Globalization, the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on a global scale. In Evelyn Hu-Dehart, “Asian American Formations in the Age of Globalization,” Hu-Dehart talks about the intricacies of globalization on the Asian American diaspora and how it has affected the community as a whole. Globalization has a duality that is almost like a double-edged sword against the Asian American community. On one hand, it allows us to promote people of power and positive trade agreements and relations between our home countries. On the other, it allows for the exploitation of Asian American workers. Also, globalization has put the Asian American community under a new light. Hu-Dehart mentions notable figures that had power within the Asian American community. Hu-Dehart goes on to talk about the goals of trying to get an Asian American person into office. Hu-Dehart also mentions how fast public opinion on Asian Americans can change within an instant. The Asian American diaspora and globalization are inextricably linked. Both can have huge effects on each other and depending on the circumstance, it can be a curse or a blessing for the community in question. My question for this reading is, how does white America feel about the ever-growing presence of Asian Americans in American society.
The globalization of the United States education system allows students to study abroad overseas.
