Morphology
globohomo + view
One constituent, “globohomo,” is a slang/coinage not found in dictionaries and is a politically charged portmanteau whose internal parts are not standard morphemes a B1 learner would reliably analyze. Even though it hints at ‘global’ + ‘homogen(ization)’, the term’s slangy, ideological use and lack of transparent, conventional composition make the full meaning unpredictable without prior exposure or sociopolitical knowledge.
Etymology
Globohomo view may come from joining global and homogeneous, which creates the picture of one 'same' culture spreading everywhere. People use the phrase to criticize the idea that cultures should become 'the same', so it means a belief in global cultural sameness and is often said in a negative way.
