Activity 1-B
Of the broad and inclusive definitions given various authors in the lecture notes, what term has been
repeatedly used? Discuss its literal meaning and how it relates to the concept of globalization.

In my own perspective, the term "The network of connection and peoples are across national,
geographic and cultural borders and boundaries (Conventry Business School,2005)" has been repeatedly
used. We all recognize that social media is very much defined as a positive aspect of our lives, that we
can get and exchange data and ideas. However, to allow effective use of social media, we need to use
connection networks, which is why the network of connections is repeatedly used by people.

 Pandemic

move from the other place.

Activity 4-B
Why do you think Filipinos apply for jobs abroad and/or migrate to other countries? Explain.
Determine from research the current number of OFWs and Filipino migrants, as well as the top 5
employers/ migratory country.

Based on the result of July 2020, Labor Force Survey on PSA Philippine Statistical Authority,
Unemployment rate in July 2020 was estimated at 10.0 percent. This higher than the employment rate
of the same month a year ago, placed at 5.4 percent but lower than the record high 17.7 percent during
April 2020. Unemployed Filipinos who are 15 years old and over was estimated at 4.6 million in July
2020, higher by 2.1 million compared to the same period a year but lower by 2.7 million from three
months ago.

The reason why Filipinos are migrating to other counties is that, we an over population, over
supply of labor force on certain industries and inability to take on available jobs on the Philippines. And
as well as, there is a certain higher rate of pesos converting from the rate abroad that could sustain the
needs of Filipino families.

Total number of OFWs estimated at 2.2 million, based on the result of 2019 survey on Overseas
Filipino, the number of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who worked abroad at any time during the
period April to September 2019 was estimated at 2.2 million. Overseas Contact Workers (OCWs) or
those with existing work contact comprised 96.8 percent of the total OFWs during the said period. The
rest who work overseas without contact accounted for 3.2 percent.

A. Poster Making
 1. After having read the many views and thoughts of experts, formulate now your own definition
of globalization.
Globalization means the acceleration of movements and transactions all over the world
(of human beings, products and services, money, technology or cultural practices). One of the
implications of globalization is that it encourages and strengthens exchanges across the globe
between various regions and populations.

2. In your own opinion, is globalization a positive or a negative occurrence? Support your answer
in the light of actual events such as (but not limited to) the COVID- 19 Pandemic.
There are always positive and negative results of all and I agree that there are positive a
nd negative occurrences of globalization, but for my own view, since globalization increased har
mony in the world, it is more balance of positive than negative occurrences. It is now clear that i
t is much more profitable to trade with anyone than to conquer them. Increased international c
ooperation, mostly in the interests of humanity (but, sadly, not always).

1. Which dimension of globalization (economic, political, cultural, social, technological) has

affected you most as a student? Explain.
There is much greater impact of globalization for me as a student. We even made
an interconnectedness of people and businesses across the world that eventually leads to global
cultural, political and economic integration. It is the ability to move and communicate easily all
over the world to conduct business internationally and even the schemes, the new trend and
even the delivery of learning were adopted internationally most importantly during this
pandemic. The delivery of this of the lesson, in which we an online platform in which
international students are already aware of this is this their way of communicating their
teachers and classmates and this make them being used to this way of delivering of lesson. And
for us, we are still adjusting to the current trend of learning. The online platform is the number
one that being used in learning. And today’s world, globalization in an important concept for
student in higher education to understand and appreciate because of the demand of business
and industry to hire people who can work with people of other nations and culture and if need
be can travel independently internationally to promote their business and industry.

Instruction: Cut out and paste one news or print an actual photo showing globalization as positive
phenomenon, and one other photo illustrating globalization as a negative phenomenon. Then, in a
paragraph, explain why globalization is considered positive and negative.
 Positive Negative

Why globalization a positive phenomenon?

Countries and businesses have access to a bigger customer base through globalization. A compa
ny may spread to other regions, boosting sales and making more money in the process, instead of just se
lling goods in their area.

Why globalization a negative phenomenon?

Globalization works mainly in the interests of the richest nations, which, at the expense of devel
oping countries, continue to control world trade. Much of the LEDCs' position in the world market is to p
rovide cheap labor and raw materials to the North and West.
