Globalization is the increase of interconnectedness between people, cultures, and nations. This process increases opportunities for communication, exchange of material and symbolic goods, and the migration of people across national borders (Straubhaar). Hybridization is the interaction between previously separate cultures over time. This type of mixing can result in the glocalization of media products, or taking an idea that proved to be successful in one place and utilizing it in another. Game shows, for example, have been adopted throughout the media all across the world. Various Japanese game shows are currently being portrayed in the US, such as “Wipe Out.”
