My understanding of a Global Society is that it brings people of all nations closer together, through a common ground. It’s like a growth towards countries coming together economically and not only seeing themselves through their national individuality, but as well as a part of the world as a whole; whether it is through ethnicity and culture, politics, education.
Ethnicity and culture factors into global societies in many various ways, it is a world with numerous groups of people with loads of different beliefs. Global society is nothing more than a big world with many different ethnicities and cultures incorporated differently across the world. In many ways globalization has advanced our understandings about different cultures and beliefs, because we were blinded. We as a world integrated one another’s cultures and beliefs as the centuries go by through globalization, learning and understanding cultures and beliefs, one’s that we probably had idea they exist.
Politics is also a key factor when it comes to a global society. Many countries have different views when it comes to the way they run their government. This some times raises issues between countries because every form of government believes they are the right government, which is impossible for all of them to be correct, but without a global society we would not have known that other governments yet were to exist.
Now education is the ultimate factor to me when it comes to a global society. It allows developed countries to educate the underdeveloped countries in various ways, whether it is through the education in schools, education of diseases, or even the education of medicine, and so much more. Education in a global society benefits pretty much everybody, even in the littlest ways. It makes it possible for the underdeveloped counties to come up and possibly become a developed country in due time, which in turn will improved the world

    The acceleration of globalization has raised issues culture conformity and diversity throughout the world. These topics are argued drastically throughout the world. Apparently, issues relate to cultures will not simply defined by right or wrong because each coins have two sides and every culture have their own advantages and drawbacks. True, many people may claim that globalization has made this world smaller and the distinctions between nations or cultures are disappearing. But personally, I hold positive opinions about the cultural developments nowadays.…

    Living globally also means the accumulation of more differences amongst us in the society. These differences can be regarding race, ethnicity, culture, traditions, sexuality, etc. But because we are humans internally and many times strongly socialized within our own particular society it is at times difficult to understand, adjust or even accept the “other/s.” Many times, these differences are also subtly referred to as…

    The world has become a smaller living environment years after years. As people from diverse cultural societies, economic come together and interact easily with each other without any regards to race, color, religion, wealth, and gender. Although, there exist small diplomatic gaps between countries (North Korea and USA), the harmony between nation states seems to gradually progress and heads to positive directions. Globalization (global citizens) and modernization play an important role in connecting people from around the globe, which makes the world looks a smaller place. But, they are some nations that negatively and positively affect by the process. There are different critical thoughts about globalization. On one side of thoughts, thinks…

    There are four main changes which have brought about globalisation. These four changes are; technological changes, economic changes, political changes and changes in culture and identity. Religion was probably the 'original globaliser' - major religions have rapidly spread across the world through historical processes such as conquest, colonisation and migration. An examination of religion in a global context suggests that religious belief systems continue to exert great influence over social, cultural and political events. The global evidence does not support the concept of a secular global world. Rather it suggests that globally religion is probably spreading faster than ever. Economic globalization can be reflected in the idea that all…

    Globalization has many pros and cons. In a society where fear over rules and gets in the way of moving forward, it is hard to be able to forecast the future and tomorrows actions. What one must do is relate to history and proceed with small steps. With a factor such as globalization where interconnecting on a national and global level, many nations and countries fear that by interconnecting it will increase the scale of inequality (Dickens, 2011 p. 6). This might be true to say due to the underdeveloped countries and there has to be countries with less power otherwise the would would not function properly if we were on the same level. Some countries need to be more invested to better help the lesser countries. When one fails, the other will be there to help.…

    Globalisation is the widening, deepening and speeding up of global interconnection, and growth of the Earth. It can also be described as growth on a global or worldwide scale. For example the growth of economies, power within a country and also down to a company in that country. There are many factors contributing to globalisation; however there are three main sections, split up between political, economic and cultural. The economic category means that all economies are globally interconnected. The political section is about the evidence of growing importance of international organisations such as TNC’s. The final category is to do with culture, where information, commodities and images are displayed and produced in one part of the world and enter a global flow, flattening the cultural differences between countries. All three categories are “a complicated and complex web of interconnectedness” where geographical whereabouts and territorial boundaries are of declining significance. Personally I believe that there are certain aspects which drive globalisation more than others and this is media.…

    Globalisation is the emergence of a complex web of interconnectedness that means that our lives are increasingly shaped by events that occur in countries made further away from us. This process has increased significantly since the birth of the UN with 193 out of 196 states participating which have led to better communication between nation states. This has led to a more liberal view of the world as liberals also believe that nation states should be interconnected and helping each other while realists have a more Machiavellian view of nation states which is that all nations act out of self-interest and greed.…
