The three newspaper editorials discuss different perspectives on globalization:
1) The first argues that globalization has increased income inequality and led to the rise of populism as increased GDP does not benefit most citizens.
2) The second questions whether globalization truly exists given increased geopolitical tensions during the pandemic instead of international cooperation.
3) The third discusses how COVID-19 has disrupted global supply chains and markets, causing a global economic downturn and potentially threatening the future of globalization.

BS MarE 32-A2 NGEC 3: Activity 1: What do writers think about globalization? Instruction: “What do writers think about globalization? Look for and read three newspaper opinion editorials (Op-Eds) that discuss globalization. Write a 50-word summary for each OP- ED. Identify whether they subscribe to a particular definition discussed in class or if they have a new definition. Identify whether they are broad and inclusive or if they are narrow and exclusive.” 1. Op-Ed: The End of Globalization Based from one article in The Philippine Star, wrote by Elfren S. Cruz, titled “End of Globalization,” he discussed that, nowadays, globalization has been blamed for income disparities or income inequality which is the main reason for the rise of populism. He pointed out that, although we kept reading reports about economies were growing and that GDP was rising, however, we cannot deny the fact that only the few became fabulously rich but, most of the population were experiencing stagnant income. This only means that the increased GDP of a certain country does not reflect into the better lives for most of its people. This is broad and inclusive since, the writer discussed his article in a general scale and not focusing in one country. He also provided different factors why it is the end of globalization in a general manner. Source: https://www.philstar.com/opinion/2020/05/24/2016093/end-globalization
2. Op-Ed: Does Globalization Really Exist?
Based from the article, the author started the discussion by pointing out how the pandemic affects the world today, how it affects the economic state of every country due to stringent lockdown that shut-off mostly every business in the world. Moreover, there are also major events that almost started during the time of pandemic. The tension about the South China Sea has intensified as the US gathered its forces in the area that triggered military conflict between USA and China. It is also believed that the India with Pakistan and Nepal relationship are becoming worse because of China. Due to these events, the author questioned why super-powers are deepening the conflict further, that instead of the countries should be helping side by side to address the issue of the global pandemic. At the end, the failure of globalization can be seen since, globalization was never intended to bring either war or strife. Globalization isn't about countries claiming dominance. Globalization is the way of bringing nations together to collaborate and combine efforts for the common welfare of the globe. This article appears to be a broad and inclusive, although the author gave example of the current issues in the world, however, everything the author discussed is relatable for every country in the world.

3. Op-Ed: Does COVID-19 Mean the End for Globalization?
The Covid-19 pandemic is one of the challenges that the world experienced today. It disrupted the integrated global supply chains and booming interconnected markets and national economies. Additionally, worldwide lockdowns, quarantines, and travel restrictions are implemented that caused high unemployment and closure of mostly small businesses throughout the world. The effect of the pandemic has been felt by each country throughout the world, that even the advanced countries, experienced recession or depression, whereas the emerging economies are in a recession. That is why, the covid-19 became the greatest disruptor of the globalization, and definitely raised threat to the global economy today. This is a broad and inclusive because it tells how the covid-19 affected the globalization today.
