The concept of globalization is defined as ”the process by which businesses and organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale”.  A worldwide increase in interdependence, interactivity, interconnectedness, and the instant exchange of information. Arjun Appadurai’s book ”Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy” makes a point to bring up how ”the central problem of today’s global interactions is the tension cultural homogenization and cultural heterogenization”). With the new world now updated with faster means of travel, quick easy ways of communicating across the globe, and a stronger understanding for other cultures, people have been more connected now than they have ever been before. The prospect of globalization influences a bunch of other aspects of life including accountability, free trade, equality/inequality, communication, culture, etc. Globalization also helps to encourage the notion of a Global Village, a Utopian idea of all cultures getting along in one place evenly.  This brings up the potential of global media. This idea of an open culture environment is envisioned because most that come from other cultures may never have seen some of their fellow members face to face. Anderson states that ”it is imagined as a community because regardless of the actual inequality and exploitation that may prevail in each, the nation is always conceived as a deep horizontal comradeship”  (Anderson, 6-7).  Regardless of whatever country or culture you originate from, that doesn’t always mean that they will have to consider that home. Pico Iyer expresses how home comes from you feel the most safe and secure and where you feel the most welcome, regardless of where he was raised or where his parents came from. If he was surrounded by people that cared about him, he would consider it home. This image of the global village would fit in the same vein as that, being considered a home because of who you are surrounded by, not by the culture or race of the people. The media has being one of the main reasons why we know so much about other cultures, through the saturation of the culture and the information overload. Global culture flow comes down to five main dimensions; Ethnoscapes, shifting landscape of tourists, immigrants, refugees, exiles, guest workers, etc. It affects politics of, and between nations. 2. Technoscapes, global configuration of technology, both mechanical and information now travel at much faster speeds across various kinds of previously impervious boundaries, 3. Financescopes, global flow of capital which includes currency, stock and commodity, globalization has accelerated much quicker in this landscape than in trade and production, Mediascapes and ideoscapes, distribution of electronic capabilities to produce and disseminate information, and the image of the world created by these media. Cultural imperialism is imperial domination of the world maintained partly through the dissemination cultural products. Globalization has also profoundly altered the nature of American pop culture, which is especially evident in the influence of Asian media like K-pop, anime, Bollywood and such.  This influence of Globalizing the world seems like a much closer goal than ever because of how connected we are we each other.
