Globalization

Globalization refers to the acceleration of global movements and exchanges (of people,
commodities and services, money, technology, and cultural practices). It is a progressive
process that intensifies interactions and flows between different regions of the planet.
Globalization is described in geography as the set of processes (economic, social, cultural,
technical, sociological, institutional, and so on) that contribute to the global interaction between
societies and individuals. The concept of "globalization" is still essential to modern political and
scholarly discussion. Recent social theory has developed a more specific understanding of
globalization than politicians and pundits generally give. Globalization is a hotly debated political
issue that has resulted in considerable conflicts and battles. Because globalization has far-
reaching ramifications for practically every aspect of human existence, it necessitates a
rethinking of important issues in political philosophy. It is the idea of how people and things may
move freely across borders, with minimal obstacles impeding the movement of goods and
services between states. There is also a cultural component as ideas and customs are
exchanged and absorbed.

We will approach global challenges from various viewpoints, where they will be able to
think and feel about the global world in an unpretentious manner. They will investigate and
comprehend its variety and sustainability as a means of becoming global thinkers and citizens.
Interdisciplined approach to globalization Introduces students to the area and methods of
international studies via globalization. Mandatory lectures, written material, conferences,
discussions, and student presentations are used to address the subject. This course will
improve your global consciousness by broadening your knowledge base. It broadens your
understanding of the significance of international studies of historical and current global issues.
The students examine the concept of globalization in today's multifaceted world and its various
sources. Courses will assist us in organizing our understanding of globalization within the
contexts of international migration flows, Diasporas, cross-border intercultural discussion,
knowledge mobility, and so on. We will use a comparative technique to examine national
cultural politics and the formation of national identities from a global viewpoint.

In sociology, we must know the relationship between ourselves and society in order to
comprehend our own selves. "The sociologically conceived imagery enables us to comprehend
history as well as biography and the connections between the two in society," Wright Mills writes
in his well-known work of the same title. The concept of sociological imagination simply states
that you are as an individual influences your local surroundings, your family, your friends, your
country, and the entire world. You may choose what to eat for lunch, but what you choose – a
tuna sandwich, lobster ravioli, or shrimp tacos – is affected in part by the culture you live in and
have grown up in. Large societal or public issues occur beyond of one's own control and the
scope of one's inner existence. These are broader organizational and procedural problems that
are focused on society rather than individuals. Students arrive at university as newbies, ill-
prepared to meet the rigors of academic life. The necessary adjustments were not commonly
questioned in secondary school. The majority of personal issues are influenced by society
norms, habits, and expectations. Consider the following issues: homelessness, crime, divorce,
and access to health care. Are these completely the result of personal or social choices? Using
sociological imagination, we may perceive these problems as interconnected personal and
national concerns.
 Many individuals associate the word state with the word country, or even believe the two
words to be synonyms. "State" is a political term that refers to a region that is structured for
people's protection. It is a legal entity that performs human acts. On the contrary, a country
tends to prioritize symbolic or emotional requirements above physical necessities. A state can
be multinational, but a country cannot be multinational. This means that a single state can
contain two or more nationalities. However, two countries cannot be one, which distinguishes a
nation from a state. Today's multinational nations include the United States, Russia, China, the
United Kingdom, Quebec in Canada, and Catalonia and Galicia in Spain. Although many
individuals confuse the terms nation and state, they are not interchangeable. A state is made up
of four components: the administration, the territory, the population, and the sovereignty. If one
of these elements is missing, the region cannot be termed a state. A nation, on the other hand,
may be described as a group of people who share a common culture and beliefs. A nation is
created as a result of shared racial, religious, linguistic, territorial, historical, cultural, or political
ambitions. These components are not necessary and are constantly changing. A state is a
political institution that orders, coerces, and punishes its inhabitants, but a country is supported
by spiritual, emotional, and moral force and appeals to its citizens. A state has police authority
and punishes those who misbehave, but a nation does not have strong authorities and must rely
on its people. Although the words "nation" and "state" seem similar, they are not the same.
Individual functions and characteristics of a state and a country might be utilized to distinguish
the two.
