Condition of Art and Culture for Globalization

Art influences society by changing opinions, instilling values and translating experience across space and time. Art in this sense is communication; it allows people from different cultures and different times to communicate with each other via images, sounds and stories. Culture – set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that define a group of people, such as the people of a particular region. ... The arts – vast subdivision of culture, composed of many creative endeavors and disciplines. The arts encompass visual arts, literary arts and the performing arts. Globalization brought into the art world practices from various regions, with diverse culturalheritage, political and social contexts. This made it difficult to sustain the Western modernist notions of art based on ideas of art history and universal formal language. Artists had to find a new common ground. Analysis: In Globalization, Art and Culture still exist but as time goes on, it changes because the choices of people differ with each other. We all can observe the different fast changes that the world surrounds us. Example is the art and culture of the late 1990’s which still exists but even for the early 2000 is now existing, the people are confused on which to follow and which to apply in their daily life. Every person should learn how to cope up with globalization by having their choice and that makes them freely comfortable and agreeable in dealing with. Like the art and culture of attire, fashion, design, etc. Globalization concerns the whole world which affects the art and culture of every country in different aspects as introduced and mixed together.

Arts During Globalization: 1. Art as a Witness There is a lot of information about what is happening in the world today, but it comes from limited channels, often following very specific agendas. Many pressing problems do not gain sufficient media attention or are treated from a limited perspective 2. Working with the Contradictions Art and culture have been entangled in the same flaws that globalization has brought elsewhere – joining an expanding global market and mainstream culture, profiteering from local specificities and exoticizing local communities, and creating new global elites, to name but a few. 3. Future Communities There are two main aspects that characterize art’s importance for society: communities and future. From modernism’s idea of a universal language that unites all, to contemporary global art’s giving voice to under-represented communities, art has always strive to unite. Cultural dimension of globalization. Also known as “cultural globalization” refers to the circulation and sharing of ideas and of meanings and values across countries; hence across cultures, with the effect of increasing social contacts (Paul 2006), this presumably leads to more positive human interconnectedness. Characteristics of the Past Cultural Self-realization ”Under Conditions of “globality”: Simultaneity of life-worlds: In the globalized environment, the “simultaneity” of cultures, i.e. their

constant “presence” in each other’s life-world, has become a determining feature of cultural identity (which, by many, is perceived as a threat). Interaction as need of self-realization: No one, whether individual or community, can “shield” himself anymore from outside influence lest being marginalized in the global interplay of forces. Multidimensionality of interaction: The simultaneity exists not only at the global, but also at the local (domestic) level, and both overlap. Herein lie the challenges and risks of “multiculturalism.” Constant self-assertion (more precisely: the inevitability of the assertion of cultural identity) is the direct consequence of the above-listed factors, and constitutes a permanent source of conflict and instability at the local, regional and global level, but with the chance of the emergence of a new balance of power in the latter two domains. Volatility, in the absence of a global balance of power, due to the dominant player’s claiming a status of cultural – or, more generally, civilizational – hegemony: The overbearing influence of one particular system, proclaiming to be the “paradigmatic” or “indispensable” civilization risks triggering a chain reaction of “clashes of civilizations” – a scenario now playing out (since the end of global bipolarity) in the region of the Middle East.

Cultural Globalization Cultural globalization refers to the transmission of ideas, meanings, and values around the world in such a way as to extend and intensify social relations. This process is marked by the common consumption of cultures that have been diffused by the Internet, popular culture media, and international travel. The different cultures that we see and observe confuses us to know which is better and which to be followed.

Free Trade of Cultural Products: Trade spreads ideas and culture because it involves people moving from place to place around the world as they trade. As they move, they (and the people they meet) come into contact with new ideas and cultural practices. Today, trade is a rather impersonal business. Even now, online shopping is the best example of free trade of cultural products, because cultures of different countries are traded and even cultures of different personal products of different individuals are advertised and sold in the online trade. This means that different customs and habits shared among local communities have been shared among communities that (used to) have different procedures and even different beliefs. Good examples of cultural globalization are, for instance, the trading of commodities such as rice and salt which is one of the special products of Pangasinan which can be sold to World Class Culture: World Class Culture has an ingrained tendency to seek out, identify and drive improvements at all levels of the organization. It moves from a culture where something has to be done to a place where others' way things are done.

Cultural Diversity: Cultural diversity is the quality of diverse or different cultures, as opposed to monoculture, the global monoculture, or a homogenization of cultures, akin to cultural decay. The phrase cultural diversity can also refer to having different cultures respect each other's differences. Culture of Tourism: Cultural Tourism is the subset of tourism concerned with traveler’s engagement with a country or region’s culture, specifically the lifestyle of the people in those geographical areas, the history of those people, their art, architecture, religion(s), and other elements that helped shape their way of life. Cultural tourism is the act of the travelers visiting a particular destination in order to experience and learn about a particular culture. This can include many activities such as; attending events and festivals, visiting museums and tasting the local food and drinks. Cultural tourism can also be an unintentional part of the tourism experience, whereby cultural immersion (with the local people, their language, customs, cuisine etc.) is an inevitable part of a person’s holiday. 3 Types of cultural tourists: Purposeful Cultural Tourist for whom cultural tourism is their primary motive for travel. These tourists have a very deep cultural experience. Sightseeing Cultural Tourist for whom cultural tourism is a primary reason for visiting a destination, but the experience is shallower in nature. Incidental Cultural Tourist is one who does not travel for cultural tourism reasons but nonetheless participates in some activities and has shallow experiences. Cultural tourism activities: Staying with a local family in a homestay Having a tour around a village or town Learning about local employment, for example through a tour of a tea plantation or factory Undertaking in the local community Taking a course such as cooking, art, embroidery, etc. Visiting a museum Visiting a religious building, such as a Mosque Socializing with members of the local community Visiting a local market or shopping area Trying the local food and drink Going to a cultural show or performance Visiting historic monuments

Popular Culture: Popular Culture is culture based on the tastes of ordinary people rather than an educated elite. It is generally recognized by members of a society as a set of the practices , beliefs and objects that are dominant or prevalent in a society at a given point in time. It also encompasses the activities and feelings produced as a result of interaction with these dominant objects.

Categories of Popular Culture: Entertainment – film, music television and video games Sports News -people/places in the news Politics Fashion Technology Slang

Artificial Culture: Artificial Culture is an examination of articulation, construction and representation of the artificial in contemporary popular cultural texts, especially science fiction films and novels. It can thus act as a boundary point against which we as a culture can measure what it means to be human. It literally means “made with art”. Forms of Artificial Culture: Cellular Automata. It is the clearest example of the emergence of global patterns from local rules. They form a metaphor for human interaction on two-dimensional substrates. Tierra. It is a highly formalized and abstract virtual world, and is home for programs which evolve through natural selection. From ancestral creatures to parasites and hyper-parasites. Iterated Prisoners’ Dilemma with Choice and Refusal. It is populated by participants who are repeatedly matched as pairs, each having the choice of cooperating with its partner or defecting, the payoffs differing based on one partner’s action. SimLife. It is a software package written for the computer game market, but which may be useful for prototyping scientific research. Strategic Theater of War (STOW). It is a worldwide network of military vehicle simulators connected to semi-automated forces which are intelligent controllers for foot soldiers and single tanks requiring a minimum of human intervention.

Cooperative Robot Behavior. It is a goal of many robot builders, and its engineering is in some ways similar to constructing AC or Artificial Culture simulations, both in questions on how to achieve collective behavior and how to model the agents....
