Globalisation had been described as the “worldwide diffusion of practices‚ expansion of relations across continents‚ organisation of social life on a global scale‚ and growth of a shared global consciousness” (Ritzer‚ 2004).

This is evidently an advantage for super powers such as the USA as they have many products they export and import. This increases USA’s rate of globalisation as they become both sellers and buyers at a cheaper cost. Two of the world’s three main stock markets are London (which is in the EU)‚ and New York (which is in the U.S.A). This gives both superpowers the ability to control growth‚ giving them

The term Americanisation has been used since 1907 for the American impact on other countries. I will write about negative and positive aspects of America’s culture and how it affects our world and how it was formed. One of the main things which form society is a culture

Who do you think are the WINNERS and LOSERS of globalization? The train of globalization has shown no signs of slowing down as information‚ people‚ goods and services flow more freely across international borders than ever before. We should recognize that it is unlikely that all parties will benefit equally from this exchange as there is bound to be “winners” and “losers” in every trade.

From Mc World and cow boy capitalism to cultural ecumene and glocalisation‚ theorists are continually inventing polychromatic phrases to explain their differing points of view on cultural shifts caused by globalisation. “Globalization has been associated with a range of cultural consequences. These can be analysed in terms of three major theses‚ namely‚ homogenization‚ polarization‚ and hybridization‚” (Holton 2000). This essay seeks to lend credence to the hybridization thesis‚ by observing a coffee

This essay begins with a definition and description of the key elements of McDonaldization. A brief history of rationalization then leads into observations on technological advances and their role in globalisation. A discussion of globalisation follows and looks at how it has shaped the relationship between the local and global aspects of our society. With these concepts established McDonaldization is reintroduced to explore how it relates in light of the localized and globalized world.

As Nakamura (2002‚ p. 64) expressed‚ “Globalisation is neither the convergence of westernisation nor Americanisation.” What this means is that we must look broader than just Western Europe‚ or the United States to see what globalisation is‚ and if we want to have true freedom‚ we must then understand and work with the cultures that surround us.
