STUDY GUIDE FOR MODULE NO. 1

INTRODUCTION AND CONCEPTS OF GLOBALIZATION

MODULE OVERVIEW

This module will introduce you to the various drivers of the globalization process, with the
specific focus on economics and politics. Although it emphasizes that you experience globalization
on an “everyday” level, you must also realize that there are big institutions that create large-scale
changes. This unit will first trace the emergence of these institutions historically. It will then move
on to explain how they affect the countries and people today.

Activity 1

How Globalized is your Home?

Instruction: Go to your room and do an inventory of everything you have in your possession. You
will find out that the most essential among “things” in your room are footwear, clothes, computers (if
any), cellphones, television if possible, and maybe a radio. You may also notice books, news- papers,
news magazines, not to mention school supplies, and equipment.
Organize your inventory into two types: First, “things” that are made in the Philippines and
second, those are of foreign brands. List the countries of Origin of your foreign-brand items.
For presentation, you will take a picture for documentation purposes and attach your pictures in this
module.

“Excellence is a won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because

we have virtue of excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.”
