Nowadays, we are always able to communicate
with people around the world with the internet and SNS(Social Network Service).
We can also buy goods directly from foreign sites and get that stuff at home. This
is because we are living in the age of globalization. But the meaning of
globalization is not simple like that. The meaning of globalization is much
more complex and difficult. So far, I simply thought that
globalization is to be able to communicate with people around the world. But after
reading 'What Is Globalization?', my thought was changed. The true significance
of globalization cannot be defined in a word.
In 'What Is Globalization?',
Velho saw globalization as perspective of one which view the world. According
to Velho, globalization is moving together. Globalization started from economic,
it is gradually expanding the area to politics, society, and culture. Globalization
brought significant meaning at economic life of each nation.
If globalization
means that the world unite, and it is possible to constitute a whole by a group
with a strong force, would not intentionally used the globalization? For example, in the past it was ideology or conquest, in the present it
seems capital or information. In the risk of negative globalization, how should we look at the globalization?
We can no longer sit and watch globalization leads to inequality. What we should do is to bring awareness of negative effets and make efforts to handle it.
