Globalization

Globalization in Hybridization

Globalization is the process of making connections between nations, cultures, and people in general stronger.

For instance hybridization, the interaction between two distant cultures in different times, brings together two cultures or two types of people in some way or fashion. It binds together cultures that find a significant holding place in each other. One example is with television shows throughout the world today, specifically The Office. 

Originally starting in the UK, the “British” verision of The Office was a huge hit in England. Mainly anchored by headlining funny man Ricky Gervais, the show maintained a steady dose of funny that producers thought would transcend in America. Sure enough, they were right, the American “Office” proved to be even funnier to American audiences than the British version. Although the American version was slightly different to make it more relatable, this situation proves that there was a connection between tow different cultures based on the basis of what each culture thought was funny.
