Globalization is economically transforming the world, as national borders become increasingly irrelevant before the global flow of money and goods. But globalization also has a great impact on cultures across the globe, as products from Coca-Cola to Walkman, and ideas from human rights to ideals of beauty to ideologies of terrorism, intrude everywhere. This course examines how globalization is fundamentally transforming the meanings of culture. The course objectives are to enable students 1) to have greater insight into the processes of ¡§the globalization of culture,¡¨ and 2) to better understand the nature of their own culture and selves within a globalizing world. (Not for students who have taken ANT5560.)
