Whether globalization is the key to wealth and knowledge are two very different questions. Globalization seems to be the key to wealth for the global corporations that are taking over larger markets and attracting more consumers from different countries. As for the key to knowledge, globalization has created media imperialism where information is passed through a controlling party's filter before reaching the rest of the world. This creates a double edge-sword where control of knowledge/information is the key to wealth and wealth is the key to knowledge/information.Kate Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16888639425315325929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731975187482863472.post-37839657594295449452009-09-21T17:34:00.787-07:002009-09-21T17:34:00.787-07:00Hey Chemia!

I'm wondering if the act of globalization weakens and divides a culture, as many sections develop while others stay behind; or, does globalization actually strengthen cultures as it positions nations in contrast to each other? With increasing access to media, foreign cultures become more publicized. Does this act to contrast other cultures, thus strengthening cultural identities?zoestathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919141185450812282noreply@blogger.com
