Mind Map: Globalization
Definition:
The increasing interconnectedness of humanity caused by the diminishing time-space constraints between countries; causing the subsequent internationalisation of national brands (Like Samsung and MI), issues (Whatever the US army is doing), cultures (Anime, Democracy)
Differences between Globalisation and Westernisation
Westernisation occurs when western culture becomes more prevalent in a place that is not inherently western, while Globalisation is the sharing of the two.
Differences:
Similarities:
Both include change and development
It can lead to international trade
Different cultures connect
While globalisation is 2-way, westernisation is 1 way.
Western problems often get lumped on the other countries without that happening the other way (Vietnam war, Cold war's Berlin wall)
Western is basically the only culture spreading in this situation

Opposite of localisation.
Involves IGO's and alliances and usually the Americans or Chinese to some degree
