ACTIVITY :

1.) Identify the extent of Globalization.

 Economic globalization is measured by the actual flows of trade, foreign direct investment and
portfolio investment, as well as the restrictions applying to these flows.
Social globalization is expressed as the spread of ideas, information, images and people. It is
estimated by personal contact (international telephone traffic, transfers, tourism, foreign
population, and international letters), information flows (Internet users, television ownership,
trade in newspapers), and cultural proximity (number of McDonald’s restaurants, number of
Ikea shops and trade in books).
Political globalization is characterized by the degree of political cooperation. It is measured by
the number of embassies, membership of international organizations, participation in UN
Security Council missions, and number of international treaties signed.

2.) Define Globalization.

 Globalization, or globalisation (Commonwealth English; see spelling differences), is the process

of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments worldwide.
Globalization has accelerated since the 18th century due to advances in transportation and
communication technology. This increase in global interactions has caused a growth in
international trade and the exchange of ideas, beliefs, and culture. Globalization is primarily an
economic process of interaction and integration that is associated with social and cultural
aspects. However, disputes and diplomacy are also large parts of the history of globalization,
and of modern globalization.

3.) Differentiate the competing conceptions of Globalization.

 The hyphen in inter-national is to distinguish (inadequate) conceptions of the global' founded on

the existing even if changing system of nation-states, from (genuine) conceptions of the global
based on the emergence of global processes and a global system of social relations not founded
on national characteristics or nation-states. This global system theory is the framework for my
own research. Globalization studies can be categorized on the basis of four research clusters:1.
The world-systems approach; 2. The global culture approach; 3. The global society approach; 4.
The global capitalism approach;The body of the paper is an exposition and critique of these
approaches. The paper argues that the global capitalism approach is most productive for theory
and research in globalization and concludes with a brief discussion of resistances to
globalization.

4.) Identify the underlying philosophies of the varying definitions of Globalization.

 Globalization is a matter of scientific advancements from the invention of the wheel, to the
invention of the telegram, to the invention of the internet. Schools of naturalist thinking, that is,
 refinement of data from sense perception, primacy of physical reality, natural logic, poof as
objective, certainty, math as measurement tool are some of the fundamentals of science. The
underlying principal good is human power over nature.
Globalism is a political method of action based on expansion of voting to all spheres of life,
formal equality of outcomes, skepticism, pluralism, relativism, collectivism. A globalist, per se,
seeks to influence groups and structures around the world. The underlying principal goal is
power over humans. Globalism does not uphold a universal good.

Q. Do you have any family friends, or relatives living in other countries? Do you communicate with
them? Have you been to other countries (for liesure, work, or studies, among others?)

 I am the first child of my parents, we live in Masiu Lanao del sur , my tita's and tito's live in Luzon
because they can't leave their business there , they're having a vacation once in a 10 years but
we been in luzon once too during the marawi siege.
My cousin is in the other country his name is Alano so, he didn't visit us because his boss didn't
allowed him to have a vacation because the company need a worker but he said that this year
he well have a vacation.
So through Social Media we interact to each other. I feel they're also here in our side when we
having vedio call. And I feel connected to the word because of internet amd through this we will
have a lot of friends.

Q. Write down your groups definitions of Globalization. The group many research on different
definitions of Globalization.

Globalization means the speedup of movements and exchanges (of human beings, goods, and services,
capital, technologies or cultural practices) all over the planet. One of the effects of globalization is that it
promotes and increases interactions between different regions and populations around the globe.

The process of globalizing something; specif., the expansion of many businesses into markets
throughout the world, marked by an increase in international investment, the proliferation of large
multinational corporations, worldwide economic integration, etc.

The definition of globalization is the process of growing and expanding to exist throughout the entire
world.

Operating around the world. Although many large companies have globalized for decades, the Web,
more than any other phenomenon, has enabled the smallest company to have a global presence.

Q. Based on the definitions share by the different groups, what are the common characteristics of
Globalization?

1.Globalization is Not a New, Western Concept:

When ancient Indian scriptures mentioned “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, they had already viewed the
world as a small global village of linked families. When our grandmother started her stories with “Saat
samundar paar…”, she also meant that we are not alone in this Universe, and the world is cohabited by
others too at far off places.

2. Globalization is Basically a ‘Mindset’:

Usually, Globalization is seen as another economic theory to enhance business & trade. It must be
understood that Globalization is basically a mindset that is ready to encapsulate the whole universe into
its scheme of things; a mindset that is broader & open to receive all ideas; that takes the whole globe as
an area of operation.

3. Globalization is an Opportunity:

It is often feared that the implementation of Globalization will open up our domestic economy for
foreign competition, thereby endangering economic progress & survival of local firms. While it does
open our markets for entry of multinationals, it also opens all other markets in the whole world for our
products & services too. Why can’t it be seen as an opportunity to scale up our operations globally?

4. Globalization means “Interdependence”:

We have all grown reading history wherein either a country is independent or a slave of another
country. With the advent of Globalization, it has been understood that no country can be said to be
totally independent, not needing anything from any other country. Hence, a culture of interdependence
has been established between nations.

5. Globalization means “Caring & Sharing”:

The world today is more united and concerned about common problems being faced by the people- be
it global warming, terrorism, or malnutrition etc. natural disasters faced or atrocities encountered at any
part of the world attract immediate attention all over.

6. Globalization puts Technology in Service of Mankind:

The world would not have shrunk into a small global village without the support of technological
innovations like Computers, Internet, Telecommunication, E-Commerce etc. Thus, technology has
proved to be the major source of the concept of Globalization, and for bringing people

nearer.

