Globalisation definition

 

An email from Manila...,

Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 21:08:49 -0700 (PDT)

 

From: yas sutaria

>Question: How to define globalization?

>Answer: Princess Diana's death

>Question: How come?

>Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was pissed on Scottish whiskey, followed closely by an Italian Paparazzi, on motorcycles, treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines! And this is sent to you by a Filipino, using an American's (Bill Gates') technology which he stole from the Taiwanese.

 

Required viewing

There are several videos used in this course. These are on hold at the library for this course. Several sections will be viewed in class. Other segments will be referred to in the weekly guide. You will need to look at our site each week to know when the tapes are available. At the time of the printing of this guide the following two are present in the library and several others are on order:

 

Global Insights 4.

GLOBALISATION 101

ONLINE UPDATES 

 

MONDAY 5 PM EACH WEEK FOR NEW MATERIAL go to the Electronic Reserves Course Index, https://eres.ulib.albany.edu/ and find this course and go to the current week. What is in this guide for the weekly viewing may change as videos clips are made available online.

 

 

1. What this course is about

Globalisation and culture’ is a large topic. This course will examine and discuss different aspects of cultural change as technology has increasingly influenced our lives. In our exploration we will try to step back from our own personal world-views as much as possible, though much of the material will necessarily be presented from a Western perspective. We will discuss various cultures but we will focus mainly on how Western society is currently influencing the world.

 

The need to expand, learn and share ideas has been with us as long as life has existed. Expansion has been embraced as well as being met with resistance. Whether we see this as conquering, colonization, social-evolution or education depends on one’s perspective.

 

We will cover topics as diverse as music, money-exchange, foods, gender, beliefs, communication and sports.  Our emphasis will be on technological change, which has positive and negative effects on cultures and our own lives. Through viewing and reading sources such as video, Internet and journal readings it is hoped that you will be able to formulate a personal informed view of globalisation from both a positive and negative standpoint. This course is expected to encourage an active approach toward these issues and to provide you with new information with which to evaluate these issues.

 

At the end of this course you should have an understanding of cultural issues currently debated in contemporary society. Several perspectives will be presented and of course none of them are the correct model for everyone.  You may disagree with some of the content, and this will be welcomed. For example, several of the videos shown are from ‘Global Insights’ (https://www.skatv.org.au/skatv/) a series of videos, some which are subversive. These are from Australia and show protest activities worldwide that are meant to disrupt globalisation. See week 12’s viewings for other sources of viewing of dedicated activists and media mischief-makers around the world. Alternatively, you may agree with issues of globalisation and view it as a necessary force of good. Personally I believe there are both positive as well as negative aspects to globalisation just as there are aspects of sharing and introducing cultures there is the possible destruction of cultures.

 

This course is planned to encourage you to bring some of your own experiences and world-views to the course and for you to take responsibility for your learning. We will be working in cluster groups on Thursday and our Tuesday classes will be as interactive as possible. More of this will be discussed in the next section of this guide.


2. Attendance Policy

 

Class attendance will thus be taken each Tuesday and Thursday at the start of class and students are encouraged to come to class prepared and participate fully. Two-percent will be deducted from the final grade for each class missed that does not have one of the two excuses:

 

Ø      Illness, Absence must be verified by my sighting, or the Office of Undergraduate Studies stating that they have received appropriate documentation of an original copy of a medical excuse. (I do not want to know the nature of the illness, only a note stating you were unable to attend class that week signed by a doctor with his or her number on it).

 

Ø      An emergency, I must have a letter from the Office of Undergraduate Studies stating that they have received appropriate documentation.

 

 

For university policy, go to the Undergraduate Academic Policy Reminders Page: https://www.albany.edu/undergraduate_studies/policy_reminders.html

3. Assessment

There are no essays or tests for this course. Time allocation for this course is three-hours outside of class for each hour in class. You should allow eight to nine hours per week for this course outside of class.

