They say that globalization is the reflection of relations between different regions of the world and the shared influence is what societies exert upon one another. But this general perception does not always capture the relationship between every region. Our knowledge and experience of the world reveals this reality to us that globalization is more or less a concealed term for westernization or Americanization. If we say for example that Hollywood is inspired by Massai then this statement might sound ridiculous but if we say it the other way round then this would certainly not sound as ludicrous although the fact that Hollywood is influenced by Massai is likely to be true. Even right now when I am using these terms like “Massai” Microsoft Word is marking it to be spell checked. The entire system of trade and decision making is based on the will of a single region to which other nations have to comply, in order to survive. This process, at least in South Asia, has started with our colonized mind sets through which we have warmly welcomed exploitation through globalization and many regions themselves have given up by choosing to become the “labour class” and letting the receiving region become the “capitalist”.
