Globalization can be defined as the way that people and communities of different nations can feel that they all share some of the same things and can some how relate.Through globalization people and communities are able to communicate and exchange ideas.This blog will give a concept that comes from globalization to show how it further affects people and communities in the world
  A concept that connects with globalization is cultural imperialism in which it seems that one nation or a big culture's, culture has a big influence on the world's culture/ people as a whole. Through cultural imperialism people and communities all over the world experience one of the same thing, whether it be movies, clothes, news, or music all have some type of stake hold in the culture that is being introduced and exposed to them. A good example from a media source that shows this well is that of the BBC, the BBC has it's news and shows shown throughout Europe as well as the United States (with it's BBC America) as well as some it's shows played on national geographic, KLRN, and the Discovery Channel. The reason that this media source illustrates the concept of cultural imperialism which connections with globalization is because all of what is being done in Europe/ Britain is being exposed to Americans, Japanese, Australians, Scotland, and Wales (few examples of where the BBC broadcasts).Therefore giving people who do not live in Europe or in Britain a sense of what life is like over there and a feeling of connection with people that they might meet who are from Britain
