What is globalization? WANG YAXUAN

  Globalization has broken down various geographical barriers, allowing capital, technology, information, talent and culture to flow and integrate freely across regions around the world. In a classroom at Hanyang University in South Korea, Chinese students are receiving lectures on globalization from an English-speaking professor, taking notes in English, and their classmates come from different countries. This scene may seem like an ordinary class, but it is precisely a microcosm of globalization - the concept of globalization is no longer just an abstract idea confined to textbooks and lecture notes, but a vivid practice where students of different nationalities, languages and cultures blend and coexist. This also precisely interprets the essence of globalization. For each student, the most vivid manifestation of globalization lies in the borderless sharing of educational resources. One does not have to go to an English-speaking country to access an international teaching system. This phenomenon also means that cross-cultural communication can become a part of every moment in daily study and life, from answering questions in class to forming groups with students from different countries and understanding the differences in thinking among them in group discussions, to expressing one's perspective on Chinese culture in English. All these are expanding the cognitive boundaries of each individual.

  This integration is not a one-way "convergence", but a two-way "coexistence". In the classroom, I expounded Chinese thoughts in English, adding Eastern-specific wisdom to the discussion; at the same time, in the sharing of Korean classmates, I deepened my understanding of the commonalities and individualities of the East Asian cultural circle. Globalization is like an invisible net, closely connecting individuals, knowledge and culture that were originally scattered around the world, creating an effect of "1 + 1 > 2". It makes each participant both a cultural disseminator and a learner of diverse civilizations, jointly building a more open, inclusive and vibrant colorful world through cultural collisions and exchanges.

The influence of culture and globalization

I believe that the relationship between culture and globalization is mutually related, with both influencing and restricting each other. The trend of globalization has promoted cultural exchanges and integration among various countries, and has had a profound impact on local cultures. At the same time, the development of globalization is shaped and constrained by cultural differences. Globalization has facilitated communication and interaction among different cultures, accelerating the speed and scope of cultural dissemination. Through media, products, entertainment, and business channels, it spreads all over the world, influencing the development of local cultures. After different cultures merge, new integrated cultural content emerges. This influence has produced two opposite results. The first is cultural homogenization, where local cultures are gradually replaced by global cultures and even disappear. The second is cultural mixture, where local cultures and global cultures blend wi...

The mutual influence between economy and globalization

There is a close and complex relationship between economy and globalization, which mutually influence and promote each other, jointly shaping the current pattern of the world economy.  Advantages: The development of the economy is an important driving force for the process of globalization. With the development of the economy, the trade and investment connections between countries have become increasingly close, and personnel mobility has also become more frequent, thereby promoting the development of globalization. Globalization has reduced trade barriers and promoted the growth of international trade. Enterprises can purchase raw materials and components at lower costs globally and sell their products to broader markets. At the same time, globalization has also promoted cross-border investment, enabling capital to flow freely across the globe and improving the efficiency of resource allocation. Globalization has also promoted technology transfer and knowledge sharing, enabling en...
