In 1980s,we human beings stepped into a process of postindustrialization and globalization,which is a great historic social movementHowever,there are a large number of misunderstandings about globalization as a concept and a movement These misunderstandings not only distort the globalization movement itself,but also give rise to many antiglobalization movements. In order to lead globalization into sound development,it is necessary to define globalization precisely and concisely. We argue that globalization is a new social movement starting in the postindustrial process,which is essentially different from the universalization of capitalism in the industrial society in terms of its nature and goal. The universalization of capitalism has generated a global coreperiphery structure,while the globalization is a process to break this coreperiphery structure and to build an equal world.
