Globalization And Its Impact On American Culture

Globalization is very synonym to us since the past few years. It can be defined as process by which regional economies, societies and cultures have become integrated through a global network of communication, transportation and trade. Globalization also has made a vast change in every angle of humans life and one of it is, our cultural tradition could be affected due to globalization process. Culture is what people eat, how they dress , beliefs they hold and activities they practice. Globalization has joined different cultures and made it into something different. There are three things that could be affected: Food culture, traditional attire and traditional performing arts.

The same goes for trading our current trade laws restrict us from reaching our full potential. U.S. trade as a percentage of GDP is lower than that of every other developed country in the world. As the forces of globalization have reshaped the global economy, there has been increasing resistance to trade liberalization

Globalization is an extremely relevant concept in regards to the current shape of the world. Through globalization, ideas are shared across cultures leading to innovations in several departments. I would like to give an overall view and perspective of the impact of globalization on the United States from a macro look at how globalization is now shaping America. Likewise, I will discuss in more detail how globalization has impacted the United States as it relates to technology, trade, transportation, and environmental pollution. Lastly, I will explain the impact of globalization on the United States as to how it relates to these forces on domestic companies, workers, indigenous cultures, and other demographic groups within the country.

The widespread image of American culture is seen to hold a strong base for globalisation. The extensive connectivity of the modern world, confirms Marshal McLuhans prediction of the global village. Globalisation is commonly seen as western culture imputing international cultures. Internet and television have also created transnational media whereas globalisation is commonly seen as a flow of information impending of western culture. Whereas, how will the younger generation will not be able to enjoy immerging products like Apple, Krispy Kreme and Hip-Hop. Hence, the strength globalisation has on the developing world. However, this develops a dispute between globalisation and its effect on international cultures. Early mass media impact on

Brinkerhoff, Weitz, and Ortega (2014) define globalization of culture as “the process through which cultural elements (including musical styles, fashion trends, and cultural values) spread around the globe (p. 49). Furthermore, the cultural impact globalization has imparted on American society is clearly evident in the enormous number of choices available, which includes choices concerning food, fashion, and the arts of film, dance, and music (The Impact of Globalization on the Consumer, 2014). For instance, when I dine out and have the choice of a type of cuisine to eat, just in the small city I live, there are at least three of each type of Asian (Thai, Mongolian, Japanese, and Chinese), Mexican, and Italian restaurants.

Globalization is a new term to describe social, cultural, and economic process. It is a process that describes the interaction between different social groups. Tomas L. Freidman (2005), an American journalist, columnist and author, he wrote a book called “The world is Flat”. In the article, he notices that there are three period of globalization. He named the first period of globalization the globalization 1 which lasted from 1942. In the globalization 1, only countries involved in globalization. The globalization 2 lasted from 1800 to 2000. In this period, a lot of companies from different countries got involved. The last period is from 2000 to now. In the last period, individuals also involved in

Although I do feel that this poem embodies more connections to environmental justice, I could only pull out 3. The first thing that I recognize in the first stanza, is how globalization has a huge part in America. Almost everything that we wear is made overseas and we do not pay it too much attention. The people in Korea or Malaysia mention in this stanza may be creating the clothing we are wearing today. The next set of stanzas that stood out to me were stanzas 4-7 where it seems as if the factory that the clothing was created in was burning down and people were attempting to escape. “One hundred and forty-six died in the flames…” allows us to visualize the harsh conditions that these people are working in so that people around the world can

“Americanization” is one of the principal concerns that largely represent the world culture aside from the homogenization that supposedly to take place the new globalization of culture. The dominance of American market and great influence of its political system impacted cultures. For instance, patronizing the American Pop culture especially by the teenagers of other countries, contribute to the proliferation of American market in terms of trade and services. Exposure to prior cultural trade somehow affects others’ local and national culture and there are people who believe that it undermine cultural identity.

Due to global warming, the United States is quickly becoming a suitable environment for mosquitos carrying malaria to take over. "As international travel increases and climate patterns change – particularly warming nighttime temperatures and increased precipitation -- the U.S. becomes a more stable ecosystem for these disease carrying insects to survive and flourish for longer periods of time." “Airport malaria is transmitted when a mosquito infected with the disease bites a human within the vicinity (usually one mile or less) of an international airport. Warmer climate changes in major U.S. cities with a large presence of international air traffic, such as New York and Los Angeles, seem to have created a more welcoming environment where

Globalisation is an interesting concept, especially considering the way it allows for more and more cultures to communicate with each other. With this communication, cultures is able to stretch its impact on the world society as a whole. The way globalisation affects many cultures through the interweaving of all different sorts of cultures. Though with a growing connection, there is an impact on culture regarding the environment, and the “Stewardship of Natural Resources”. Globalisation plays a large role in the understandings between one group of people to another, but to further express the relation between Culture and the “Stewardship of Natural Resources”, it is also important to understand the relationship cultures have with the

Based on this definition the author explained about the process of globalization, and the globalization was impact of transnational and transcultural integration of human and non-human activities, the globalization was consequences of those processes and also influence of platform of respective country. Transnational and transcultural activities among state encompasses the many terms of life in international system, for example economy, politics, health, education, environment, social, culture and arts, Alan Deardorff also argues about the definition of globalization,

Globalization has more of a negative effect on traditions than a positive effect. Many cultural traditions are extinct because a lot of cultures are modern and revolve their cultural practices off of America’s practices or another culture’s practices. Globalization has a negative effect on cultures and traditions in many ways; globalization causes traditions to disappear, older generations to feel angry, and businesses to fail. Globalization is a positive thing because it causes a bigger bond and better understanding of other cultures. In general, globalization causes more bad than good within different cultures around the world.

Globalization challenges scholars who advocate a significant developmental function of the state, not so much be restraining the state 's proper responsibility. By rewarding meticulous structures, developmental states have concentrated on the central state or have probe state-society relations. Their scrutiny of relations within states provides much room for perfection, and they have only begun to value the potential assistance of local governments in promoting economic development. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it argues about how globalization has consequences for intergovernmental relations. In particular, it focuses on examining China and India to advance our comprehension of how globalization affects economy

Chelsey, you have a great point regarding the majority of individuals are so wrapped up in the here and now and have no idea about anything outside of their four walls. In just reading the first chapter of this textbook, even though I don’t understand everything in it I have gained more knowledge and understanding on the various cultures and human geography I would have never been exposed to otherwise. After reading the section in our textbook on globalization for example opened my eyes to I am truly affected by globalization, from the clothes I have on my body to the laptop, books and cell phone I have at my fingertips. Companies are able to make the most profit and keep prices reasonable if they globalize. Even though globalization is shown to be a positive advantage for the core countries that are industrialized commercialism versus the developing countries that rely on labor given to them. In doing so, globalization has caused an uneven development issue to arise in the poorer countries causing them to migrate to find work to make a living. While doing some more research on globalization, I came across a way globalization has benefited a third world country called Pakistan also known as a periphery country.
