History and Origins of the Contemporary World
For what I understand, the contemporary world began or originated with the
changes that enable, or rather drive us to claim that we have entered a new era. So
basically, it started on how our ancestors or the early people understand and learn things
to survive, tell stories and even reproduce. From this history that they made which led
and is the main reason of the awesome progress we have in the present, it might be in
form of technology, literature, discoveries and such.
Globalization
I read few articles about globalization and I think it refers to the process in which
individuals from all over the world are brought together to form a single community and
work together. Economic, technological, societal, and political variables are all at work in
this process. Economic globalization, or the integration of national economies into the
world economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, and the
spread of technology, is commonly referred to as "globalization."
Economic Globalization
Economic globalization refers to the rising interdependence of world economies as
a result of increased cross-border trade in goods and services, international capital flows,
and the widespread and rapid development of technologies.
Metaphors
A site named writers.com define metaphors as a figure of speech that pulls
comparisons between two unrelated ideas, but in contemporary world any aspect of world
politics, globalization is bound up in it. Metaphors discursively build and then recreate
new and self-standing realities that in over time, may become taken for granted and
hence unquestioned, while also actively reshaping globalization and its many facets.
Conceptualization
In vocabulary the word conceptualization is simply defined as the act or process
of forming a general notion or idea, but in It is a complex process of social, cultural,
economic and political petting that can be seen to have a high level of complexity and
abstractness. Conceptualization is very vital in any form or aspect of our life, especially
in contemporary world as for it is on of the basic steps of progress and roots of
development that we have in the present and can be the main component for the future.
