Globalization is the active process of technological development that perpetuates the exchange between nations. This sharing can be anything from ideas to manufactured goods. Due to the development of tools like the internet and the diffusion of devices that utilize the net, this interconnectedness has become more and more prevalent.
The idea of cultural imperialism has become an increasing focus of contention. Cultural imperialism is the process of the flow of culture from a main source to other susceptible outlets. Obviously, on the global scale is applies to countries. Communicative technologies are mostly responsible for this phenomenon. Its partner in crime can be any entertainment company that produces internationally. Disney is a prime suspect.
Since Disney's production spans over international borders they influence that culture and make that audience consumer's. But cultural imperialism, though unbalanced, still makes for diversity. Slumdog Millionaire is a perfect example of the reciprocal capabilities of globalization.
