Activity 1: WHAT’S NEW

Directions: “What comes into your mind when you hear the word “Globalization”? Fill in your answers
using the concept map. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.”

WHAT IS IT

Globalization
As cited in the Revisitadestatica (2012), the term globalization refers to the emergence of an
international network, belonging to an economic and social system. One of the earliest uses of the term
“globalization”, as known, was in 1930 – in a publication entitled “Towards New Education” to designate
an overview of the human experience in education.
Since the invention of the concept, globalization has inspired numerous definitions and has had a
history going back in time to the great commercial and imperialist movements throughout Asia and the
Indian Ocean since the fifteenth century.
Roland Robertson, a professor of sociology at the University of Aberden, was the first person
who defined globalization as “the understanding of the world and the increased perception of the world as
a whole.”
Martin Albrow and Elizabeth King, sociologists, define globalization as “all those processes by
which the peoples of the world are incorporated into a single world society.
It can be linked to the local, the national and the regional. On the one hand, a connection is made
between social and economic relationships and networks, organized on a local or national, on the other
hand, it connects social and economic relationships and networks formed on wider scale the regional and
global interactions.

It is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of
different nations. A process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information
technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic
development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being on societies around the world. For many
developing nations, globalization has led to an improvement in standard of living through improved roads
and transportation, improved health care, and improved education due to the global expansion of
corporations. However, globalization has had a negative effect on individuals who live in developed
nations. Some of the factors that cause globalization are migration and labor.
Migration is a movement to another place, often of a large group of people.
Labor is defined as work, especially hard physical work.
People are more willing to move between different countries today in search for work.
Remittances now play a large role in transfers from developed countries to developing countries.
Types of Globalization
Economic Globalization is the increasing economic integration and interdependence of national,
regional, and local economies across the world through an intensification of cross boarder movement of
goods, services, technologies and capital.
Examples:
• Trans-national trades are companies that extend beyond the borders of one country example of these are
Unilever and McDonalds
• World Trade Organization is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade
between nations. The WTO has 164 members and 24 observer governments.
• Foreign Direct Investment is an investment in the form of a controlling ownership in a business in one
country by an entity based in another country. It is thus distinguished from a foreign portfolio investment
by a notion of direct control. In 2019, China and South Korea followed Singapore as the largest investors
in the Philippines.
Social Globalization is a social transformation or process leading to the achievement of people-
centered development. Human-centered development concept is offered as an alternative strategy to bring
about a more equity development outcome.
Examples:
• UN General Assembly
• Partnership of International Development Programs
• Social Integration, Gender Equity and access to Social Services
• HIV/AIDS Awareness
Political Globalization refers to an increasing trend toward multilateralism in an emerging
transnational state apparatus and the emergence of national and international non-governmental
organizations that act as watchdogs over governments. The government has four distinct roles in
addressing sustainability concerns. These roles are as follows:
1. Policy development
2. Regulation
3. Facilitation
4. Internal sustainability management
Financial Globalization is a collective concept that refers to increasing global linkages created
through cross-border financial flows. Financial integration refers to an individual country’s linkages to
international capital markets.

Technological Globalization is accelerated in large part by technological transmission, the

spread of technology across borders. Although the Philippines is not the world’s least technologically
advanced country, it is far from leading. It ranks 83 rd out of 138 countries in terms of technological
readiness, according to the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
Ecological Globalization occurs when ecosystems are constantly exchanging materials through
the movement of air in the atmosphere, the flow of water in rivers and the migration of animals across the
landscape. The world is also becoming highly interconnected through the movement of people and the
transport of goods locally to globally (EurekAlert.com).
Geographical Globalization is defined as the set of processes (economic, social, cultural,
technological, and institutional that contributes to the relationship between societies and individuals
around the world. It is a progressive process by which exchanges and flows between different parts of the
world are intensified.
Let us now identify some positive and negative effects of Globalization.
Positive and Negative Effects of Globalization

Positive
It creates opportunities for countries to connect to
other countries for larger markets.
This can lead to more access capital flows,
technology, human capital, cheaper imports and
larger export markets.
It allows businesses to become part of
international production networks and supply
chains of different countries.
It allows workers to migrate from their homelands
in poorer countries to more developed countries to
find work.
Technologies are introduced to make a narrower
product more efficiently.
Negative
The growth of international trade has worsened
income inequalities between developed,
developing and underdeveloped countries.
Global commerce is increasingly dominated by
transnational corporations which seek to
maximize profits without regard for the
development needs of individual countries.
Competitions among developing countries are
races which dangerously lower environmental
standards.
Parents and children can spend a decade apart,
where they pass their responsibilities to
grandparents.
Many developing countries do not have strict
rules about environmental protection, resulting in
serious air, water, and soil pollution.

Interconnections of People and Nations

Globalization leads to interconnectedness of people and nations, where people refer to a group of
people with commonality, such as religion, culture and language who lives in a specific area, while
nation refers to a larger group of people organized in a specific place, which embodied an independent
government of its country where they can decide on their own.
Try to imagine how can we connect to our loved ones especially in this time of pandemic without
technologies? Cell phones connect people all over the world like never before. There are a multitude of
platforms through which people can communicate too, including Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp,
Instagram, and Snapchat.
Considering the new normal education, how can we enroll in our online educational programs in
school from anywhere in the Philippines without the different platforms and access new information on
virtual topics?
Collaboration means to work together with others to achieve a common goal. Unconditionally
sharing everything and helping each other while mutually working together in cohesive “collective” in
unusual roles embracing talents of each person to synergize or invent something new in a way that:
a. benefits all the groups,
b. serves the whole team’s goal, and
c. may result to creative innovation.

Cooperation is the process of working together to the same end. It is an active help from a
person, organization etc. such as an orderly sharing of space and resources. Cooperation means
conditionally sharing information and resources while functioning together within an independent
“connective” in typical roles with workloads accepted as unequal to change something in a way that:
a. benefits some individuals in a group,
b. meets their personal needs, and
c. may result in disrupted innovation.
