According to Kim (2007), the Korean Wave can be applied to many aspects, aside from making a more profitable economy for the country. The term Korean Wave gives it a generic definition which symbolized the “Korean-ness” of their cultural products, but more importantly, the nationalistic sentiment that made Korea a big hit not just in Asia, but the rest of the world. Aside from the popularity of the K-pop groups, the Korean cultural products became global success due to their uniqueness and fame (Kim, 2007). Hyun-key Kim (2013, p.135) stated that the term “Korean Wave” or otherwise known as “hallyu” in Korean ...

Christopher Columbus and "Globalization" in the early modern world
Globalization is by no means a phenomenon invented in the twentieth century, particularly with reference to cultural exchanges. Globalization is much more than a commodities exchange across national borders. It is a phenomenon which denotes the flow and bartering of knowledge, commodities, values, specimens and people on a global scale. It is fast replacing the societal identity of nationality with globality. Most historians attach the origin of globalization to the year 1492, when ‘Columbus’ stumbled upon America in his search for trade route to Asia. But even as early as thousand years before ...

Argumentative Essay: “Myth of Asian Superiority”
Ronald Takaki’s “Harmful Myth of Asian Superiority” offers arguments why Asian Americans do not live up to the stereotypical “model minority,” that is, attribution of positive traits to this particular race.

Some of Takaki’s queries about the issue were answered straightforwardly in this essay, while others were not. Hence, this paper would like to argue whether ...

This spontaneous exponential growth can be attributed to population dynamics (nearly two third of the world’s population resides in Asia), economic markets and or/socio-political conditions (a fusion of capitalism and socialism/communism) and the work ethic of these Asian cultures among. This paper shall ascertain the role of each of these three major factors in the increased economic growth rate in ...

While there seems to be nothing to unhinge the economic development, whether in a global or regional context, now that military conflicts are history. Countries engage in mutually profitable trade relationships and enter into trade blocs, conduct strategic planning, develop their respective economies; however, a miscalculation on the part of one country can precipitate the entire region into economic crisis that inflicts all types of damage on the productive capacity, exports, and social welfare. The Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 was one of such regional disturbances that did serious economic damage to countries like China, Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The reason ...

Given the increasing globalization of the film industry, Hollywood directors have begun to pull increasingly from international sources for their creative output. Looking into the small-but-potent international film markets, often directors from other countries are given the opportunity to cross-over into Hollywood. This is certainly the case with Asian cinema; many Asian film directors who have achieved success in Japan and Hong Kong have been given the chance to make films in America in order to provide a rapidly-consuming film market with the variety and quality it desires. In the 1980s and 1990s, two Asian directors in particular crossed over ...

Chinese Politics - Will China's Rise to Economic Global Dominance be Peaceful?

Introduction
Political stability correlates with the economic development in the country.

The developments in China have taken storm over the world as all the sectors have risen to compete at the world’s highest economic level. However, China will sustain the economic growth and maintain peace in the country at the same time. This paper argues on the possibility of challenges in maintaining ...

Democracy, Rights, and Empire

Thesis
Europe has seen it all; revolutions, plague, recession, famine, revolts, and invasions, and this was why, when opportunity came knocking at their doors, the few powerful nations of Europe, adventured to expand and control their business interests far from their shores. In order to understand how and why this transpired, one needs to go back in time and understand Europe as it was in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Background

The Rise of Europe between 1500 and 1850 was largely accounted for by the growth of European nations which shared their borders with the Atlantic, and in particular, ...

The Chinese have long been accused of manipulating their currency to further serve their economic gains. The rest of the world, perhaps understandably, reacts badly to currency manipulation, as it is seen as the equivalent of “cheating” in the game of international economics. China is often reviled by the rest of the world because, unlike many other countries that pay lip service to traditional economic and political conventions, China has a tendency to act without thought to conventions. Even American presidential candidate Mitt Romney accused China of “cheating” at international economics and declared that if he became president, he would ...

Identity in the United States

Identity is a major challenge in the society today, including the developed countries. Identity can be related to differences in ethnicity, skin color, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or any other markers. In Ronald Takaki’s article “The Harmful Myth of Asian Superiority,” and Stanley Fish’s “When ‘Identity Politics’ Is Rational,” they discuss the identity issues in American society in relation to the aforementioned markers. While the first article compares the Asian American to other Americans in terms of economic prosperity such as income levels, Stanley Fish compares the differences in identity politics across American populations with major inclination toward ...

Following the Second World War in which the United States played a key role, there was a significant change in the nation’s foreign policy in the East Asia.

The defeat and subsequent surrender of Japan prompted the US to put the East Asian country under its control to help rebuild it. This writer argues that internal politics in Korea and Japan, as well as events in China played a key role in shaping the US foreign policy ...

Evolutions in Terrorism need Evolutions in Approach

Introduction
Terrorism being a highly volatile phenomenon with constantly changing facets, has been a challenge to scholars to define. While the term was once associated with honour and the struggle for freedom, it is today viewed in an extremely negative light.

Terrorists are generally viewed as psychopaths and lunatics who are driven by personal agenda, resorting to violence against innocents in order to vent ...

Having dark skin does not necessarily mean that a person is from Africa or even that they consider themselves ‘black’ at all, and in fact the entire question of what ‘dark’, ‘black’, ‘brown’ or ‘white’ really means has varied a great deal throughout history and different societies. None of the Aborigines of Australia of the Maori of New Zealand were considered Africans, although they were certainly treated as second-class citizens, much as the Native Americans were. In India, the dark-skinned people of the Deccan Plateau and the Untouchables and Dalit were not Africans, although they also suffered considerable discrimination. In Brazil ...

Discovery of Americas and its Impact on Commerce, Navigation, and Industrialization

Introduction
The European exploration efforts and the subsequent discovery of the Americans was in the simplest terms, a capitalistic venture. Of course, it was accidental, but its primary goal had been to find a new sea route to the orient. The European desire to make more profits by cutting out the Arabs and Turkish nations from the trade is typical of any capitalistic venture. In addition, the idealistic desire to expand the horizons of the European reach coupled with the optimistic search for a completely new way of reaching the Orient was demonstrated in the efforts of Columbus and ...

When Constantine the Great established the city of Constantinople in 330 A.D., he re-constituted the old Roman order along a new East/West axis. Henceforth, the beleaguered empire would be administered from two capitals, but few could foresee that this arrangement would create a religious and political schism that would make rivals of the two great cities. Gradually, the Byzantines eclipsed Rome by virtue of Constantinople’s mighty walls and the city’s ...

Ningbo’s newly completed Central Business District (CBD) belies its status as one of China’s oldest cities.

As one would be aware that Capitalism is the form of an economic system that dominates the world these days. This system has evolved out of human’s natural trading process.
