Culture and Global Changes for Better Human Life
Thursday 7- Friday 8 September 2017
Background:
Globalization has a vast concept. Some people see globalization as the homogenization of culture. Thus, to understand globalization one must re-understand the world and how culture, diversity, politics, ethnicity, race, and homogeneity are manifested. Some see globalization as the ever changing of technology, economy, media, and ideology through the movement of people over cultural and national boundaries. Some restrict it as an exclusively economic phenomenon while others believe it also has social, cultural and political effects.