 

Your assessment for this course will be made up of these three components:

 

1)     Weekly Readings   30%    DUE WEEKLY each Thursday (10 weeks times 3 points. Estimated time for reading and viewing of material is three-hours per week.

 

2)     Weekly Discussion            18%    DUE 5 PM Friday each week.

 

3)     Journal                      32%    DUE Tuesday, October 8th, WEEK 6 (16 %) and November12th, WEEK 11 (16 %). Eight weeks times 4 points each equals 32 points/percent. Estimated time for finding and writing up material is three-hours per week.

 

 

4)     Group presentation 20%  DUE Thursday November 21 and December 05. Estimated time for preparation is two-hours per week. 

 

A) Weekly e-discussion Due each Friday 5 PM.

 

Beginning with week three (September 17th) and for each week until week 13th you will be required to contribute to our online discussion group. THE URL FOR THIS WILL BE GIVEN IN CLASS IN WEEK TWO. Marking will attract two points: one point will be a result of saying anything on the topic and one extra point will come from responding to something someone else said. This will mean that you will need to return to the bulletin board later in the week. The question for the week will be posted each Monday AM, and will be based on the weekly topic. My suggestion is that you answer the question early in the week and return to the discussion board later in the week and read what your peers wrote then write a response to what they said. For example:

 

COM378 Discussion Board: Read a Post

 

Topic: Week Three: Discuss in two-three sentences something you did this week that was a result of globalisation -

Message: This week I had a gut-full of participating in the sweat factory practices of multinational companies who exploit Third-World countries so I can look as kool as other people my age and cleaned out my closet and drawers only to realise I would be lecturing in the nude this semester. After a re-think I discovered I was helping employ people who had no income by buying a new set of clothes at the Gap.

Message: Your reasoning is really faulty. Should I pay you one dollar a day whilst you work a 12-hour day in horrible conditions and then deduct 95-cents of that so you can use the loo twice a day so you can look ‘kool’? I think it would be better if you sent people in Cambodia a television so they can watch the World Series than to abuse them with sweatshop work. Now that is globalisation at work.

 

B) Weekly Reading DUE each Thursday 1 PM.   

 

Total mark for the semester for assignment one is 30%

 

Each week there will be required readings or activities. These will be available a week in advance. For example, readings for WEEK TWO (September 10-16) will be available online beginning September 02. Each week there will be several questions relating to the required reading or online viewings. You will need to answer these questions and hand your answer up at the beginning of the Thursday class of the week they are due.

 

Marks will be awarded in this segment as follows:

 

Questions answered satisfactorily each week, handed up in time (see above)  /33 (Each week 3 marks can be earned). Two points will be for answering the questions and one extra point for answering the questions extremely well! MISSED ASSIGNMENTS CAN ONLY BE ACCEPTED IF THERE IS A DOCTOR’S CERTIFICATE

 

C) Journal DUE WEEK 6 and 11   

 

Due Date: Tuesday, October 8th (Journal Part 1) and Tuesday, November 12th  (Journal Part 2)

 

Total mark for the semester for assignment two is 40%

 

Your journal will cover an eight-week period beginning with the second week of classes, September 09 (the week being from Sunday to Saturday) through to November 02. The week of November 03 to 09 you will have to format your journal to hand up at the beginning of class on Tuesday, November 12th. The journal must be done on a weekly basis, as the date of the material used will coincide with the week of the entry as explained below.

 

Your journal will be a weekly record of current topics on globalisation. Each week, beginning with week two (September 08) of this semester, find something that mentions or references globalisation. It can be an article from a printed source such as a newspaper or magazine or a story on television or from the Internet. The story could be about how different culture’s menus are appearing in your local deli. It can be a story on world music, the World Bank, or on the exploitation of the Third World to manufacture goods bought in your local shop. There is rarely a day that goes by where something about how cultures are mixing with business, ideas or world events is not discussed.

