Reaction about Globalization

In the Philippines, globalization has brought many job opportunities to all Filipino
people. The government encourages foreign companies to establish business and open
many jobs to Filipino worker even abroad. The impact of globalization helps the
Philippines community to be more aware of what happens to the Philippines, it also
gives the idea to many Filipino people to have more knowledge and information on the
Philippines society. Globalization expands more in terms of the social, cultural, legal,
and political. Each country has its own cultural globalization and they represent and
exchange it to other countries about the new ideas and values of their country. They
also share the development of their country. The impact of globalization in the
Philippines changes a lot in terms of the culture, values, and economy. It also helps the
improvement of infrastructure in our country. Globalization also affects the international
market and enhances economic growth. In the Philippines when it terms of education
we improve more and we offer higher education and skilled people. The lack of
education is the main reason why our country suffers from poverty. But all these
changes, it also has a negative effect in our society. When in terms of Filipino who work
abroad there are many Filipino workers who have faced many problems and they are
stranded to a foreign country and far away from the support of the Philippine
government. Some effect of globalization to the Philippines is the lack of Filipino
traditions and values that most younger Filipino don’t appreciate and they don’t even
practice it to their daily life. They become more familiar with Western mentality than
being a pure Filipino. Because of the globalization, the effect of these to all Filipino
people sometimes is not good especially in the health of Filipino like the rapid spread of
AIDS that mostly comes from the outside the country. Filipino who have a sexual
intercourse to a foreigner sometimes gets this kind of disease it can spread fast to other
people without their knowledge. Social media has also a big side effect in the
Philippines when it comes to cybercrimes and the increase of sex videos. The standard
of living of a Filipino has a negative effect because of the globalization. Like some moral
values that most Filipino has was forgotten. Some young Filipino is now liberated like
other countries in the way of their living. A lot of them especially those couples are living
in with marriage. They have forgotten their identity as a Filipino. But time over time, it is
now permanent. It changes constantly, we just have to control it.
