THE DYNAMICS AND IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION IN THE FIELD OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Globalization has become a major force shaping various aspects of human life, including in the fields of science and technology. Globalization makes technology easier to access and exchange between countries and accelerates the development of innovation. But not everyone benefits equally from globalization, and some countries or regions lag behind in adopting new technologies. In Indonesia, we can see the physical impact of globalization through the development of cities that are part of the urban network. This can be seen in the telecommunications infrastructure, transportation, and the presence of international companies and their branches. Globalization has brought negative and positive impacts to Indonesian society. The positive impact is that we can see changes in values and attitudes, advances in science and technology, and an increase in the level of life. But there are also negative impacts such as consumptive lifestyles, increased individualism, and the influence of western lifestyles that are getting stronger, as well as increasing social inequality. By understanding how the dynamics and impacts of globalization affect science and technology, we can work together to create a more just and inclusive country where knowledge and technology can be used for the common good.