 

For your journal, cite the article correctly (see example below), then  type the first paragraph or two if it is a print or Internet story.  If it is from television or radio, cite the source correctly then outline it briefly. What is important is that the story is from the week of the entry and that the source is noted. Following the title and a synopsis, you are to write your own thoughts on the story. There are no right or wrong answers but you need to give a reason for your views of the story. Each journal entry needs approximately two hundred words.  For example:

 

WEEK ONE

 

Jameson, Tonya. (2002) Hip-hop rediscovers its political punch, Albany Times Union, August 25, 2002, p.15. 

 

‘ Hip-hop culture has infiltrated entertainment, shaping how we dress, talk and see the world…

 

As this story shows, hip-hop has been a global voice of youth for the past decade. The youth ‘culture’ has embraced several aspects that are associated with hip-hop such as music (rap), art (graffiti/piecing), clothing and world-views. For example, in Australia….

 

 

Your weekly entry could be about music such as how hip-hop music has become a point of protest for youth throughout the world much as folk music was in the 1960s. This specific topic on youth music and protest will be addressed in week seven. It could be about sports. For example, I have a son who was born in and grew up in Australia which is a cricket and football (Aussie-rules) mad country but he played baseball and is now a pitcher in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. Baseball is a minor sport in Australia so this could be an illustration of how sports are globalised. In other words your weekly entries can be on what interests you as long as it was in the news that specific week. I would suggest using different sources for your journal entries such as, one week you may decide to use an article from a newspaper and another week a story from television or the Internet. THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE EACH WEEK AND SHOULD NOT TAKE MORE THAN ONE -HOUR PER WEEK.

 

Weekly marking for your journal (5 marks per week) will be based on the following formula:

Journal presentation guidelines:

 

  1. Word processed! If you use a picture such as a cartoon to illustrate your journal entry for a particular week or in your essay it may be pasted in.
  2. Put your full name in the header of each page and PART ONE.
  3. One and a half space with appropriate citations and reference pages. See: ‘How to Cite Bibliographic Entries and In-Text Citations Electronic Sources MLA Style’ at the end of the guide for this course or use the library resources.
  4. Printed on one side of the page only.
  5. Written in an easily readable font (e.g. New York, Times Roman) and in a 12-point font.
  6. Spell and grammar checked and proofread.
  7. Numbered at the bottom of each page.
  8. Given a properly filled in cover sheet to be used as the first page of each assignment. Photocopy the last page of this course information booklet.
  9. Stapled in the top left-hand corner.

Submitted by the deadline. Minus one-half point for each day late.

 

Journal grading

 

Your journal grade will represent 32 percent of your final grade (Part-one will equal 16 percent) and will be made up as :

 

1)     One-half-point for the weekly entry cited properly,

2)     One-half-point for presentation according to the above criteria,

3)     Adequate discussion will be worth one-point,

4)     a well-developed discussion with the reason for your view will be worth two-points, 

 

Part One is due Tuesday, October 15th, WEEK 07.

 

After four weeks, on Tuesday, October 15th the first four weeks of your journal will be due. You will receive it back the following Tuesday (October 15th) with your grade for the first half of your journal.

 

Part Two is due Tuesday, November 19, WEEK 11.

 

D) Group presentation DUE WEEK 12 - 14

 

Presentations will be done between Thursday November 21 and (Week 12, Thursday November 28 school is closed) December 05.

 

Thursdays the class will go into cluster-groups. The weekly group-session provides an opportunity to discuss the issues and concepts raised in the Tuesday lecture and in the readings and viewings for the week as well as exchanging entries in your journal.

 

These groups will be formed on our first Thursday together and will be made up from the enrollment sheet. Doing this gives interactivity in the class that may be different than if individuals picked their mates for the group.  The groups will have approximately five students in each.

 

One of the aims of the cluster group sessions is to maximize the use of your time. Working as a small group often makes it easier to get involved in class discussions, rather than struggling for airspace in our class of 45 or so students and helps with the speaking out in a new setting.

 

Each cluster group will make one presentation within the broad areas that are indicated in the study guide on either Thursday November 21 and December 05.

