The term globalization first appeared in the early 20th century, developed its
current meaning sometime in the second half of the 20th century, and came into
popular use in the 1990s
This
increase
in
global
interactions
has
caused
a
growth
in
international trade and the exchange of ideas, beliefs, and culture. Globalization is
primarily an economic process of interaction and integration that is associated with
social and cultural aspects. However, disputes and international diplomacy are also
large parts of the history of globalization, and of modern globalization.
Globalization actually started when the Multi National companies mainly
from the western world left their boundaries and started to operate Worldwide. These
developed countries rely on less developed countries for raw materials, cheap labors
and market for their goods and products. While the under developed Nations depend
on developed countries for their economic development and technologies. When
people from two different countries live together or share a common land, a mix and
blending of culture always takes place. This cross border trade has put an impact on
life style, habits and culture of people in one or another way.
Culture of a Nation is a set of knowledge, beliefs, traditional values, life style,
literature, language and morals which are being practiced by the natives of the
country at a particular time. Culture is dynamic by nature. Globalization has affected
the cultures of various countries in both positive and negative ways.
We may take the example of eating habits of people. Food or cuisine is an
integral part of any culture. Due to Globalization, people now taste different
products which were otherwise not available to them
Countries like Singapore, China and South Korea have made a significant
position in exporting their mobiles, batteries, electronic items and gadgets
throughout the World. In the same way, cars, packed medicaments and vehicle parts
from west are accessible to the whole world.
Globalization has allowed people to understand the cultures, ideas and beliefs
of different parts of World. Information technology has played a significant role in
making this understanding easier. As a result, Countries from the Eastern part of the
Globe are getting familiar with the art forms, dance forms, life style, literature and
cinema of the Western world and adopting them very well in their day to day life. In
the same way, countries from the west part of the Globe are welcoming yoga and
meditation of East in their life style and are benefitted in one or another way. There
is an increased sharing of common values, life forms and arts among the countries.
Negative
Globalization has some negative effects too. It has lead to an easy access to
the culture of different countries. The culture of a country can be best described by
the country herself. Globalization may lead to misrepresentation of the culture. It
may result as a loss of culture or individual identity.
We can say the same thing about customs and traditions
Globalization has also affected local trades and business negatively. Due to
an easy approach to foreign products and goods, country made art forms; handicrafts
have been suffering the most. These art forms, handicrafts and scriptures etc
represents the culture of a Nation which are otherwise getting neglected and losing
their separate or individual identity. Globalization is often viewed as the
westernization of developing countries. Due to this increasing impact, citizens of
these countries are adopting western culture to a large extent.
