Reflecting

Reflecting upon this week’s videos regarding cultural and economic globalization, are a

homogeneous global

 

culture and economy

 

desirable? Yes, it is

 

making everyone richer and a

few

 

people incredibly

 

wealthy.

 

 

But … What’s the downside of globalization as you see it? The upside? Which is stronger, the

downside or the upside?

 

 

Don’t the Internet and cheap travel make

 

a homogeneous global culture

 

and economy too

tempting, if not inevitable? We already have

a homogeneous

 

global technology, the Internet. It

is disrupting industries, governments, and personal lives. It is enabling a

 

homogeneous

 

global

pop culture, especially music, movies, and social media like Tic

–

Toc.

 

 

In the US, 50

 

states unite into one cultur

e and economy. That process happened long ago to

create today’s India, Russia, and China. The European Union is Europe’s attempt to similarly

unite. English and Mandarin (Chinese) are becoming the world languages. Eventually, won’t

 

all

cultures unite cultu

rally and economically?

 

 

For this assignment, take a position on globalization, or one aspect of it, and develop your ideas

in about one page.