 

Presentations can be formal or informal, depending on the style with which your group feels more comfortable. They can be as simple as generally introducing the topic with each member in the group presenting material, such as a video or music. Your group may present a drama or video to illustrate your group’s work. Marks will be based on the group presentation and will be one-half peer-assessed: each student will be given a list of each group and each individual in it and will be expected to give marks on different areas of the presentation. The peer-assessed marks will equal 25% and my marking of each student will equal 75% of the presentation (which is worth 27 percent of your final grade). Marking of it will be discussed later in the course.

 

I expect your group presentations to extend beyond the original texts by introducing evidence of wider research, and using examples to illustrate the theoretical concepts that are discussed.

 

4. Course Expectations

It is a minimum requirement for this course that you attend and participate in all Tuesday lectures and Thursday groups as well as do the three assignments above. 

 

This course encourages independent research and it is a minimum expectation that you spend at least 8 hours per week outside of class for weekly-readings, assignments and sourcing current events on globalisation for your journal.

The expected outcomes for students who successfully complete A COM 378T 1326 are:

5. Weekly Reading

Readings

You will locate and access readings each week by going to the week of the class. All readings and viewings will have links to theURL. Readings must be completed before the Tuesday class, as you will need to be prepared to discuss issues from the readings in both the Tuesday lecture and Thursday group discussions.

Note: Because of the fluidity of the Internet the article may not be available the week it is due to be read. Therefore, it is imperative that you go to the reading for the week the week prior to its due viewing.

(Thursday) Group discussion: what communities do you belong to? (i.e. Sports, Social, Groups…)

Week Two Group worksheet. This week’s topic is multiculturalism.

The word ‘culture’ has its roots in the ancient Latin word cultura, "cultivation" or "tending." The 1960 Webster's a definition of culture is: 1. The cultivation of soil. 2. The raising, improvement, or development of some plant, animal or product" (Friend and Guralnik 1958). By the 1970s culture was coming to mean "the training, development, and refinement of mind, tastes, and manners" (Oxford English Dictionary). Now it is meant more to be. The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought that are embraced by a group of people. 

 

I.                     What makes an American an American?

i.e. birth, Greencard, parents, acceptance of views/products, immigration…?

III.                  Is someone from Canada or Central America or South America an American? ___________________________________________________

IV.               What are some groups you belong to?  Social, religion, sports, ethnicity, peers… ___________________________________________________

What are some of the rules of the group? ________________________________________________________

 

Who determines the rules ________________________________________________________

Is there a caste system or class system in the States? Like being middle-class, old-money, new-money, sexual behaviours, political – divisions of others sorts…. Are these the basis for sub-culture?How do several subgroups become a larger group? For example what are four subgroups that make up what would be considered the youth movement (world-wide) ________________________________________________________

Kenya look boost Test bid

11/09/2002 12:31  - (SA) South Africa 

Brian Murgatroyd

Colombo - Kenya coach Sandip Patil is hoping that a strong showing by his team at the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy will strengthen the country's case for elevation to full Test status.

"The talent in this team deserves Tests but it's not in our hands," said Patil ahead of Thursday's start to the 12-team tournament, which is being hosted by Sri Lanka.

"Our job is to play good cricket, to put the scores on the right track and that will push our case and make it stronger. It's up to the ICC to recognise that talent but I'm sure Kenya deserves Test status."

Kenya's application to become the 11th Test-playing country has already been lodged with the ICC and is being reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Week 5 The Media, History of writing

October 1-7

(Tuesday)

Communications. The Media, History of writing (IF THERE IS TIME)

Journal

Go to a foreign chat site – try one of these larger foreign servers:

https://www.alamak.com/login.phtml

https://www.chatinternational.com/

or find one in Yahoo, Excite etc.

