Solid & Liquid

• Solidity

 An imaginary line such as the nine-dash line use by the People’s Republic of China in
their claim to the South China Sea is an example of modern man-made solid.
• Liquid, as state of matter, takes the shape of its container which mean liquids are not
fixed, therefore, refers to the increasing ease of movement of people,things,
information & places in the contemporary world
LIQUID SOLID & FLOW
• Liquidity & solidity
• are in constant interaction,liquidity is the one increasing & proliferating today.Therefore, the metaphor that could best
describe globalization is liquidity.
• Flows
• Flows are the movement of people, things,places & information brought by the growing“porosity” of global limitations
(Ritzer, 2015)
• Think
• the different foreign cuisines being patronized & consumed by the Filipinos. Aside fromthe local dishes, many of us are
fond of eating sushi, ramen, hamburger, & French fries
• food introduced to us by foreign cultures. Clearly, foods are being globalized.
