    Study Notes

    Cultural Globalization

    • Refers to the transmission of ideas, meanings, and values across the world, expanding and intensifying social relations.
    • Involves the formation of shared norms and knowledge that people associate with their cultural identities.
    • Leads to increasing interconnectedness among different populations and cultures.

    Phases of Cultural Globalization

    Pre-Modern Phase

    • Early human migration facilitated trade and social networks among nations.
    • Emergence of world religions.
    • Development of trans-regional trade networks, often centered in China and India, such as the Silk Road.
    • The Silk Road promoted both commodity exchange and cultural diffusion, leading to the spread of Buddhism from India to China and the expansion of Islam to the Indian subcontinent, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

    Modern Phase

    • European imperialism and the spread of Christianity.
    • Industrialization, leading to the demand for raw materials to supply industries.
    • Science advanced through the development of electronic shipping, railways, and cable technology.
    • Emerging international economy.
    • International migration.
    • Development of freedom movements.
    • Rise of Nation-States.

    Contemporary Phase (1945 - Present)

    • Post-Cold War struggle resulted in increased cultural flows through immigration, ideas, goods, symbols, and images.
    • Development of transportation infrastructures such as jet airlines, road, and rail networks.
    • Ideas are transmitted through the internet, popular culture media, and international travel.
    • "Global Village" concept introduced by Marshall McLuhan in the 1960s, describing the increasingly interconnected world due to media technologies.

    Cultural Imperialism

    • Cultural aspects of imperialism.
    • Creation and maintenance of unequal relationships between civilizations, favoring the more powerful civilization.

    • Introduced new products, religions, values, and traditions.

    Perspectives of Culture

    Ethnocentrism

    • The belief that one's own culture is the standard for measuring other cultures.
    • Evaluating other cultural practices, symbols, and beliefs based on one's own culture.
    • Often leads to pride, vanity, belief in group superiority, and contempt for outsiders.

    Cultural Relativism

    • Understanding a person's beliefs, values, and practices within their own cultural context without judgment.
