THE MOST RELEVANT POINTS FOR ME 

1.  Different approaches for Globalization:

• Internationalization: Growing international exchange and interdependence, flows of trade and capital, people and ideas.
• Liberalization: Economic Integration (Eurozone)
• Universalization: Planetary synthesis of cultures.
• Westernization: Spread of capitalism, rationalism, industrialism...etc to other countries, destroying existing cultures in the process.
• Respatialization: De-territorialization.

2. Cultural Hybridity:
Societies that emerge from cultural contacts of European explorers and those explored. Hybridity emphasizes in the mutual intermingling of a major culture onto the minor culture. 


RESEARCH QUESTION

WHAT ARE HERMENEUTICS?

Hermeneutics is the science of interpretation, traditionally of text with a not self-evident meaning.  In other words, 

Hermeneutics can be highly useful when used in countries with a high-context culture, including written, verbal and non-verbal communication since the meaning of these is not as evident as it would be in a low-context culture.
