It is little bit hard to define cultural globalization since there are lots to consider such as economical, religious,etc. According to Wikipedia, Globalization (or globalisation) is the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture. Advances in transportation and telecommunications infrastructure, including the rise of the telegraph and its posterity the Internet, are major factors in globalization, generating further interdependence of economic and cultural activities.As we can see in this definition, culture is already related to globalization.
I don't agree with Clifford Geertz which he was saying 'Culture is not a power, something to which social events can be casually attributed' if I understood it correctly. I think by causally attributed, it can be a power. For example,
Jewish people has the power of enrolling in America's economy in variety of fields. Their thoughts, religion and other fields in capital things they earend from thoughts made a big power in America. We can say Jewish people has a big part of America's economical(?) system which is 'Power' in this time.
It was an interesting view that increasing global connectivity can be called the Third World. And some people understand globalization as a certain kind of culture's boundary. such as Americanism, westertnization. It is not quiet correct way to view connection between globalization and culture. than what else could be? I'm little bit confused about what I said above the article about Jewish people. I think it's a kind of cultural globallzation because many Jewish people are acting in variety of fields I think they are helping cultural globalization. did I understand it right?
