Lesson

1 Global Networks (Part 1)

Did you know that in the early and late 1980’s, one most popular means of
reaching out to loved ones from abroad to their families in the Philippines was
through “voice tapes?” You might not be aware of it though, but it takes about a
month or months for a taped recorded voice message to be played by their families
using cassette tape players. Well, that was prior to our era of today when almost
anything can be accessed in real time despite global distance. Now, that gave birth
to the present concept of globalization. Generally, globalization was born out of the
inter-linkages of nation – states which has in varied ways influenced the life of
people worldwide.
We might not be able to enumerate the effects of globalization in our daily
lives but in this module, it will help you deepen your understanding about
globalization. Let us now study the meaning, nature and various activities in one’s
daily life that show some concrete effects of globalization.
Let’s proceed!

What’s In

Directions: In your previous module you have already understood intuitive thinking
and strategic thinking. In this activity I want you to differentiate the two using the
diagram below. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

 What is It

Globalization

As cited in the Revisitadestatica (2012), the term globalization refers to the

emergence of an international network, belonging to an economic and social
system. One of the earliest uses of the term "globalization", as known, was in 1930
- in a publication entitled “Towards New Education” to designate an overview of the
human experience in education.
Since the invention of the concept, globalization has inspired numerous
definitions and has had a history going back in time to the great commercial and
imperialist movements throughout Asia and the Indian Ocean since the fifteenth
century.
Roland Robertson, a professor of sociology at the University of Aberden, was
the first person who defined globalization as "the understanding of the world and
the increased perception of the world as a whole."
Martin Albrow and Elizabeth King, sociologists, define globalization as "all
those processes by which the peoples of the world are incorporated into a single
world society.
It can be linked to the local, the national and the regional. On the one hand,
a connection is made between social and economic relationships and networks,
organized on a local or national, on the other hand, it connects social and economic
relationships and networks formed on wider scale the regional and global
interactions.
It is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies,
and governments of different nations. A process driven by international trade and
investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the
environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and
prosperity, and on human physical well-being on societies around the world. For
many developing nations, globalization has led to an improvement in standard of
living through improved roads and transportation, improved health care, and
improved education due to the global expansion of corporations. However,
globalization has had a negative effect on individuals who live in developed nations.
Some of the factors that cause globalization are migration and labor.

Migration is a movement to another place, often of a large group of people.

Labor is defined as work, especially hard physical work.

People are more willing to move between different countries today in search
for work. Remittances now play a large role in transfers from developed countries to
developing countries.

Types of Globalization

Economic Globalization is the increasing economic integration and

interdependence of national, regional, and local economies across the world
through an intensification of cross boarder movement of goods, services,
technologies and capital.

Examples:
• Trans-national trades are companies that extend beyond the borders of one
country example of these are Unilever and McDonalds
• World Trade Organization is the only global international
organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. The WTO has 164
members and 24 observer governments.
• Foreign Direct Investment is an investment in the form of a controlling
ownership in a business in one country by an entity based in another country.
It is thus distinguished from a foreign portfolio investment by a notion of direct
control. In 2019, China and South Korea followed Singapore as the
largest investors in the Philippines.

Social Globalization is a social transformation or process leading to the

achievement of people-centered development. Human-centered development
concept is offered as an alternative strategy to bring about a more equity
development outcome.

Examples:
• UN General Assembly
• Partnership of International Development Programs
• Social Integration, Gender Equity and access to Social Services
• HIV/AIDS Awareness

Political Globalization refers to an increasing trend toward multilateralism

in an emerging transnational state apparatus and the emergence of national and
international non-governmental organizations that act as watchdogs over
governments. The government has four distinct roles in addressing sustainability
concerns. These roles are as follows:
1. Policy development
2. Regulation
3. Facilitation
4. Internal sustainability management

Financial Globalization is a collective concept that refers to increasing

global linkages created through cross-border financial flows. Financial integration
refers to an individual country's linkages to international capital markets.

6
 Technological Globalization is accelerated in large part by technological
transmission, the spread of technology across borders. Although the Philippines is
not the world's least technologically advanced country, it is far from leading. It
ranks 83rd out of 138 countries in terms of technological readiness, according to
the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).

Ecological Globalization occurs when ecosystems are constantly

exchanging materials through the movement of air in the atmosphere, the flow of
water in rivers and the migration of animals across the landscape. The world is also
becoming highly interconnected through the movement of people and the transport
of goods locally to globally (EurekAlert.com).

Geographical Globalization is defined as the set of processes (economic,

social, cultural, technological, and institutional that contributes to the relationship
between societies and individuals around the world. It is a progressive process by
which exchanges and flows between different parts of the world are intensified.

Let us now identify some positive and negative effects of Globalization.

Positive and Negative Effects of Globalization

Positive
It creates opportunities for countries to The growth of international trade has
connect to other countries for larger
markets.
This can lead to more access capital
flows, technology, human capital,
cheaper imports and larger export
markets.
It allows businesses to become part of
international production networks and
supply chains of different countries.
It allows workers to migrate from their
homelands in poorer countries to more
developed countries to find work.
Technologies are introduced to make a
narrower product more efficiently.
Negative
worsened income inequalities between
developed, developing and
underdeveloped countries.
Global commerce is increasingly
dominated by transnational
corporations which seek to maximize
profits without regard for the
development needs of individual
countries.
Competitions among developing
countries are races which dangerously
lower environmental standards.
Parents and children can spend a
decade apart, where they pass their
responsibilities to grandparents.
Many developing countries do not have
strict rules about environmental
protection, resulting in serious air,
water, and soil pollution.

Interconnections of People and Nations

Globalization leads to interconnectedness of people and nations, where

people refer to a group of people with commonality, such as religion, culture and
language who lives in a specific area, while nation refers to a larger group of people
organized in a specific place, which embodied an independent government of its
country where they can decide on their own.
Try to imagine how can we connect to our loved ones especially in this time
of pandemic without technologies? Cell phones connect people all over the world
like never before. There are a multitude of platforms through which people can
communicate too, including Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, and
Snapchat.
Considering the new normal education, how can we enroll in our online
educational programs in school from anywhere in the Philippines without the
different platforms and access new information on virtual topics?

Collaboration means to work together with others to achieve a common

goal. Unconditionally sharing everything and helping each other while mutually
working together in cohesive “collective” in unusual roles embracing talents of each
person to synergize or invent something new in a way that:
a. benefits all the groups,
b. serves the whole team’s goal, and
c. may result to creative innovation.

Cooperation is the process of working together to the same end. It is an

active help from a person, organization etc. such as an orderly sharing of space and
resources. Cooperation means conditionally sharing information and resources
while functioning together within an independent “connective” in typical roles with
workloads accepted as unequal to change something in a way that:
a. benefits some individuals in a group,
b. meets their personal needs, and
c. may result in disrupted innovation.
