Before there was Internet, people sent correspondences and
personal messages internationally using the following:

The telegram's cost was

based on the number of
words, encouraging
senders to use as few
words as possible to
convey their message. This
led to a direct style of
writing that does not use
any unnecessary detail.
Letters are written communications that can be
lengthy or detailed, allowing the sender to express
thoughts, feelings, or information without
limitation.
They are typically
sent through postal
services and can take
days to reach their
destination,
depending on the
distance and mail
service efficiency.
Overseas calls using a telephone are typically
charged at higher rates and may be subject to
additional fees such as connection charges and
surcharges. A caller must be familiar with the IDD
prefix as well as the country code of the person he
wishes to call. In the earlier days, calls were placed
via long-distance telephone operators. Billing was
based on the distance and duration of the call.
In the early and late 1980’s, one most popular
means of reaching out to loved ones from
abroad to their families in the Philippines was
through “voice tapes.”
It took about a month or
months for a taped
recorded voice message
to be played by their
families using cassette
tape players.
 GLOBALIZATION
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.”
 Globalization is a process of interaction
and integration among the people,
companies, and governments of different
nations. It is a process driven by
international trade and investment and
aided by information technology.
 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.
 Positive Effects of Globalization
It creates opportunities for countries to connect to
other countries for larger markets.
This can lead to more access to 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 Effects of Globalization
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.
Some factors that affect globalization.
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.

 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.
 COLLABORATION and COOPERATION
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.
Parts of a
Whole
In the world we live in, we are the parts and the society is
the whole. The question is how can we become a
productive part of the society we live in? Some
important factors that we have to consider as part of the
whole society are the following:
1. Primary Identity or Individuation- it is
defined as the concept of personal identity.
These are the norms that an individual
learns through the society.
Examples:
a. Values
b. Attitudes
c. Beliefs
2. Secondary Identity- it is also known as social
identity. As a child gets socialized with the society he
participates in the construction of his secondary
identity. This includes the roles and statuses that the
individual has to perform as part of his society.
Examples:
a. Occupation often corresponds
with income and educational
attainment. However, occupations
with high occupational prestige can
increase one's social class without
a corresponding increase in
indicators, such as income.
b. Educational background
includes your high school and
in college
c. Economic status can be
considered by your
occupation and income.
d. Gender refers to the socially constructed
roles, behaviors, activities and attributes that a
given society considers appropriate for men
and women.
 STATUS

school diploma.
Status refers to an
individual’s position in
society which carries with
it a set of defined rights
and obligations. Roles
refer to the sets of
expectation which occupy
a particular status
(Alejandria 2015).
 6 Principles of Gestalt Laws Applied to
Global Networks as Part of Society
a. Figure refers to the people in a nation which may vary
in terms of color, size etc.
b. Similarity states the things which share characteristics
such as shape, size, color, texture, and good composition
(geographical setting and characteristics of different
nation)
c. Proximity states that “objects or shapes that are close
to one another appear to form groups”. Even if the
shapes, sizes, and objects are radically different, they
will appear as a group if they are close together. (Refers
to close neighboring countries which possess same
cultural background etc.)
d. Closure involves the provision of missing details to be a
part of potential pattern or once closure is achieved, the
elimination of details unnecessary to establish a pattern match.
Examples are governance, laws, and others.
e. Continuity states that things tend to continue shapes beyond
their ending points (interconnections to cross countries,
essence of globalization or evolution of generation).

f. Symmetry or Order connotes

stability and peace and order, like
sets of instruction or reference. It
does not give the impression of
things that “something is out of
balance, missing or wrong.”
Gestalt
Principles:
These principles,
also known as the
Laws of Perception,
explain how our
brains seek patterns
and associations.
They’re not only relevant to psychologists
but also to visual artists, educators, and
communicators.
