Black Panther Comparative Analysis

Globalization is a process of collaboration and assimilation between individuals and governments of different nations, including their differing cultures and worldviews, as a way to improve relations surrounding international trade and innovation. The idea of globalization plays an extensive part in the comic Black Panther: Who Is the Black Panther?, which is about the ruler of a fictitious country in Africa, called Wakanda, that is known for being a highly advanced country in terms of technology, sustainability, health care, politics, economics, and spirituality. Throughout the tale, European forces and other international entities seek to overpower the Wakanda nation,

On the one hand, it demonstrates the success of the Wakanda nation in their efforts of globalization, because not only have they created a strong nation of riches and innovation that other countries envy, but they are a positive display of how globalization can be effectively achieved to fulfill a nation’s overall potential. This successful fulfillment is further displayed through the Black Panther himself, because he encompasses the strength, longevity, resilience, and prosperity that a nation needs to collaborate effectively with others (Hudlin, Romita Jr., Janson and White, 2015). On the other hand, what is not readily displayed is the Wakanda nation’s ability to work well with other nations across the globe in a way that will help others find truth over power, along with greater innovation that will benefit the human race. Porter’s article helps explain the lacking collaborative efforts that the Wakanda nation displays in his discussion surrounding competitive advantage, which reviews the importance of differing cultures, philosophies, values, and institutions that directly influence globalization and change as a whole (2008, p. 1). Thus, both texts demonstrate the success that can come from the singularity of a nation, but they do not emphasize what additional innovative capabilities can be found when nation’s work together to produce change, rather than

and Michael Porter’s study on “The Patterns of National Competitive Success” both provide valid explanations of how globalization can be beneficial on both an individual and collaborative scale. When more innovative nations seek to improve other international entities by demonstrating their need for regional change (in this case, to seek development over greed), such nation’s remain stable and successful. However, this also leaves them closed off from expanding their potential any further, beyond the competitive globalized sphere, which can hinder their relations indefinitely. Such shows that competitiveness is just as important as collaboration in the realm of globalization, and that nations like the Wakanda should seek out both for future
