Title of the Article

1. Difficult Concepts (What concepts did you find difficult to understand?)

i. Seven Hypothesis
ii. Organizational Commodity
iii. Promotion into a Global City
2. Insights (What new insights or learning did you gain in discussion/ activity?)

i. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought that.

According to the past articles about globalization, I have learned about the
different types of corporations worldwide and on how they affect economic
globalization. Their differential factors were also discussed, setting their
definition apart from one another. Nonetheless, all corporations benefit
significantly towards the spread of the free market.
ii. However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize
That among all of these corporations, MNC’s or multinational corporations
stand out among the rest. MNC’s are richer, larger, and play a larger
influence internationally than the rest. Because these corporations exist
almost everywhere and are used by almost everyone, they in itself can be
defined as globalization as borders no longer affect its existence.
iii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought that.
A human’s natural aptitude for connectedness brought life into
globalization, to which in the past started through trade and negotiation
between different cultures.
iv. However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize
While it’s true that the exchange between two bordering parties has
brought a sense of globalization. That is incomparable to the sudden
network that formed when a country such as the United States gained
power over the security, trade, and economical influence on the globe.

ii. On the positive side of economic, If globalization may lead to wealthiness’
through non-violent competition between nations. But in terms of
economics does globalization also amplify the black market globally?
iii. Does one’s way of thinking have to be understanding for economic
globalization to occur?
