Globalization!

Globalization can be seen as the mixing of various ideas, languages, cultures, people, an even nations. This bond eventually forms some type of connection globally that creates an impact on various media. Better opportunities for communication are made throughout these places. As we continue to grow in our technological world with a thing called 'The Internet,' we can see how easy it is for the idea of globalization to be seen in full effect. Globalization is usually seen as being driven by a mix of economic, sociocultural, political, and technological factors.

One example of Globalization that can be seen is cultural imperialism, which is the idea that with the bonding of different people and nations, many cultures eventually become the same. An example of this is Anime books. These books originated in Japan for all of the Manga fanatics, however eventually over a time a culture formed in the United States, creating a rise in popularity, therefore a rise in demand and supply from Japan.

Today, many can see how much of an impact these Japanese books have had on the United States as we can see many of these books in local retailers and various other stores. The Western World has shown a true love and popularity for this famous comic-style book as many are hooked on reading these 'backward books' that are written about characters that face drama and other various conflicts. Some anime has even taken the next step to being made into television shows here in the Unted States. Some examples of these shows include Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z, and Bleach. This Globalization shows how with the power of money comes to the power to create different media for various countries. There truly is no boundaries when it comes to globalization.
