Lesson2: Activity 2
Make a college a poster, or a slogan about the impact of globalization on communication. Then
explain your work.
Today, globalization established its growth due to advances in transportation and communication
technology. To define globalization, it is the process of interaction and integration among people,
companies and government worldwide. In this case, the process of globalization truly affected
communication. Every discovery, advancement or innovation in this world has its pros and cons. This
poster slogan shows how does globalization affects communication particularly in global
communication and social networking sites. As a representation of this positive and negative effects
of globalization to communication, the main object or symbol in this poster slogan is the human
person that is divided into two sides. The positive side, wearing formal attire symbolizes people who
makes global communication beneficial and useful. In simpler terms, the right side is the advantages
of global communication. In contrary, the left side shows people who are manipulated by social media
and other networking sites as a platform for destructive acts.
Internet is one of the breakthroughs of globalization. In the positive side, there are 3 things that I
want to emphasize as I interpret our poster slogan. Opportunities, connectivity and information.
Obviously, these are just some of the benefits of globalization in communication. In global
communication as it is symbolized as a megaphone as tool that can be defined communicating to a
person from another or group in any part of the world. An example of this is sending an email to a
certain person that can be accessed anywhere in the world. This global communication results to
business opportunities. The email is their easiest and most convenient way to communicate or send
proposals. Next is the connectivity among people. In just a single click you can connect with someone
who is far from you. Lastly is information, accessing and gaining knowledge from the internet is just a
click away nowadays. You can search anything under the sun because of internet. Moreover, the
downfall of this advantages are also the disadvantages that the globalization has to offer in
communication. There are a lot of cases now showing how social media could manipulate people. The
chain on the arms of the main object in the poster slogan symbolizes how people are already hooked
on the information and stories they get from social media and other social networking sites. An
examples for this is fakes news that a lot of people do not know how to filter information they get
from the internet then end up believing on an unreliable source. This may result to
misunderstandings, issues like bullying and conflicts in communication among people. Lastly is the
tape that symbolizes how the truth is unrevealed from those victim of this bad effect of globalization
in communication. Many are already manipulated by false information and its hard to broadcast the
truth in such cases.
Introspecting
In this lesson on Communication and Globalization. I learned that to be a global communication, I
learned in the globalization of communication will further increase people's knowledge towards
communication education. People's communication and opportunities to learn other languages will be
improved. The culture of neighboring countries will be given more attention in order to share the
beauty of this country. will increase the credibility of the people because more will be learned the
language of foreigners which will yield knowledge. But with the opening of the country to other
countries, and the awareness of the people here can have a negative impact. Citizens may be dazzled
and just focus on other cultures. With the advent of technology, communication will be more limited
and virtual reality or life on social media will prevail.
Activity 3
Firming up
In what specific ways can you enhance your ability to communicate with people from diverse
cultures?
I can study their language or culture first so that when we talk we don't get into trouble and we
understand each other better. for I already know something about the culture, habits and lives of
others.
Concretizing
1. Human beings draw close to one another by their common natures, but habits and custom keep
them a part"Confucius
I agree human being are social creatures, social interaction or intimacy is important. Connecting with
others. It's just how we are. The one thing that keep us apart is our habits, custom that we grew used
to. So if we see something different than we we're used to, our reaction would be like that that's
weird. Sometimes people take other's differences soPersonally they end up very hateful. You can
literally see this in the world as we speak. In example racism it's every where. Whether it be extreme
or casual racism, it still racism, racism is bad. But it happens, the best that we can do to move forward
as a species is put our difference aside and accept each other.
Instrospecting
In this lesson on Local and Globalization Communication in Multicultural Setting helped me a realize
that,Communication is hazard and there are a lot of barriers in socializing.
