Essential Questions: (5 pts. each)
1. Do you think that the Philippines is harmed as other countries transfer

their activities to us through outsourcing? Explain.
Answer: The world we live in right now requires that we work to earn
money. Multinational companies control everything and that is not
going to change anything soon. Outsourcing transfer nearly all aspects
of the production aside from design and other higher management
functions. Through this arrangement, the Philippines and other
countries act as a provider of cheap labor, some call it modern day

slavery which has some truth to it since the contracts signed are in
favor of foreign companies.
2. Does the position of rich countries as giants in the economic chain

threaten the status of less developed countries in the global market?
Explain.
Answer: Yes, because people is divided by rich and the poor and the
rich can make poor people out of business. It does threaten the status
of the less developed countries, for the title itself of being a developed
country is a high status compared to the very living or the normal
system and progression from other countries who were not yet or not
developed.

Essential Questions: (5 pts.each)

1. In the case of the Philippines, how much do you think are we involved
in the modern world-system? What do you think are the advantages
is
and disadvantages of being a part of such?

Answer: The Philippines exports commodities:
Th
 It is a top exporter of Coconuts, bananas, and Nickel

The Philippines is a labour provider to the Middle
East and Asia
sh
 It exports laborers, engineers, nurses, caregivers.

 It exports local services as callcenters and remote
backoffice workers
ADVANTAGES:
 It brings in money and reduces unemployment
DISADVANTAGES
 It brings abuse to the overseas workers
 Employees in business process outsourcing are in dead end
jobs.
 There are over 5k Filipinos in jail overseas.
2. How can we “upgrade” our economy given the strength of the global
economy, especially the giant economies like the United States and
Japan?
Answer: We can surely upgrade our economy by emulating the style
of United State and Japan. There are many ways to be like them, we
can do what they are doing with their economy like manufacturing,
technologies, agriculture, railroads and above all is the permanent
elimination of corruption. Long before, we were number one in terms of
natural resources, we were rich in everything and our economy was
good compared to other countries. After a long period of time, our
natural resources had slowly gone due to man's abusive act, many
leaders had tried to lead our country but failed to lift our economy up
back to normal.