7. Globalization is Inevitable & Irreversible:

There have been attempts by fundamentalist forces all over the world to oppose and stop the process of
Globalization over past quarter century. Yet, despite differences in political ideologies, the ruling parties
have gone ahead with implementation of Globalization policies. It is rightly said, “You can not stop the
advent of an idea whose time has come”. Globalization is one such idea.

8. Globalization has Linked Politics with Economics:

Earlier, political ideologies and relations between nations have determined the fate of people over
centuries; with economics being subservient to politics. However, in the new era, it is the economics,
employment generation and public welfare that determine the need & strength of relations between
nations.

9. Globalization means Raised Standards of Living:

With consumers having more choice to pick quality items at right price, and with no boundary
restrictions on flow of goods & services, the markets have turned from ‘Sellers Market’ to ‘Buyers
Market’. This has helped in raising the standard of living for vast populations across the world. It has also
raised aspirations among billions of people to upgrade their lifestyles.

10. Globalization Demands and Respects Excellence:

With global level opportunities available to all the countries, the field is wide open for the excellent
companies, products and people from any remote part of the world to showcase their excellence and
win over markets and contracts. There is pressure on everyone to continuously improve to meet the
raised bar of expectations.

Q. What do the groups definitions highlight in Globalization (i. e. Economic aspect, cultural aspect
etc.)

 Globalization is the word used to describe the growing interdependence of the world's
economies, cultures, and populations, brought about by cross-border trade in goods and
services, technology, and flows of investment, people, and information.

Prepare a 1,500-word essay on how you view Globalization " My perspectives on globalization ". The
essay should highlight how you define globalization, what are its contributions to social and economic
development and what limitaions of globalization as it is currently implemented. You should back up
your main arguments with references.

Globalization means the speedup of movements and exchanges (of human beings, goods, and services,
capital, technologies or cultural practices) all over the planet. One of the effects of globalization is that it
promotes and increases interactions between different regions and populations around the globe.

globalization can be defined as ” the increased interconnectedness and interdependence of peoples and
countries. It is generally understood to include two inter-related elements: the opening of international
borders to increasingly fast flows of goods, services, finance, people and ideas; and the changes in
institutions and policies at national and international levels that facilitate or promote such flows.”

globalization can be defined as: the increasing interdependence of world economies as a result of the
growing scale of cross-border trade of commodities and services, the flow of international capital and
the wide and rapid spread of technologies. It reflects the continuing expansion and mutual integration
of market frontiers (…) and the rapid growing significance of information in all types of productive
activities and marketization are the two major driving forces for economic globalization.”
globalization is defined as the set of processes (economic, social, cultural, technological, institutional)
that contribute 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.

The ability of countries to rise above narrow self-interest has brought unprecedented economic wealth
and plenty of applicable scientific progress. However, for different reasons, not everyone has been
benefiting the same from globalization and technological change: wealth is unfairly distributed and
economic growth came at huge environmental costs.

The result is a smaller, more connected world. Socially, globalization has facilitated the exchange of
ideas and cultures, contributing to a world view in which people are more open and tolerant of one
another. The social dimension of globalization refers to the impact of globalization on the life and work
of people, on their families, and their societies. Concerns and issues are often raised about the impact of
globalization on employment, working conditions, income and social protection. Beyond the world of
work, the social dimension encompasses security, culture and identity, inclusion or exclusion and the
cohesiveness of families and communities.

In general, globalization decreases the cost of manufacturing. This means that companies can offer
goods at a lower price to consumers. The average cost of goods is a key aspect that contributes to
increases in the standard of living. Consumers also have access to a wider variety of goods. Economic
globalization refers to the increasing interdependence of world economies as a result of the growing
scale of cross-border trade of commodities and services, flow of international capital and wide and rapid
spread of technologies.

First, I'm not sure what the real meaning is of this question. Is it "where will globalisation end?" or is it
"what are the limitations and drawbacks of globalisation?"

In terms of the drawbacks, I have to say that I've been a little surprised, speaking as a British person, to
read answers on this site from Americans complaining about globalisation. They bemoan the fact that it
has caused global companies to export their jobs to other countries where labour and other costs are
lower. The practice of moving production sites to developing countries has clearly been a bugbear for
Trump and his supporters, given his tweets on Harley-Davidson, General Motors and the like and the
"crusade" to bring those manufacturing jobs back to the US. But if you live in one of the countries of the
world that the US has corporately colonised with its ubiquitous operations - McDonalds, Apple,
Monsanto, Coke, Pepsi, KFC, Microsoft, Kraft, Esso, Texaco, Kellogg, Kodak, Philip Morris, Walmart, IBM,
Dell, General Motors, General Electric, Hoover, Amazon, Boeing, Ford, plus the banks and financial
institutions, defence installations… the list goes on and on - if you live in one of those countries then it's
hard to feel a lot of sympathy for those Americans who have lived the good life for years as a result of
their corporations pushing their products to the rest of us all around the globe only to be hoist by their
own petard when their jobs go too from the next stage in the same process.

If the question is "where will globalisation end?" then the answer should be that it will end when we get
to the point where every country has an equal ratio of domestic consumption and production, when
every country has a similar level of GDP per capita, when manufacturing costs are the same everywhere
because wages are the same everywhere, and when people are no longer exploited in developing
countries to feed the greed of those in the richer world. There will be no more "developing countries"
because there will be no more potential left to develop.

Unfortunately, though, I don't believe that the world will ever get to that point, because in order to
preserve the status quo - i.e. the one that suits the big players now - vested interests will start trade
wars and maybe even real wars so as to devalue other countries before they can get into a truly
competitive position.
