Activity I

Give your insights or opinions regarding the following global problems.

1. How did global issues affect the Filipinos and the Philippines?
Globalization has created numerous job opportunities for all Filipinos in the Philippines. The
government encourages foreign companies to set up shop and provides many opportunities for
Filipino workers to work abroad. The impact of globalization makes the Philippine community
more aware of what is going on in the country. It also gives many Filipinos the impression that
they should be more knowledgeable about Philippine society. Globalization is currently more
effective in the Philippines because it benefits local and foreign businesses, culture, education,
and the economy.
Globalization can help Filipinos understand their country's international status and rights. The
Philippines has also been friendly to a foreign country, and they now keep in touch in terms of
product exchange and some investment. Globalization has also contributed significantly to the
advancement of local and social culture in the Philippines. Through investments and some
business opportunities, it also connects relationships in other countries.
2. Give another positive effect of globalization. Explain your answer.
Globalization has the potential to increase employment opportunities.
 It will increase Filipino employment because of the opportunities for many foreign
countries to set up businesses here, and there are many job vacancies for Filipinos.
There are numerous multinational corporations that have established themselves in the
Philippines and have hired a large number of Filipinos to work for them. Furthermore,
globalization has the advantage of allowing people to work in different countries. There
are many overseas Filipino workers who work in other countries and can be successful.
Because of the World Trade Organization, anyone can work in a different country and
live there as a citizen of the country they live in. Foreign companies are expanding in the
Philippines, and many Filipinos are now working for them.
3. Give another negative effect of globalization. Explain your answer.
Globalization is not also good in terms of environment and effect to human being.
 Because we all know that if the government assists Filipino farmers by providing modern
technology that can create or produce as much rice grain in every quarter of the year,
they can produce a lot of rice. The country itself has an abundance of natural resources,
and if the government teaches all Filipinos how to value and preserve our natural
resources, we will no longer need to export some products to other countries. Filipinos
are gifted and hardworking people. If every Filipino backed the Philippine government,
the Philippines could become one of the richest countries in Asia. However, because of
the modern technology available, the effect of globalization can sometimes encourage
Filipinos to be lazy and unproductive.
4. Explain the graphic organizer of the Impact of Globalization.

5. What is Globalization? Explain it with your own words and ideas.

 Globalization has led to the movement of goods and services, people, capital, and
knowledge across borders.
6. Explain the effects of globalization to the following ideas:
Religion
 It has an impact on religion, specifically on the methods religions use for teaching,
proselytizing, and belief systems. Notable developments include the fact that any
religion can now spread beyond national borders, allowing even small new religious
movements to engage in overseas proselytization activities and leading to previously
unseen religious developments.
Ethnic
 Ethnic identity has emerged as a useful discourse through which people can process and
articulate their experiences.
Technology
  Globalization accelerates technological development. It intensifies global knowledge
flow points. Globalization enables countries to gain easier access to foreign knowledge.
Furthermore, it increases international competition, including as a result of the rise of
emerging market firms, which strengthens firms' incentives to innovate and adopt
foreign technologies.
Health care
 Health care administrations are influenced by globalization. Developed nations can
attract clients by advertising high-quality well-being care at a lower cost than is available
in their home country.
Climate change
 Globalization causes an increase in global demand, which leads to an increase in
production. This indirectly contributes to environmental exploitation and the depletion
of natural resources.
Poverty
 Governments and international organizations are increasingly focused on the impact of
globalization on poverty eradication. Economic arguments for globalization emphasize
the positive relationships between increased international trade and investment flows
and faster economic growth, higher living standards, accelerated innovation, the
diffusion of technological and management skills, and new economic opportunities.
Migration across nations
 The impact of earlier globalization on cross-border development of individuals and work
has been much more limited. Later globalization patterns have been characterized by
more notable integration of global markets for goods, services, and capital. The central
idea is that growing social, financial, and social interconnectivity, as exemplified by
"globalization," has encouraged ever-increasing movement between nations.
Population
 Globalization may have an impact on populations, but not necessarily on population
growth. It could go either way, and in my opinion, it's already headed in the direction of
rapid depopulation. This is not obvious to most people because the majority of people
live in cities, but to demographers, the declining numbers of people in certain sectors of
the population are very clear.

Demography
 According to official statistics, globalization has resulted in a rapid increase in people's
portability from the country to towns and cities.
Education
 It promotes student collaboration and the exchange of ideas. Because teamwork is
essential in both the academic and business worlds, learning to actively contribute is a
valuable skill for students to acquire.
 7. Differentiate Global North from Global South

 The Global North is made up of the most economically developed societies. While the
countries of the Global North are affluent, technologically advanced, politically stable,
and aging, their societies have zero population growth.

8. Explain the importance of social media in social globalization.

 It expands opportunities for firms in less developed countries to enter more and larger
markets around the world. As a result, businesses in developing countries have greater
access to capital flows, technology, human capital, lower-cost imports, and larger export
markets.

9. What is contemporary world?

 A continuously changing mix of social and political changes.

10. Give me one question that you want to ask to the world.
 .
Activity II
Task 1: In a bond paper, make a slogan/campaign about Environment. It will be graded
based on its content, creativity/ artistry, originality and message.

Task 2:
Observe
your
surroundings or environment. Give me an enormous phenomenal change that
happened in your community.

Task 3: Make an essay on how you will change the world.

Activity III
Give your opinion on different ideas about Environment.
1. How will you protect our forest and mountains from deforestation?
 By planting trees
 Waste segregations

2. How can you protect the environment?

 By just doing the three R's: reuse, reduce, and recycle, we should keep in mind that we
should take care of and protect the environment we have because it’s the main source
of our living. And waste management.

3. Differentiate living (biotic) or non-living (abiotic) things.

 Biotic factors refer to all living beings in an ecosystem, whereas abiotic factors refer to
all non-living components in an ecosystem such as physical conditions (temperature, pH,
humidity, salinity, sunlight, etc.) and chemical agents (different gases and mineral
nutrients present in the air, water, soil, etc.).
4. Who do you think is responsible for preserving the world’
s environments?
 Of course, us, as a human being we supposed to be take care the environment that we
have that gave us. So that the next generation will still see how beautiful the nature is.
5. What is the role of the government in protecting the environment?

The role of the government is;

 Restore the natural part of the ecosystem.

 Help small producers in the agricultural industry.
 Promote green energy.
