3. 
Globalization refers to the historical process
by which all the world's people increasingly
come to live in a single social unit. It
implicates religion and religions in several
ways.
From religious or theological
perspectives, globalization calls
forthreligious response and interpretation.
The Globalization of
Religion

4. 
 When this vision of globalization is applied to
religion, we can suggest that we will see steady
change from the conventional form of religion linked
intimately to the histories and cultures of respective
nations and ethnic groups. Instead, the activities of
individual religious groups will take on the
increasing characteristic of free competition on a
global scale. Further, there is also the possibility of
witnessing great transformations in the traditional
structure of the historical religions.

 Media globalization has been a
natural extension of corporate
expansion on an international
scale. Post World War II
reconstruction through
organizations such as the
World Bank and the
International Monetary Fund
helped to spread globalization
through financial investment.
Media and Globalization

11. 
 Researchers have noted a variety of effects resulting
from media globalization. Some of these observed
effects are open to interpretation while others are
acknowledged by most communication scholars.
Certain researchers tie their observations to their
own theories which attempt to explain certain
observed effects. In contrast, other researchers may
take on a more descriptive approach preferring to
describe detailed effects and apply the theories of
other scholars as models for explanation.
Effects of Media Globalization

12. 
 Perhaps the most important
role of the media in politics is
to report the news. As noted
above, the vast majority of
people must trust the media
to provide them with
information. Democracy
requires that citizens be
informed because they must
be able to make educated
voting choices.

 What Is Cultural
Imperialism?
 The cultural imperialism
thesis is often invoked to
explain the process whereby
the relationship of culture to
geographical and social
territories is being
increasingly reformulated in
the era of globalization. The
idea of “imperialism

 Contributions to Cultural
Imperialism
 • Stuart Hall argues that the global
mass culture is actually
predominantly American culture.
Hall looks at the global cultural
sphere as being “dominated by the
visual and graphic arts . . . dominated
by television and by film, and by the
image, imagery, and styles of mass
advertising.” (Disney)

 The Global Development
Studies (GDS) minor allows
students to explore
the political, economic, and
sociocultural dimensions of
global development, while
also providing opportunities
to learn skills and engage in
experiences that
enable future studies or
work in the field of global
development.
Why Study Global Development?

27. 
 Global cities are also said to
share many of the same
characteristics because of their
connectedness and shared
experiences of globalization.
... Such cities have been
marketed as “entrepreneurial”
centres, sites of innovation in
the knowledge economy, and
as being rich with cultural
capital.
Defining the Global City

28. 
 Globalization remains at the center of today’s
debates. Yet, despite much research and
commentary, vital dimensions remain poorly
understood. Recent decades of globalization have
created a more interconnected, interdependent and
complex world than ever witnessed before.
 While global policy has focused on facilitating
integration, the implications of growing
interdependence have been largely ignored. The
acceleration in global integration has brought many
benefits, but it also has created fragility through
increased vulnerability and exposure to global
shocks, such as today’s financial crisis.
Globalization: The Good, The Bad and the Uncertain

29.  The biggest challenge for politicians and
policy makers is the need to balance the
enormous benefits that global openness
and connectivity brings with national
politics and priorities.
 It also is a major concern for citizens,
who are torn between the benefits of
imported goods and services, and their
worries about local jobs, the dangers
associated with illicit flows, and other
implications of more open borders.
These concerns are universal and effect
all societies.
Globalization: The Good, The Bad and the
Uncertain

30. 
 The benefits of global integration have been
associated with unprecedented leaps in human
development indicators. Technological innovation
has accelerated integration both virtually,
through the development of fiber optics, the
internet and mobile telephony, as well as
physically with vast improvements in transport
and infrastructure.
 The spread of people, ideas, trade and the
inspiring education revolution has and will
continue to offer enormous potential for poverty
alleviation and economic opportunity.
