ACTIVITY 1: PICTURE ANALYSIS

The media has a significant effect on cultural globalization in two forms that are mutually
dependent: To begin with, the media facilitate the widespread transnational dissemination of cultural
goods, and they also aid in the establishment of communicative networks and social systems.
Established media companies face a challenge from the increasingly increasing availability of media
offerings resulting from a foreign media community.
The sheer amount of supply, as well as the massive technical infrastructure and financial
resources that propels this supply forward, have a profound effect on local patterns of cultural
consumption and prospects for independent cultural development. Global media communities foster
an ongoing cultural interaction in which critical issues such as identity, ethnicity, and religion are
discussed. These cultural experiences also include the meeting of communities from various
socioeconomic backgrounds, with a transnational and commercial cultural industry on one side and a
national, publicly controlled cultural industry on the other.

ACTIVITY 2: EVALUATION / ASSESSMENT

Global Media culture explores the relationship between the media, culture and globalization. The
course approaches past and current challenges concerning international communication and explores
and problematizes the power of media representation. The media have a significant effect on cultural
globalization in two aspects that are mutually dependent: first, they include widespread transnational
dissemination of cultural goods, and second, they contribute to the establishment of communicative
networks and social systems.
2. How does globalization affect contemporary culture?
Culture globalization promotes the sharing of common ideals between countries and the integration of
customs. Cultural globalization is described by the integration of corporate and market cultures
around the globe, as well as the expansion of international contact.
3. How global media influence different cultures?
The media have a significant influence on cultural globalization in two mutually dependent ways: first,
they include comprehensive transnational dissemination of cultural goods, and second, they
contribute to the establishment of communicative networks and social structures. Media is affected by
society almost as much as the programming or stories that surround it. The media cannot be free of
cultural control. Culture offers information outlets for the media. All material, including entertainment,
news, and advertisements, is derived from culture.

ACTIVITY 3: BRAINSTORM
1. What is the globalization of religion?
Globalization changes the generic term "religion" into a world-system of overlapping and opposing
religions. This institutional specialization process has transformed local, complex, and fractured
cultural traditions into recognisable religious structures. Globalization refers to the historical process
by which all the world's people increasingly come to live in a single social unit.
It implicates religion and religions in several ways. Among the consequences of this implication for
religion have been what globalization encourages religious pluralism.
2. What is the role of globalization in religion?
Globalization transforms the generic 'religion' into a world-system of competing and conflicting
religions. This process of institutional specialization has transformed local, diverse and fragmented
cultural practices into recognizable systems of religion.
3. Why is religion important?
Religion helps in forming an ethical framework and also a regulator for values in day to day life. This
particular approach helps in character building of a person. In other words, Religion acts as an
agency of socialization. Thus, religion helps in building values like love, empathy, respect, and
harmony.

PICTURE ANALYSIS: GENERALIZATION

Global city, an urban centre that enjoys significant economic advantages and that
serves as a hub within a globalized economic system. The term has its origins in research on
cities carried out during the 1980s, which examined the common characteristics of the world's
most important cities.
Mobility is the ability to move or be moved freely and easily. Geographic mobility is the
measure of how populations and goods move over time. Geographic mobility, population
mobility, or more simply mobility is also a statistic that measures migration within a
population. ... These moves can be as large scale as international migrations or as small as
regional commuting arrangements.
The dynamics of global interactions among nations and regions present issues that affect all
humanity. These dynamics include: competing beliefs and goals; methods of engagement; and
conflict and cooperation. Contemporary issues have political, economic, social, historic and
geographic components. “Global cities” are and always have been both, products and
producers of globalization. They play an important role in shaping a global economy, culture
and society, but they are also shaped by it. And they are places where countervailing forces
match and local reactions to globalization become especially visible.

military and economics, controlling and adapting the route the global economy takes.
