is always the risk that globalization comes with the possibility of destroying rituals and unique cultural practices bringing about a decline or stoppage in the progress that a society was achieving. Globalization is an unstoppable force; while we are powerless to stop it, we must be responsible when introducing change, and strive to preserve the heart of the culture being effected by globalization.

In Haiti, the family is the most important aspect of their culture. When making important decisions, especially involving the health of a family member, the family is consulted. Family is so important to the culture that everything a person does is reflected onto the family. Everyone represents the family they are in. Because of this, every Haitian family has a reputation which can affect its status and respect in society. Families are so close to one another that it is mandatory to visit a sick member, even if they live far away. In a healthcare context, this can lead to a large number of visitors.20
According to Cox & Blake (1991), developing an organizational culture that values cultural diversity in the workplace is one of the spheres of activity in the management of cultural diversity (p.46). As part of a valuing diversity approach, organizational leaders should ensure that the organization is flexible enough to accommodate employees from different cultural backgrounds. The process of developing an organizational culture that values cultural diversity includes valuing cultural differences, promoting cultural inclusion, and treating cultural differences as prevailing value systems.
Diversity is a concept that I believe most people do not have the correct knowledge of nor do they understand what it truly means. Being able to help educate others about diversity would mean the world to me, therefore it’s important for me to understand diversity. In order to understand diversity it’s especially crucial to have an open mind so that one can truly understand. I have traveled to Ecuador, worked with Me to We, taken diversity focused classes, participated in the 2015 Global Youth Summit, as well as created an awareness presentation with fellow students to further my understanding and knowledge of diversity.
Globalization is the action of all nations to interact on a global scale to better the undeveloped countries and to lessen the risk of of one nation to attack another because of their need for a vital product such as oil, minerals, food and especially land. By sharing the wealth of one country with the needs of another country, they develop and obtain higher standard of living that can be reciprocated to the wealthy country in the form of a finished product or a natural resource. Globalization has been a very good thing for America and will continue to do so, when America eliminates unwanted and nonproductive illegal immigrants.with this continued influx of people are resources are at a breaking point.
Globalization is the worldwide movement, which contains economic, financial, trade and communications integration. Meanwhile, globalization is a process of interaction among the people, companies, governments and different nations. Moreover, this process is driven by the international trade, investments and the development of technology. Then, the process would be effect on the economy, environment and culture as well. In this portfolio, cultural impact of globalization will be discussed.
The biggest Concern regarding culture is that globalization contributes to the loss of culture. As western culture is imposed on the rest of the world there is less diversity and we become more homogeneous, meaning be become more like one big culture. Take any of the big companies for example, Apple, McDonalds, or Starbucks you can find then in an increasing number of countries. This homogeneous culture though does not have to be a terrible thing furthermore, Mark Pagel argues that is a valuable thing. According to Pagel globalization helps culture because “it increases our sense of togetherness via the sense of a shared culture. In fact, breaking down of cultural barriers – unfashionable as this can sound – is probably one of the few things that societies can do to increase harmony among ever more heterogeneous peoples.” Palgel is right, we like know we have a connection to other people, we like knowing that the things we enjoy and the things they enjoy are the same. A few years ago, I went on a mission trip to Peru and as scary as it was to be outside of the country with only the support of my fellow peers- who were also quite nervous about the endeavor- it was comforting to see familiar restaurants like KFC, McDonalds, Starbucks and Papa Johns. Even some of the school children we met were familiar with the same social medias like Facebook, and Instagram. I recall sing
Another negative effect is the merging and interaction between cultures. When those cultures become globalized, their chances of facing loss of tradition and culture will be extremely high. The ones that are most likely to b...
In conclusion I found out that Globalization effects what we eat and what clothes we wear , also globalization means the way companies, ideas and lifestyles are spreading around the
Human culture is a very diverse element of humanity. It has a variety of different building blocks that create the full meaning of the term. It involves aspects such as food, customs, music, language, and art. Similar patterns of culture form groups of people with common beliefs and lifestyles known as societies or communities. Culture can vary based on location of the society and the history of how the culture arose. Culture is constantly changing in so many ways and controversy arises between these societies with different views. In Barbara Gallatin Anderson’s book, Around the World in 30 Years, and several of the case studies the class has discussed this year, these diverse cultures were closely analyzed and the problems that arose from
I have mixed opinions about globalization as a whole. I think for the economies of most countries it can be beneficial as it will help develop non-developed countries. Globalization has the potential to make the world a better place to live and solve some very long standing problems like unemployment and poverty, which will have a positive impact in the future. Other than having one world government, which I think would have a negative impact in the future, I think globalization will have a positive impact in the future, if it will increase wealth, decrease poverty and allows cultures to blend without each country losing their own cultures.
Culture has a power to overcome boundaries and even conquer distances by migrating and interfering in foreign cultures, and doing so it can lead to homogenization- where this main characteristic unifies culture making it global and model for everyone. First, as a definition, globalization implies deep and fast interconnection with global countries all around the world, and technological changes made that interconnection possible and created more support for a homogenizing
As Tomlinson mentioned in his article, Globalization and Culture Identity, who we are as a society changes when we travel, speak to different people, experience new things and interact with other societies outside of our own. This concept translates to globalization’s effect on culture as well. Through
The definition of globalization is, “Globalization is the connection of different parts of the world. Globalization results in the expansion of international cultural, economic, and political activities. As people, ideas, knowledge, and goods move more easily around the globe, the experiences of people around the world become more
