The word globalization is the new buzzword that has come to dominant the world since the nineties of the last century with the end of the cold war and break-up of the former Soviet Union and the global trends towards the rolling ball. But the phenomenon of globalization is not new. Some of the globalization forms are climatic change, migration, development of communication, health, economy, education, etc. Globalization is a complex, multifaceted process that affects all aspects of life-economy, political, cultural and social. In the one hand, it is a long term process that has been propelled by technology, economics, politics and knowledge to create a “GLOBAL COSMOPOLITAN SOCIETY “which is shaking up of our existing ways of life. Thus the process of globalization has affected every facets of human life including education. In the twentieth century, India has experienced growth in the educational facilities available to entry new educations from the west. Some scholar believed that it is invaluable opportunity for the people of the country and others fear that it is merely a modern version of cultural imperialism, may
Globalization, described as the expansion, intensification and acceleration of global interconnectedness, is one of the intense phenomena that the contemporary era has experienced. It has influenced the monetary, ecological, and societal characteristics of all the nations of the world. Due to both positive and negative consequences on the life of the citizens the world over, globalization is one of the most talked about issue of this century (Javed 2004).
Historical globalization is important in today’s society, as it prevents troubled times from repeating. There is no doubt that our world has failed many times in the past. But, as said by many wise people, you can always learn from your mistakes. Indian Residential Schools are an example something we can learn from and prevent from happening again in
Globalization is the process of world integration of ideas, cultures and economies. In the past five hundred years there were two major periods of globalization which have generated irreversible effects on the world. One period, began with the Age of Exploration in the late fifteenth century, and it spanned until the eighteen hundreds. The other period, the post WW II era, began in the middle of the twentieth century and continues today. Each of these eras marked a tremendous evolution in economic strength, religion, human rights, woman’s rights, agriculture and last but not least technology.
The writer points out that even though globalization is an economic issue per Brysk (2003, p. 22), the framework formed a combination of factors is one that one must consider as an influence in education (Merriam, Caffarella, & Baumgartner, 2007). These influences are 1) connection, 2) cosmopolitanism, 3) communication, and 4) Commodification. Each of these areas is having positive effects such as bringing together people who would not otherwise connect, or in creating the means for effective communications between peoples with different
In this essay, I will discuss the matter of Globalization of two nations, South Korea and India. Globalization can be defined as, in simple terms, as the process of making something, anything available worldwide. It is a collaboration between countries, exchanging goods, services, workers, ideas, and even culture, which allow a multitude of opportunities to anyone to enjoy, from anywhere in the world (dictionary.com, n.d.). Globalization can been seen different depending on where you are from. It can cause issues for more traditional societies such as losing
21st century. It is undergoing some major transformations and developments which are mainly effected by Globalization. Such as, international education, global capitalism, spread of culture and media, trade and work. Thus, it’s crucial to interpret the term of Globalization, which becomes a major backdrop of other phenomenon, including high education. Certainly, higher education provides prerequisite skills and higher life

They have to communicate in English language as a medium of communication, which shows the impact globalization has made in India. Western music, western TV shows are being watched by the young generation, and are getting more and more popular among them. Which has again impacted their own culture, as they should be participating in cultural activities and respecting their own culture. In spite of opting other countries lifestyle and culture they should adopt their own culture and make their own Identity. Whereas if I talk about globalization of technology in India, technology have again played a significant role in India. With the help of technology things are getting more advanced and organized. Computers and internet is being used everywhere in India. Use of technology in schools or institutes is very beneficial and helpful for the students.
As Nelly Stromquist states “education has become the key venue to support globalization” (xiv). Personally. I can attest to this statement because, attending the University of California, Berkeley has allowed me expand my global horizons like never before. Globalization as defined by Manfred Steger is “the expansion and intensification of social relations and consciousness across world time and world space” (15). In essence, globalization is about expanding worldwide interconnectivity. While it is true that education and schools encourage globalization, I believe depending on the type of institution, one’s access into the global world will vary due to the amount of resources.
Globalization which is defined as the process which breaks down the barrier of geography, legality and politics among countries (Scholte, 2002, cited in Baburajan, 2011) has become a fashionable term of recent decades. It enables people worldwide to experience the unprecedented changes in various aspects of their life, varying from study to entertainment. This immediate prevalence of globalization plays an increasingly vital role in higher education and creates opportunities for people to continue taking advanced studies (Altbach, 2004). Altbach (2004) points out that it is inevitable that globalization will have some effects on higher education due to the rapid development of economy, technology as well as science. In order to survive
Globalization is a relatively recent phenomenon that has an enormous influence on the future of our planet. It elicits contradictory reactions from economists, politicians, scientists and ordinary people. In addition to its benefits, globalization has dangers and risks. It is responsible for environmental problems, the population explosion, extreme poverty, mass unemployment, etc.
Globalization is a multi-dimensional phenomenon that drives most of the changes in the educational system (Obioma, 2011). In the world of today, globalization makes borderless education or what is referred to as transnational border to develop new international partnerships and networks (Zelza, 2005).
The term ' 'globalization ' ' is so saturated with conclusive idealism that such economic philosophy can only appear to intend principles of fairness or freedom. Before the 18th century, the belief was that societies were in a state of decline amongst ancient civilizations. However, during the Enlightenment period, the notion of progress became pervasive, which eventually prompted sociological and cultural revolution, the Western stage theories of progress. In the course, we have so far discussed the emergence of developmental thinking from its conception to its prevailing influence on modern society. The teleology that it has established is that progress is innate and that we are on the same trajectory to the state of betterment: an economic freedom. However, I would like to discuss the adverse effects and consequences of such fixation on progress and development, illustrated by the state of globalization and the imposition of rational order throughout the world. The enthusiasm for ration and technology to govern the human and natural world encourages entities to attempt developmental projects or create solutions that only benefit the sovereign or force developing countries into a Western framework.
Globalization is a term often used to describe the rapid advances in technology that saw a plethora of interaction and integration among government, businesses, and people. This is how I used to think of it, that it brought the world together and made it a better place to live. And it did, for those fortunate enough to be living in the first world. Although globalization brought prosperity to the first world, it was at the expense of the third world. So is it a bad thing? Is it a good thing? The answer is that it’s both, and it can be both for some and only one for others, what you get is decided by the place you call home.
Economic Globalization has been sweeping across the nation since the end of WWII. Slowly but surely all the nations across the world have been impacted by Economic Globalization. India for example has been one of the countries that has been recently hit by the storm and India’s economy can be seen to still be shooting up. In my paper I will be discussing the Economic Globalization of India, the roots of the globalization to occur, the effects it had and the negative effects it had. Effects such as foreign trade, economic growth and GDP. From the mid 90’s to current times India is seeing the effects of globalization, bringing India into one of the top countries in the world in terms of GDP being ranked at 10th in the world.
