Week 6 - Response 2 - POL Chapter 10

In chapter 10 of the textbook Practices of Looking, the main topic of discussion is the growth of globalization. This growth occurred due to the space travels made by U.S and the Soviet Union in the 1960s. To put it simply, globalization refers to the interaction and the integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations. When satellites launched into space was able to take photographs of the earth, a new embrace of the globe took place. It is because of these satellites that globalization occurred as it has brought all sides of the world together nearly instantly through the broadcast of images, radio, television shows and etc. By showing the nations all over the world similar, if not the same networks, culturally, people were able to get together and work on projects that incorporated other cultures of their own. Such is the reason for the existence of shows like Avatar the Last Airbender which was an American made show that incorporated Asian culture such as martial arts into the show or Panty and Stocking which was a Japanese made show making fun and incorporating American ideas.
