Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology (Globalization 101). Globalization has progressively integrated its way into all countries, consequently, it has also integrated its way in the Gwich’n society and the Mosuo people of Southwest China leaving both positive and negative impacts on their traditional culture and society. The Gwich’ns Society are indigenous people of northwest Canada.

However, the growth of the global economy isn’t through transnationalism but internal tourism , meaning the tourist that mostly visit the area are the same people of China but from different ethnic group in China, one of those groups are the “Han China”. Subsequently, with the introduction of technology (electricity, television, internet and phones) and more communication with the outside world, tourism has impacted the traditions of the Mosuo people, and their matrilineal culture is changing. The younger generation have become curious about the outside world, in that, some want to experience what they see on television, they want to experience a world outside of the Mosuo culture (urban life). Therefore they leave “the kingdom” to gain such experiences but eventually some of them return home because they cannot manage the city life. One example is the story of the ‘Mosuo sisters” where both of them left the village but had to return home because of recession. One of the sister left the village for a second time, meanwhile the other stayed and decide to live her traditional lifestyle. Another impact on the Mosuo global economy through internal tourism was the practice of prostitution, the Mosuo women was portrayed as prostitutes (frequently changing partners) however, this was not so, the tourism

For over thousands of years, globalization has widely occurred worldwide. Infact, since it had such an impactful widespread among people and families, It stayed throughout its heritage and was passed on to today.
For decades till today, the word of “Globalization” has been a controversial topic between the nations. Some people are against and the others are for it. In simple words, the meaning of globalization is the merging of all the world to become a small village, and that is surely will lead to more interaction between the people from different parts of the world.
“Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world” (The State University of New York, 2014, para 1).
Who are the eaters of raw fish? The Inuit people were given this name from the Abnaki Indians because of their distinct diet. They are a very proud and distinct nation that is very much different both culturally and linguistically from the Native Americans we are familiar with in the states. The Inuit culture differs from American culture greatly; the Inuit adolescents begin earlier than American’s since they spend much more time developing as adults in the wild. They also have different rituals to show adult hood.

In this essay I will discuss multiple perspectives on globalization through the analysis of these three sources.

This is not a new age fad, this is a spiritual experience that runs deep in history. Kongo, now known as Angola, was one of the five African colonies discussed in Robert Farris Thompson’s “Flash of the Spirit: African and Afro-American Art and Philosophy.” Kongo is located in the west central area of Africa near other colonies such as the Belgian Congo and the People’s Republic of Congo-Brazzaville. To distinguish themselves these non-Kongo people, the Kongo and Bakongo individuals spelled their name with a K instead of a C. The Kongo civilization was a very artistic group of individuals

In the Congo, of Africa, lives a tribe known as the Mbuti. They are pygmies (dwarf like people) living in a luscious rain forest known as the Ituri. The Ituri Forest existed prior to the last ice age. The universe of the rainforest is one of purged sunlight below a lofty, expansive cloak of trees, where abysmal peace exists with the punctuating cries of the numerous birds and animals that share the forest with the Mbuti. A consistent, peacefully affable warmth, ample rainfall, damp air, and rich earth nurture the abundance of vegetation that grows. The abundance of vegetation benefits animals, birds, and insects that are soon to become a nutrimental source of the Mbuti diet. The culture of the Mbuti derived from their dependents on the
The Mbuti people are known as foragers because their main source of survival lies on hunting and gathering as they move from one place to another. They originated from a region in Africa called Congo. The Mbuti people even with their fairly decent population prefer to be grouped into smaller groups or bands which are mostly made up of close relatives. They live in the rainforests of central Africa, where they have lived popularly for more than 6000 years now.

This chapter gives an over view concept of what globalization entails. The chapter gives a great description and definition of the concept: “Globalization is a holistic, or systematic, set of structures, dynamics, functions or goals, internal constraints, and external impediments”. All of this is relative to the exchange of goods, services, e-goods, information, ect.

Globalization is far reaching in this day and age. Globalization is the worldwide flow of goods, services, money, people, information, and culture. It leads to a greater interdependence and mutual awareness among the people of the world (Tischler, 2011, 2007, p. 430). One non-Western culture that has been impacted by globalization is China. An example of the impact of globalization on China is their economy. Since joining the World Trade Organization, China has transformed from a culture that relied on economic self-sufficiency and shunned the thought of globalization to an economy that is progressively more open to trade and foreign investment.
According to Oxford Dictionary, Globalization refers to the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale. China, with the implementation of economic reforms in 1978, has had a growing number of interactions with other countries in different capacities, ranging from economic and political to environmental and cultural. With the expansion of globalization, whether it has brought China more good than harm is widely debated. Deaton (2016) claims that globalization has done more good than bad. China certainly receives more advantages than disadvantages through globalization by increasing quality of life, economic growth, the advent of cultural diversity and the alleviating measures launched.