 

In the chatroom carry on a discussion with others. When you have finished your chat (it should have lasted at least an hour) discuss five things you have discovered about the other person’s culture, this could be the result of a number of people talking about anything or a few – but get past the ‘hi’ ‘any girls in here’ stage and talk about a topic that has something to do with globalisation.  For your journal you will need to save the whole log of the conversation. I realise this could be a few hundred lines long. [Note: if you are using a java chatroom you will not be able to cut and paste the log. You will either have to type out your dialogue the best you can plus capture a screen shot by holding (at the same time) alt+shift+printscreen to capture and Shift+Insert to save it for printing.]

NOTE: If you cannot find a chat site for the country your group is doing then find another one. What I want is for you to communicate with someone with a different mind-set and background than yourself.

 

This will be the last week of the Part One half of this assignment. There will be no assignment due during week six – you will have that week to format and assemble your journal. How that should be done will be in next week’s assignment.

 

Discussion Board:

 

Discuss in a few sentences what communicative or media device you use to interact with another culture or country (i.e. phone, Internet (chat, e-mail, discussion etc), post (mail), webTV etc. and why Secondly respond to something someone else has written. (1-point)

 

Tuesday Class

The topic will be ‘How the media reports the news’. As we are discussing globalisation it is important to be aware of how we see other cultures and countries. See: MEDIA IN THE MIDST OF WAR https://www.tbsjournal.com/; The Information Revolution in the Arab World https://www.georgetown.edu/research/arabtech/mch397.htm; Questions from readings

Your biological footprint

    2. What are some of your personal reflections on how your life may affect other ‘less-prosperous’ societies?

 

For example print the whole page including how many earth-like planets it would take for everyone to live like you do.

2. Information and communication technologies

From web viewing,  Bechtel, Marie-Franise. Public Administration between Globalisation and Decentralisation.  Istanbul, TURKEY, 17-20 JUNE 2002 https://www.iiasiisa.be/schools/aeistanbul/KeynBechtelA.pdf

Do new information and communication technologies introduce changes in the exercise of democracy, notably with reference to globalisation and decentralisation that they facilitate?

3. Compare news stories

You will need to go to the follow five sites. Each one has an entirely different (agenda?) way of telling ‘the way it is’ in the world NEW SITE = JULY 2014 - https://neuage.us/2014/July/ - Today. Write a few sentences on whether you believe the news source is telling the truth and you would trust their reporting of current affairs.

This will be due for 17 October. (though this is your Part-Two of your journal and will be due November 12th – but it needs to be done this for Tuesday 17 October for Class discussion.

 

Look up some definitions; if possible find different ones.

Choose ONE of these two areas and be prepared to engage in a class debate on this on Thursday 17 October. Write notes for yourself to help you in the debate. Be prepared to take either side. You will need to submit this to me as your journal entry. You will receive one point for engaging the topic, one point for citing at least three sources and two- points possible for a 300-word (approximately) discussion of your findings.

 

                       

TOPIC #1

1. What is world music?

2. Do you think ethnic cultures suffer from being grouped together in a genre called ‘World Music’?

TOPIC #2

Piracy of music is a problem. Do you pirate music? Do you have an ethical problem with that? If so, why, and if not why not? (don’t be concerned I am not with the cyberpolice)

 

The debate topic could be

            “ I pirate music by burning CD copies and I don’t feel it is wrong”

Consider the following in your thinking and research

            The role of the musician/composer

            The role of recording companies

           

Be prepared to back your arguments with some articles. I am not only interested in your own opinions; they should be supported with ‘evidence’.

 

A useful site is

 

https://www.isop.ucla.edu/lac/bibliography-music.htm

1.       Sports –

 

    1. How is the number one sport of your country (of course you have to find that part out yourself) been affected by stereotypes of Western cultural sports?  Look at how sports are portrayed in your country currently and how they have changed from their traditional portrayal (for example, for Japan look at kendo, judo, or aikido then at Jackie Chan)
    2. Is (are) the traditional sport of your country an Olympic sport? What does this say for the sport(s) in question and globalisation?

 

 

Readings

Where Food Crops Originated and GM foods

Question 1. From the two sources above or any other source, list three foods that you eat tell what country they had their origins in and whether they are likely candidates for GM foods.

