Economics & Globalization - LEE GEONYONG

  How globalization affects the economy Globalization changed how business works. Companies don't stay in one country anymore. They sell products everywhere. They also make products in different places to save money. Trade between countries grew a lot. Korea exports cars and phones. We import oil and food. Money moves across borders fast. What happens in Wall Street affects the Korean stock market the next day. Your smartphone tells the story Look at your smartphone. It's a perfect example of global economy. The design might come from California. The screen is made in Korea. The camera parts come from Japan. Workers in Vietnam or China put everything together. Then it gets shipped worldwide. No single country makes the whole phone. Each country does what it costs less or what they do best. This is how modern economy works. Everything is connected. The benefits Economic globalization makes things cheaper. Competition between countries keeps prices down. We can buy more st...

Politics & Globalization - LEE GEONYONG

  How globalization affects countries Countries used to work alone. Now they have to work together. A problem in one country can spread to others quickly. Think about COVID-19. It started in one place but became everyone's problem in months. Governments can't just think about their own people anymore. What happens in another country matters. The economy is connected. If factories close in China, people in America lose jobs. If Europe makes new rules, companies in Korea have to follow them. Countries form groups to solve problems together. The UN tries to keep peace. The WHO handles health issues. Trade agreements let products move between countries. Governments meet and make decisions that affect millions of people. Climate change as a global issue Climate change shows how politics became global. Pollution doesn't stop at borders. Carbon emissions from China affect the air in Seoul. Forests burning in Brazil impact the whole planet. No single country can fix this alon...

Culture & Globalization - LEE GEONYONG

  What is culture? Culture is the way people live. It includes the food we eat, the language we speak, the music we listen to, and the clothes we wear. Culture is also about traditions, holidays, and how we behave with others. Every country has its own culture. Even different cities can have different cultures. For me, culture is what makes a place special. It's the street food in Seoul, the festivals we celebrate, the way we greet each other. Culture is our identity. How globalization changes culture Globalization makes cultures mix together. Now we can watch American movies, listen to K-pop, and eat Japanese food all in one day. Foreign brands are everywhere. Starbucks, Zara, and Netflix exist in almost every country. Sometimes cultures become more similar. Young people around the world wear similar clothes – jeans, sneakers, hoodies. They use the same apps like Instagram and TikTok. They listen to global pop music. But globalization also makes people curious about other cu...

What is Globalization? - LEE GEONYONG

Globalization is basically the world becoming more connected. People, products, and ideas now move across borders much faster than before. It's like the world is getting smaller, even though it's not. Think about your daily life. You probably eat food from different countries – pizza from Italy, tacos from Mexico, or ramen from Japan. You might wear clothes made in Bangladesh or Vietnam. You watch Netflix shows from Korea, America, or Spain. Your phone was designed in California but made in China. This is globalization in action. Why did it happen? Technology changed everything. The internet lets us talk to someone on the other side of the world instantly. Airplanes can deliver packages in days, not months. Companies can now sell their products everywhere. McDonald's is in over 100 countries. K-pop fans exist in every corner of the globe. Information spreads fast through social media. The good side Globalization gives us more choices. We can try new things, learn about...
