globalization and identity


The identities become more diversity since the world is globalized. There are more skin color than just white, black, yellow, or brown. There are a lot of mixed skin color. And there are still a lot of people who are white inside but colored outside. Such as Oreo, people who are black but white inside; coconut, people who are brown but white inside; and banana, people who are yellow but white inside. They are more comfortable with white culture and language than their own ethnic group. We call those kind of people "Ethnic flight".

But some people complain those "Ethnic flight" that they should know about their own ethnic culture and language, since they are not white.

There is no right or wrong, it just happened.

globalization and education


Education is a really important factor of globalization, especially in the modern society. Nowadays, if you want to survive, live a good live, you should be educated. and you have more competitors since globalized, not just the people in your school, city, and country; the whole world is your competitor.

Education is helpful to the development of a country. It can make the country become wealthier and wealthier. but there are something I consider about.

I admit that education will bring a country wealth, but is that good everybody is educated? Let's say everybody is well educated, but there are only a certain amount of jobs, so who is gonna be hired, and who is gonna be fired?

Avatar in China


There is a news about how popular Avatar is in China. This news shows that how our lives were influenced by globalization.

Couple years before, Chinese government didn't allow foreign movies play in China. Since globalization is speeding in whole world, Chinese government changed policy of importing foreign movies. Nowadays, Chinese government will pick some famous movies to play in China, but not all. It is improved a lot compared with before, even just few foreign movies were picked.

Also, Chinese people accept Avatar culturally. Chinese people didn't go to movie theatre to watch movie that often before, but since globalization affect our lives, people more like to go to movie theatre to watch foreign movies.

From this news, we can see that globalization really affect our daily lives deeply. Until now, there are still a lot of Chinese people are dying to see Avatar.
