Almost everyone in the United States will use some form of technology during his or her life. Have you ever thought about how technology is used by those across the globe? Is technology as advanced in other countries as it is in the United States? How does globalization and technology go together? Globalization is defined as the process of integration across world-space arising from the interchange of worldviews, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture. Global technology can affect all areas of life including economical, medical, cultural, and political.need to cite definition Technology in globalization is how new things spread and help to better develop our world and the way we live. Many discussions have taken place in recent years about the use of technology and globalization and its impact on the world has been both criticized and praised. Globalization and technology are good for the world because they have had a positive impact on communication, education, science, medicine, economics, politics and social circles across the globe. Technology allows people from all lifestyles and from all around the world to be able to communicate with one another within seconds, instead of having to wait up to a couple of months for a letter to travel around the world to the other person and back. Advances in technology have pulled us out of the dark ages and into a light with inventions such as the cellular phone, jet engines, computers and the World Wide Web.

Pop culture in the 1950s and 1960s began to spread and infest the nation from front to back through radio shows, books and magazines, television programs, and even motion pictures. Whether it is culture in terms of political affairs, clothing or the latest musical sensations, the United States has always played the dominant role when it came to who knows what is best, first. Some cases of Americanizati...

American pop culture has been plastered all over billboards and television screens, and heard on radios for many years. This pop culture take over has not only been seen in the United States over the eras, but has also been polluting countries all around the world with it’s constant influx. Not only is it giving the native people of those countries the wrong impression of what America is like, but it is also not what these countries want. Many countries wish to keep their cultural heritage strong without the negative effect of America’s culture on the newest generation. For many countries, the constant push for westernization is putting a strain on the culture.

Since its inception, the academic discipline of anthropology has gone through constant paradigm shifts. In the nineteenth century, anthropology began as a nomothetic study based upon the development of cultures and societies through the process of evolution. Later on, several anthropologists particularly Franz Boas shifted the nomothetic approach of American anthropology into an idiographic approach, which focuses on assessing the development of cultures individually as their own separate entity. (Moore 2012:161) In the twentieth century, however, anthropology ushered in another paradigm shift. Several American anthropologists during this time, valued empirical data rather than applying the idiographic or the “Boasian” approach into their
