Globalization and Print Media?
397620
Demand for print is going to continue to drop for several reasons.  1) cost of delivery is higher for printed material than for electronic resources.  2) Institutions would rather store electronic versions rather than go to the trouble to bind and shelve printed media.  3) Students prefer to use electron versions over printed ones (haven't figured this one out yet). \nIf you haven't looked at the following links they may be of some use.  esp the last one.

Although many people don't see it this way it seems to me that globalization isn't something new. It's been around since as far back as Alexander the great. He tried to promote one culture, one language, one set of beliefs. Globalization cannot unfortunately be analyzed by saying this is good this is bad. It is always subjective. What I might see as a pro you might see as a con and the opposite. I believe for example Coca Cola should not be sold in third world countries; they hardly have enough water to drink. The Coca Cola business man sees it differently; he sees it as a developing market. That covers only one aspect of globalization but can to a certain extent be generalized.

Globalization affects the periphery countries very negatively. With things like structural adjustment programs forcing third world gov. to give up their soverignty there is very little a country can do to try and find there own sustainable way to grow their country. Since these countries are often exploited through investment and the labor practices of transnationals it shouldnt suprise anyone that discontent and instability is often a third world problem.

Could you clearly define "advertising"? Only in newspapers? Anywhere? Only the costs of the pure "information distribution" or also the production costs like desktop publishing and so on?\n\nAnd what should the information help you at all? Most advertisement still are a local thing - with the exception of very few really international websites.

Globalization can usefully be conceived as a process (or set of processes) which embodies a transformation in the spatial organization of social relations and transactions, generating transcontinental or interregional flows and networks of activity, interaction and power. \nIt is characterized by four types of change:\n- First, it involves a stretching of social, political and economic activities across political frontiers, regions and continents.\n- Second, it suggests the intensification, or the growing magnitude, of interconnectedness and flows of trade, investment, finance, migration, culture, etc.\n- Third, the growing extensity and intensity of global interconnectedness can be linked to a speeding up of global interactions and processes, as the evolution of world-wide systems of transport and communication increases the velocity of the diffusion of ideas, goods, information, capital, and people.\n- Fourth, the growing extensity, intensity and velocity of global interactions can be associated with their deepening impact such that the effects of distant events can be highly significant elsewhere and even the most local developments may come to have enormous global consequences. In this sense, the boundaries between domestic matters and global affairs can become increasingly blurred. \nIn sum, globalization can be thought of as the widening, intensifying, speeding up, and growing impact of world-wide interconnectedness. By conceiving of globalization in this way, it becomes possible to map empirically patterns of world-wide links and relations across all key domains of human activity, from the military to the cultural.\n\nFrom the pre-modern, through to the early modern (1500-1800), modern (19th to early 20th century), to the contemporary period, distinctive patterns of globalization can be identified in respect of their different systemic and organizational features - uneven as they often are. These patterns constitute distinctive historical forms of globalization. By comparing and contrasting these changing historical forms, it is possible to identify more precisely what is novel about the present epoch. \nAccordingly, to advance an account of globalization it is necessary to turn from a general concern with its conceptualization to an examination of the key domains of activity and interaction in and through which global processes evolve.

Well, globalization might as well BE called McDonaldization because McDonald's led the way in corporate globalization and the rest of the corporate world followed.

"Global localization" can refer to a broad-reaching or world-wide (global) strategy for the customization of materials to suit specific languages and locales (localization).\n\nIt can also refer to a local backlash in response to a perceived globalization "agenda" in a marketing campaign. That is to say, an increased focus on local traits/products in an effort to counteract the forces of globalization.

For one thing, it has caused more people to think of a "global economy". Older communication systems barely got past the "village economy", then the postal service and Sears Roebuck allowed a breakthrough into a national economy. As AT&T and the other wire services expanded advertising, a global economy developed. The World Wide Web has made searching for products and global sales easy and cheap. FedEx and UPS (as well as the old fashioned postal service) are able to keep shipping costs to a minimum. Translation is also a key part of the new communications economy as well, as English has become the dominant language for business.

I believe that globalization affects all, so in that regard I disagree with you. However, i believe that it is the rich people (haves) that are benefiting form the trend of globalization therefore marginalizing the poor (have nots). The reason for this belief lies in the fact the system of globalization is based on the fact the world is at different stages of development, what this means is that the disparity between the rich nations and the poor nations is so large that it is worth a Multi-National Corporations(MNCs) while to invest and "exploit" the population of a lesser developed national because they simply charge less for their labour. The rich people continue to have and get more while the poor people continue to rely on the rich (west) for handouts.

GLOBALIZATION\n\nThe politicians are being bribed to destroy America, we call these bribes campaign contributions. Monied interests who want to unify the Western Hemisphere into a single trade bloc from Canada to Chile have been supporting politicians who will make laws and policy decisions to bring about this goal. For years the ground work has quietly been laid, NAFTA, lax border enforcement, foreign aid to developing nations to impoversh those nations and make them subject to foreign money manipulation.\n\nWith the flood of illegals in the US the main opposition to this trade bloc, the US middle class, is being eliminated. Soon the middle class will vanish and there will be no group with the political will to resist the New World order being constructed against our interests.\n\nSo by allowing this massive influx of people into our nation it will destroy the middle class and stop the opposition for these trade blocs and ultimatly a New World Order.
