 GLOBALIZATION
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.
 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."
 GLOBALIZATION
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.
Factors That Cause Globalization

1. Migration - is a movement to
another place, often of a large
group of people.
 Factors That Cause Globalization

2. Labor - is defined as work,

especially hard physical work.
 Types of Globalization
1. 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.
 EXAMPLES
• 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.
 Types of Globalization

2. 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
 Types of Globalization
3. 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.
FOUR DISTINCT ROLES

1. Policy development
2. Regulation
3. Facilitation
4. Internal sustainability management
 Types of Globalization

4. 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.
 Types of Globalization
5. 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 83rd out of
138 countries in terms of technological readiness,
according to the Department of Science and
Technology (DOST).
 Types of Globalization
6. 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).
 Types of Globalization
7. 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.
 Positive and Negative
Effects of Globalization
POSITIVE EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION

 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.
 POSITIVE EFFECTS OF
GLOBALIZATION
 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.
 NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION

 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

 People refer to a group of people with

commonality, such as religion, culture and
language who lives in a specific area.
 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
-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:
 COOPERATION
a. benefits some individuals in a group,
b. meets their personal needs, and
c. may result in disrupted innovation
