 QUESTION.
Why do you need to study the contemporary world? How
important it is?

• Studying the outside world is a cure to parochialism.

• It is important to study the world because it can teach you

more about yourself. Knowing about other countries allows
you to compare your society with others.

• You need to study the world because you will be interacting

with it.

many miles away and vice versa.

described globalization in 1992 as the compression of the world and the
intensification of the consciousness of the world as a whole.
Historical Foundation of the term “Globalization”
In 1987, Charles Taze Rusell (of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract

largely national trust and other large enterprise of the time.

In 1930, the word “globalize” as a noun appeared in a publication

entitled Towards New Education where it denoted a holistic view of
human experience in education.

In the late 1970’s the word “globalization” was coined. In 2013, this
term was used to mean “borderless society” referring to international
migration.
 Indicators of Globalization

The jet engine, the internet, e-banking, e-books, e-bike, the LRT,
MRT and other inventions of science and technology are
attributable to the spread of globalization. These are the some of
the modern offspring of development in our infrastructure

and adapted words like global, globality, globalization, globalism as
well as the concepts of global market, global ecology, global citizen, it’s
more truly unknown up to the very of the 20th century.
2. Discussion of world issues used the derivatives of “international”
rather than “global” relations because of the recent popularized new
concept of “globalization” has resulted in innumerable contradicting
definitions of the same.
3. While, normatively speaking some people associate globalization with
progress, prosperity, and peace some others consider it to be
retrogression, disaster and decay.

view that globalization is a “process of economic, social, culture, and
political activity, which transcends nation-state borders and that it
pertains to the world as a whole.”
5. Globalization is a complex and controversial process of the building of
the world as a whole due to the creation of global institutional structures
and global cultural forms like a free market
6. Various ideological movements of resistance to globalization have been
emerging in response to globalization such as the violent and destructive
mass demonstrations staged in various countries are a manifestation of
resistance.
