Talking about globalization, it makes me think of the term cultural homogenization. Some people assert that it is good for the world when people have same ideas and values.  For instance, World Cup and Olympics are the products of the cultural homogenization. In addition, we can also see that globalization is slightly relative to cultural imperialism. For example, globalization spreads cultures from core to periphery nations but cultures from periphery nations are never practice in core countries. Hence, it creates the westernization of the world and domination of western consumer brands such as Coca-cola, Nike and etc… As the result, we have same consumer goods and same ways of thinking everywhere but that does not necessarily make the world better by practicing same customs and values.
