THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GLOBALIZATION

CHARATERISTICS OF GLOBALIZATION:

            1. Transparency and Limitless

There are the changes in all fields that can be happened rapidly and can cover all nations around the world like covering a wide territory. So each state and each of its residents have a chance to get the influence of the incoming of foreign cultures or the influences in all fields freely which can bring good effects and bad effects for each individual and the group itself in line with the supporting of advances in technology and information. The main role is a developed country where they do spread lot of information and they influence the developing countries. If we talk about the limitless or borderless, we can conclude that every country has the right to break the national obstacles. Each country may freely conduct diplomacy or cooperation with other countries, regardless of time and range. We also can openly see what happens out there without being limited by space and time.

              2.  Connectivity and Integration

These characteristic is marked by each region or country has been connected with the world by way of 'breaking' the national boundaries. Each individual and state start building a connection or link between one society to another, and also from one country to another country. In another word is about “International Cooperation” which consists of the existence of the multinational companies, regional and global organizations. There will be lot of corporations between those companies and the increasing of business performance. It also includes to the existence of international and international non-governmental organizations. We also usually see that there is the cooperation between governmental organization and the others organization that provided in its own country or another countries.

3. The Existence of Science and Technology

Nowadays, we often find independent people who are smart, creative, and critical. They start to create many ideas to support all of aspects that included in daily lives.  People have started to think critically, as well as no more think about taboos. They seemed to have started to think globally and more developed.

In this changes, will also happen the changes of space and time. We can see that the changes that already happened can be in all fields like for examples are transportations and communications. The changes of information technology also can give the effects to another fields like education, economics, politics, and also cultures, so not only in transportation and communication fields. Examples: now we easily do traveling around the world because of the presence of the more sophisticated aircraft technology that can take us to everywhere just only take a short time. Consequently, we can use this opportunity to raise some advantages from another country. The most changes of technology that can be felt now are there are many global and sophisticated communication medias like hand phones, satellite televisions, and also tablets that we can hold wherever we are. Those communication media will be increasingly felt if it is added with the presence of Internet as its supporter. With the existence of the science, we can develop the technology.

4. The Development of Mass Media and Culture Interaction

We can see that in the era of globalization is also characterized by the development of mass media and the increasing of cultural interaction. The development of the mass media for examples is through television, movies, music, and transmission international news and sports. Given the mass media, we easily learn, exchange information, and access other cultures outside of our culture. So that today we can feel a mixture of western and eastern cultures such as in the field of fashion and food. For example: in Indonesia has started popping up a lot of fast food restaurants which are brought by western culture such as: Pronto, Domino’s Pizza, Mc Donald’s, etc. Not only in the fields of food, we also can feel the incoming of the western music’s that already spread to Indonesia.

5. Globalization of Economic Activities

In this era of globalization began to appear a lot of free trade and the government here does not too control anymore about the trade. But they still provide the rules and regulation that guides the free trade. And now there is freedom of the businessman and factory owners to set up industry and trade either in their country or abroad. That is why nowadays we can see lot of the big industrials standing wisely on the top of our lands. There is also the free barter of investment, commodities, services, and technologies between all nations around the world.

6. Competition and Dependency between Developed Countries and Developing Countries

The strong flow of information and technology led to the intense of competitiveness. People who do not have the advantage will be eliminated and will be the target to the actors of the changes in the global situation. It can also occur in the State where there is a gap between today's developed countries and developing countries. Developed countries dominate the information flow in the world, so it causes the dependency among developing countries themselves.
