Module 1 Answer Sheet:

Process questions:
1. Defining globalization can enlighten people what is contemporary world all about. Since globalization
affect every aspect of our life, it is important to know what is globalization as a concept and
understanding globalization is a very important part of learning about our human involvement with the
environment and society making ourselves more aware of our roles, of what we can contribute, what
we can do in this world that is driven by change.

2. Yes, I agree that contemporary world is characterized by high liquidity. For example, the flow or
exchange of ideas moves faster than before. A product of globalization, the Internet, helps the modern
world to exchange/communicate ideas and information easily. I also think that by “high liquidity” means
“change is permanent”. There is no assertion here about discontinuity, randomness, or complete
absence of "structure". Indeed, the quotation explicitly allows that there a structure which implies that
they persist over some period of time; and it observes, reasonably enough, that structures change and
extinguish.

which is accepted as the reason of the transformations. While the concept of globalization is defined in

economically is that it emphasizes the increase in foreign investments, the increasing importance of
multinational companies, the economical interdependence of countries and increasing unlimited capital
flows.
