Thoughts and Reflections: Globalization - A Very Short Introduction
Globalization is when technology and communication expand so rapidly that people become less a part of an individual culture and become part of the global culture. The definitions in the reading show that there is two main things happening, there is a huge loss of "time and space" meaning information can be spread instantaneously and culture is almost lost. It also shows the opposite of globalization where the backlash and return to the "old ways" is seen, however they are also contradictory as globalization is the way the terrorist groups are able to stay so equipped with weapons as well as the Bin-Laden and ISIS tapes. Globalization has to take place over many centuries because globalization happens in uneven ways, like economic and religeous ways. However technology also has a major role to play in globalization. The more technology the faster people become connected.
