Globalization is a process that is rapidly increasing and expanding around the world with the creation of effective and high powered digital media and devices. Globalization is the process of connecting everyone with each other no matter where on the earth you are located. The idea of globalization provides a rapid exchange of communication, which fosters the growth of many organizations and social connectedness in general.
Cultural imperialism is a term that describes one effect of globalization. Countries with more power and more technology will have more influence on other smaller and less powerful countries. This means that bigger and more technologically advanced countries will exert their countries influence on the other less advantaged countries, possibly causing infringement on local and even national culture.
(Rupert Murdoch- founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of News Corporation)
News Corporation is an excellent example of large conglomerates that exert their power and resources on other countries. While their influence may not be intentional, they are a main source for cable network programming, television, filmed entertainment, direct broadcast satellite TV, and publishing around the world. Because News Corporation has so many outlets, it is almost impossible to escape them. Being a United States conglomerate, News Corporate exerts an American and Western influence on many other nations of the world.
