Culture has been defined differently by different groups, groups have defined culture has the practices, beliefs and customs of a given certain people. Culture categorization is of different form; there is culture in relation to politics, culture in relation to globalization, and universalism culture. These forms of culture explain the different meaning of culture in different forms. Researchers have defined globalization culture as the consumption of different western culture goods, and there different effect after consumption. Globalization definition in politics is different by different researchers(Giddens &., 1990).
The tradition beliefs of group of people or a society is also a culture definition for different societies. Culture and politics examined closely to bring out the relationship between politics and culture. The aim of this paper is to examine the understanding of culture globalization and its effect on western countries and to understand culture and politics movements exercised outside the tradition beliefs in the western countries. The effects of these elements on non-western countries are discussed. This research will study different political movements that developed in japan since 1990s(Bell & Daniel, 1976).
Culture and politics
Politics have evolved from one generation to another; there are developments and movements that are experienced in political development. These movements started from 1960s, this generation adhered to the traditional culture unlike the movements from the year 1990s which have adapted the new social culture(Jordan, 2002). Politics engage in culture activities such as performances, music and dance. They are several types of new movements that emerged in 1990s:
Anti-war movements in the 21st century
The aim of this paper is to examine the new culture movement, in the year 2003 March 21, there was an anti- war rally that was help in Tokyo(Jameson, 1992). This happened after UK/ US coalition, it was the third held and the largest; different groups and different type of peoples attended the rally. Some of the attendances were the anti-war activist, communist, political people, ecologist, high school students, families and university students. There was noise from a group of 300 people who were carrying out art activities; some were playing music while others were dancing, performances werealso from different DJs(Noda et al., 2003). Those are some of the forms of the new culture and political movement that a group known as Korosuna meaning, “do not kill” practised.
The argument over the anti- war movement
Korosuna group has brought up both advantages and disadvantages to the Japanese political grounds. The most interesting part of this project is that, the anti-war in japan was the largest political demonstration that was not organised by the political group. The Korosuna group was responsible for organising the rally; the establishment of this group was in the early 1990s(Harvey, 1990). The unique factor that differentiated the group from the 1960s and 1970s group was that; this two groups were organised during the political rallies but for Korosuna they organised themselves and all the activities that that they would carry out. This group has abandoned the tradition ways of carrying out demonstration. For example, they have a slogan “Do not kill” which has forced them to come up with new culture development such as grate performances from and dance(Take et al., 1997).
