perspectives to a broader outlook an interconnected and interdependent world with free transfer
of capital, services and goods across national frontiers.
According the MrGlobalization blog says that cultural diversity is deep. The product of the first
great divergence of humankind situation. From beginning, the migrated across the globe and
settled in communities in of climes and landscape. For example, like Japanese it quite isolated
and came believed that they were unique and special besides others experienced almost
constant contact with other cultures. Globalization means accelerating contact between different
cultures. With the globalization, traded will be good often the reflection of mixing the cultures.
Examples that globalization make the mixing cultural is Hollywood movies and Japanese anime
where the international investment bring multinational enterprise into foreign lands and
communities. Besides that, the mixing cultural in other age also expose to live, give ideas and

values of others when have a global communications. This situation make the migration result in
people of different cultures can living together without war. In business, communication

services different from their competitors. Communicate cross culturally have competitive
advantage because they can devote more time and resources to conducting business and less
time on internal and external communication issues. Based on cultural in communications to
avoid misunderstanding caused by personal biases and prejudices. For example, in 1884 the
United States government became the first foreign entity to purchase property in Korea. It
important building relationship in globally is communication.
Advantage of cultural globalization also can access to new cultural products. Globalization can
make people to share experience, share ideas about their opportunity. For example, Malaysia
has been done with change the international student from other countries. This situation can
make our student can learn how to manage their studies besides that student overseas also can
share their knowledge about education at their countries compare than our countries. Besides
that, with the globalization can make the business ongoing process especially share the ideas to
produce the product. For example, South Korea are the countries had online platform or website
where can give idea about product before creates the prototype before produce the final product
to be test in market. From this, idea from South Korea until August 2015 the online platform has
been received 2.2 million visitors with 3,900 idea list and 17 develop and also 12 product had
been exported to be market at oversea. International trade in cultural product and service such
as movies, music and publications is one of advantage in access to new cultural. The expansion
in trade can make the product exposure especially in all society foreign cultures. The exposure
to foreign cultural is good frequently brings the changes in local cultural, values and traditions
and it make no consequence of globalization on national cultures besides people can think
undermine their own cultural identity.

Besides that, cultural in globalization can instant access to get information from anywhere in the
world. In the business situation, the nature of provide these goods and services has changed
drastically through the history of time ago. The business activity in last thirty years has been

In globalization will be negative effected the cultural diversity by influencing in international

identity or distinct features especially in traditional clothes, foods and language that countries
have. This situation will be happen when the idea created to make some product is cheaper and
faster reduces the demand. The globalization fashion trends can make people to moving the
traditional cultural to modern cultural. The important things is traditional clothing enhances the
traditional identity of a country can be forget. Moreover, traditional wear keep women in a more
protective environment then adolescents wearing western outfit. New cultural is the phenomena
where developing through fusion or hybridization in national cultures. In this situation through
the globalization we can have greater the awareness in cultural difference especially across the
globe. Nowadays, young people like to follow the others countries culture such as K-pop, Gothic
and more.

global culture and the elimination for other and local culture become the same. This situation be
appears when a strong push and incentive towards cultural homogenization in our current
culture. It also can be eliminates the cultural diversity to seeks for eliminates difference between
people and instead them into one mind, one voice and one world. The spite of nation can be all
