Globalization arguably began even before Marco Polo’s expeditions, possibly being traceable to Alexander the Great’s establishment of overland routes between Eastern Europe and India. The assumption that globalization equals Americanization is profoundly arrogant, and is also ignorant of the history, meaning, and implications of globalization. Globalization implies integration and interdependence of the world. Predating the United States of America, globalization nevertheless reached a peak in the 20th century, when a globalized economic, political, and cultural landscape became inevitable and entrenched. While it seemed that McDonald’s, Coca Cola, Shell, and other… Continue Reading...
In Social Problems, Coleman & Kerbo (2009) discuss ways globalization and neoliberalism have impacted global inequalities and disparities. Global inequalities are not caused by singular policies but are tremendously complex, requiring nuanced perspectives and points of view. Economists, sociologists, and scholars frequently debate whether neoliberalism and global capitalism are causing or exacerbating global inequalities, or whether the ideologies and practices of the free market may be used to promote global equality instead. Martin Hart-Landsberg (2006) and Norberg (2004) weigh in on the debate. In “Neoliberalism: Myths and Reality,” Hart-Landsberg (2006) claims that globalization and the neoliberal policies that support… Continue Reading...
Hats and Globalization
The hat stand in South Korea is visible in the picture "global" in a cultural sense because it is reflective of the cultural changes swirling all around the South Korean market. It sits, first of all, in front of a Western bakery shop -- a Dunkin' Donuts -- which is in and of itself an emblem of a foreign culture within the Asian culture of South Korea. The hat stand benefits from the sign hanging over the stand, like a cultural guardian angel, pointing to the hats to show… Continue Reading...
Globalization: Advantages, Disadvantages and Concerns

The development of the World Trade Organization has proved to be a landmark in the move towards globalization. This organization has sought the reduction of trade barriers among its members. This has facilitated both the flow of goods and the flow of capital between nations, two of the major drivers of globalization. This emphasis on freer global trade has contributed to globalization because it has allowed for companies and people in one country to become more dependent on the products and goods from other countries. The reduction of trade barriers has brought about globally integrated supply chains, and has brought about a much greater level of integration… Continue Reading...

Hat Stand and Globalization
The South Korean hat stand has been impacted by globalization over time in multiple ways. First, it has introduced larger corporations like Wal-Mart and Tesco into Asian markets. Second, it has created new demand for global goods and for Western items especially. Thirdly, through digitalization and the rise of the Internet, it has encroached on the meaningfulness of the street stall retailer -- i.e., the hat stand vendor -- and his ability to offer a novel product that cannot be obtained anywhere else.

Global Communication
With the rise of globalization over the past century and the advancements made by communications technology, it is only natural that global communication should become a topic of concern: with so many people of so many cultures and languages coming together, connecting in the virtual space and even working together on virtual teams (Klitmøller, Schneider & Jonsen, 2015), the impact of so much interconnectedness among diverse populations was bound to become an issue. As Masoom, Abdula and Islam (2016) point out, the problem extends beyond the mere agency of language; it goes on to… Continue Reading...
Globalization: From Capitalism to Hypercapitalism—a Decoupling between People and Societies
Globalization is the transition from capitalism to hypercapitalism—the movement from economic order predicated on a division of labor in which the means of production are controlled by the owners of companies and laborers are paid according to an agreed upon sum to an order in which labor is outsourced and offshored to the lowest bidder, which results in a hypercapitalism that ends up cannibalizing itself, as can be seen in places like France today where the “yellow vests” are lashing… Continue Reading...
Globalization has significantly transformed the business environment. Economies around the world have increasingly become interconnected, facilitating greater mobility for individuals and organizations around the globe. Today, organizations can more readily do business in diverse geographic locations. In addition, organizations deal with a more diverse workforce in terms of racial and ethnic background, religious inclination, geographic origin, as well as age, gender, and sexual orientation (U.S. Department of Commerce and Vice President Al Gore's National Partnership for Reinventing Government [NPR], n.d.). This has presented both challenges and opportunities for individual workers.… Continue Reading...

deregulation of the economy. This was an attempt to embrace globalization. Again, the strategy seemed successful at first, but this time it didn’t even last for 5 years. In 1998 the Asian financial crisis renewed doubts and the economy became stagnant for two years. By 2000, the country had recovered from a currency crisis, but was far from being able to have a stable and prosperous economy.
