Globalization: Beyond market and commerce

The term "Globalization" has dominated news headlines and academic books.

Globalization  has only become commonplace in the last three decades, and academic commentators who employed the term as late as the 1970s accurately recognized the novelty of doing so.

 At least since the advent of industrial capitalism, however, intellectual discourse has been replete with allusions to phenomena strikingly akin to those that have garnered the attention of recent theorists of globalization. 

Nineteenth and twentieth-century philosophy, literature, and social commentary include numerous references to an inchoate yet widely shared awareness that experiences of distance and space are inevitably transformed by the emergence of high-speed forms of transportation (for example, rail and air travel) and communication (the telegraph or telephone) that dramatically heighten possibilities for human interaction across existing geographical and political divides.

 Long before the introduction of the term globalization into recent popular and scholarly debate, the appearance of novel high-speed forms of social activity generated extensive commentary about the compression of space.

Most people think Globalization is a  "market or commercial" metaphor. But there are several variations of globalization:

1. Market globalization - the world interdependence in global commerce. A Nigerian Businessman could visit Italian Restaurant, use Cisco wifi to browse internet on his iphone developed in US. He may return home to watch English Premier League in a Korean TV.

2. Jihadist globalization - radical Islamic  movement aiming to globalize Islamic religion (even by force). ISIL and ISIS maiming activities were case in point.

3. Justice globalization - citizens of countries around the world have been demanding a just society from their Governments. "Black Lives Matter" was a good example.

4. Feminist globalization - The feminist believe that men dominates meeting and offices around the world. Women rarely have opportunities to occupy important positions...The belief has led to global movement to change this status quo.
