Culture Globalization
  -"What is relationship between culture and globalization?"

1. Understanding globalization as a generalized process of increasing connectedness helps us to keep in mind the multidimensional complexity of the process.  But there nonetheless remain a good many tacit assumptions as to the relative importance of each of these dimensions.  We must resist the temptation to attribute it with causal primacy in the globalization process.  There are several reasons for this.  First, we aren't dealing with straght forward empirical judgements about what specific pracctices drive everything else.  So the temptation to economic reductionism is that it operates on an unrealistically narrow conception of the economic.  Second, that is distorts our understanding of sphere of culture.  We have to probe more about the peculiarly complicated and often elusive concept of culture.  The systemic integration of myriad small individual actions into the workings of the socialinstitutions which appear autonomously to govern our lives.
   Common speculation about globalization process is that it will lead to single global culture.  We can see 'the unifying' effects.  Eurocentrism.  True, such sentiments could scarcely flourish in today’s liberal intellectual culture, sharply attuned as it is to the claims of cultural difference. But still we can take a lesson from Marx’s example.  This certainly remains true today.
   One clear implication of the discussion in the previous section is that both utopian and dystopian speculations about a single integrated global culture are not only generally ethnocentric in their origins.  This is not via the macro analysis of ‘globality’, but precisely in the opposite way, by understanding the effects of globalization as they are felt within particular localities.  We have to develop these thoughts via a brief consideration of the fate of cultural identity in a globalizing world.


2. I can recognize about the 'totalitarianism of culture.  Which was spread of western capitalist, paricularly American culture and it threat of a loss of distinct non-Western culture traditions.
Brand such as Disney, Coca-Cola, Marlboro, Microsoft, Google, McDonal's and so on.  And also like formulaic Hollywood movies, Western popular music genres and television formats appear to many as what the filmmaker referred to as 'a kind of totalitarianism of culture.'


3.  What is different as a 'Christendom' point between pre-modern and today? And how it is relative with globalization?