Week 9  The Internet and Cyber Identities 

GO TO WEEK NINE (October 29-November 4) ONLINE FOR LINKS

 

Journal

From the CyberAnthropology Page: https://www.fiu.edu/~mizrachs/cyberanthropos.html pick any one of the links in the categories of: Theory, Reflections, Praxis, Cyborg Eschatology, Predictions, AnthroFuturism, AnthroFuturism or Ethnogenesis and analyse the material in respect to how people in different cultural groupings would view it. (At the end of the day it really is just a bunch of anti-language so you should be able to go pass the words and read the techno-centerness of the author(s).

 

For example if you are using the article ‘TECHGNOSIS, INFOMYSTICISM, AND THE WAR AGAINST ENTROPY’ from Cyborg Eschatology  at https://www.fiu.edu/~mizrachs/techgnosis.html - reference it and relate it to the Internet, globalisation and discuss how someone from a different cultural background that had no knowledge of the Internet or cyberspace would view the article. WHAT IN THE ARTICLE YOU READ MADE IT PARTICULARILY WESTERN? For example is there an assumption that anyone can relate to the material presented or only those in the same mindset?  I would expect about three to four hundred words.

 

(Tuesday October 29) TOPIC:

The Internet and Cyber Identities

Discussion Board:

Discuss whether the Internet should be regulated and censored.

 

Reading

There are three readings on Internet chatrooms below. Read and critique two of the readings and discuss how chatrooms create a space where one can mold him or her self into anything – without boundaries and discuss whether these three readings pertain to people in Western/First World cultures or would they hold true in an Indigenous culture also?

Week 10  Television and movies how the world sees each other

GO TO WEEK TEN (November 5-11) ONLINE FOR LINKS

Journal

There is only one assignment for this week’s journal – but it is a lot of work and I would expect 500 + words plus your references (which do not count as word count)

 

Using your group’s country find what is a top movie, sitcom or play particular to that country and discuss (you are now a movie review critic) how culture identity (of that country’s culture) is affected by globalisation. You may need to translate the site (as I showed in class last Thursday) – there are several site translators (each worse than the one before – so you will have to figure out what the site is saying on your own) such as

Altavista’s Babelfish Translation https://world.altavista.com/

Google’s stie translator  https://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en

and some will translate better or more languages than others. Most search engines have a ‘translate this page’ message if it is not in English.

 

  1. Please cite any URL’s authors – date accessed etc that you use – including the translator. If you speak the language and translate yourself all the better (list yourself as translator); the one I used in class - https://www.humanitas-international.org/newstran/index.html
  2. Do not just describe but write an essay – argue that your groups country’s culture is or is not affected  by globalisation
  3. For example, a movie now playing in Japan is WELCOME BACK MR. McDONALD (Japanese): A farcical sitcom set in a Tokyo radio station which takes some shots at Japan's rigid social codes. Kyoka Suzuki plays a sappy housewife whose romantic play is chosen to be broadcast over the radio.  "With its zany humor and hysterical (yet logical) leaps into the absurd, WELCOME BACK, MR. McDONALD exposes the fissures in Japan's much-vaunted social apparatus, particularly the collective decision-making process...and the (misguided?) appropriation of American culture." - Noah Cowan (Toronto Film Festival)
  4. Print out the translated page and include it with your journal if you use a translator.

 

If you were reviewing this film you may write a review as Cowan did above. This will mean that you will need to do some research – you will be doing secondary research as you most likely will not have seen the movie. However, if you are doing England – and you watch an English sit-com on the telly such as ‘Keeping up appearances’ or ‘Neighbours’ (Australia) you can write on them.

 

There is more work in this than the others – that is because there is only this and next week’s journal to do and you have until 03 December to hand it up – do not wait until the last moment –

 

Discussion Board

Discussion Board: Discuss whether American sitcoms or movies portray other cultures differently than the way they are (1/2 point). Give an example explaining whether it seems accurate or not (1/2 point).
