GS101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Glocalization
Document Summary
Global and local are inherently and completely interconnected. They are the two ip sides of a coin, something that should always be remembered. Although they are contradictory events they are in fact happening simultaneously, despite contrary beliefs. In the social sciences generally one deals with raging debate. There"s no clear answer and theres issues that are so new and unsolved that we cannot say anything with complete certainty. What we have is a bunch of arguments by academias and journalists about what is really happening in the world and as a result we will have a lot of different theories. While some people think of globalization in terms of capital ow, geographic experts might think about migration and refugee crisis" while an anthropologists might look at the spread and mixing of different cultures around the world. The condition of our age, state of our time. It is questioning whether we are moving into a new era.
