Identity
These are the three big categories of how globalization affects people around the world
Political, Social and Economic
One of the goals of Canada's broadcasting rules is to showcase Canada's this - meaning the wide variety of cultures that are part of our globalized society.
cultural diversity
This is the movement of people, whether it's people moving in ("immigration") or people moving out ("emigration"). Both are shooting up as a result of globalization
Migration
This is a joking name for American culture spreading through globalization, especially consumerism and fast food. It's also the name attached to the source analysis paragraph you all wrote
McWorld
This is the name for the laws and organizations a country might establish to protect its own culture from being assimilated or homogenized by globalization
cultural protectionism
This factor of individual identity is about what you wear, and you can thank globalization for bringing you lots of it. From American blue jeans to Japanese Hello Kitty backpacks.
Attire
This early globalizing technology spread books and later newspapers all over Europe and other parts of the world cheaply and easily - a 500-year old Social Media platform
The Printing Press
One big consequence of globalization has been this - the rapid growth of massive cities, especially in South America, Africa and Asia, where most of the largest and fastest growing cities on Earth are.
Urbanization
Like "the Borg" from Star Trek, it's when a dominant culture shifts or changes a minority group to adopt the mainstream's culture of beliefs. Sometimes it's on purpose, like with Residential Schools. Sometimes it's not, like with American pop culture.
Assimilation
The CBC is the "Canadian Broadcasting Corporation". The French version, the SRC, is this...
The Societe Radio-Canada
These large corporations operate in multiple countries, often taking advantage of lower wages or more relaxed worker safety rules in poorer countries to make more money in richer ones.
Transnational corporations (or multinational corporations)
This is the term for when a product mixes up cultural inspiration from two or more global cultures. Like Butter Chicken Poutine.
Cultural Hybridization
When a society makes space for diverse beliefs and cultural practices. Like when the Baltej Dhillon case won the right for Sikh men to wear a uniform turban and still serve in the RCMP.
Accommodation
This is the belief that European culture and values and systems are better than others around the world. It's also the bias that puts Europe in the middle of the map
Eurocentrism
This organization has the mandate to promote Canadian Culture in broadcast media like TV and radio, and is responsible for you seeing so much "made in Canada" content on TV and in your feed.
The CRTC
This factor of your individual identity is about your groundedness. Your connectedness to nature. How closely you feel connected to the physical and natural environment you live in.
Relationship to the Land
Today, TV and radio are tiny technologies compared to this technology which has rapidly brought the world's media and ideas and news to everyone on earth. It's also why you know what "Despacito" and "Gangnam style" are.
the Internet (or social media)
This is when cultures that share or trade a lot "get used to each other". Kind of like how Coach White got accustomed to being called "Blanco" and getting bossed around by the Diaz boys' mom in "McFarland".
Acculturation
When companies move their factories out of richer countries to poorer ones, like China or Bangladesh, to avoid paying high wages and worker safety regulations. It makes goods cheaper, but at the cost of jobs and workers' rights
Outsourcing
This landmark law passed in 1969 was designed to protect Canada's bilingual heritage, by making English and French equal in Government and Parliament. It's why your ticket-taker at Jasper National Park says, "Hello Bonjour!"
The Official Languages Act (1969)
Besides individual identity, the other important part of our identity is this, which refers to communities or groups we are a member of. It might be about the language you speak, god you pray to or culture you practice.
Collective Identity
This is what it's called when a media company buys up a lot of its competition, bringing lots of media properties under one platform and banner. Think Postmedia owning lots of different newspapers. Or Disney owning Star Wars and Marvel.
Media concentration (or media convergence)
The Cree Immersion program at kipohtakaw Education Centre in Alexander First Nation is a contemporary example of this positive response to globalization, as are the Cree language classes they run for the kids' parents.
Cultural Revitalization
This map projection, with straight lines that artifically expand the north and south ends of the map and shrink the equators, makes Greenland look bigger than Africa. It's sometimes also called "racist"
the Mercator map projection
This is the legal document that guarantees, among other things, language minority communities in Canada the right to educate their kids in their own language - provided enough of them are there to open a school.
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms (section 23)
