Which description associates globalization with the way people perceive time and space, as proposed by Steger?

• A. Globalization by Steger (relates the way people perceive time and space)
• B. Mediascape
• C. Ethnoscape
• D. Ideoscape

Answer: (A)

Globalization, in Steger’s view, reshapes not just economies and cultures but the way we experience time and space. It speeds up communication and travel, links events across the world almost instantly, and compresses distances so that faraway places feel closer and time feels shorter. This shift in perception is a hallmark of globalization for Steger, influencing how people plan, relate to others, and understand their world.

The other terms describe channels through which globalization operates—the flow of media, the movement of people, or the spread of ideologies—but they don’t specifically capture this experiential change in how time and space are felt. Therefore, the description that connects globalization to the way people perceive time and space aligns with Steger’s framing.
