I believe that globalization has a definition of the second view or a "a loosely structued constellation, open to modifucations and redefinitions, selective appropreations and contextual adaptations." Because our world is constantly changing with technological advances and such, we have to redefine what is globalization. For example: when new technology emerges such as the internet, we become even more connected in different ways so our definition on how we are globalized changes as well.

In the social construction of technology theory we see that we are structured by what we create. This theory "involves looking at the ways social phenomena are created, institutionalized, and made into tradition by humans. Socially constructed reality is seen as an ongoing, dynamic process; reality is reproduced by people acting on their interpretations and their knowledge of it".(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_constructionism) Things such as technological advances shape our culture and who we are. Therefore our cultures are connected globally through technology that is ever changing.
