Global Networks

Globalization

As cited in the 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.
Since the invention of the concept, globalization has inspired
numerous definitions and has had a history going back in time to the great
commercial and imperialist movements throughout Asia and the Indian
Ocean since the fifteenth century.
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.

 It can be linked to the local, the national and the regional. On the
one hand, a connection is made between social and economic relationships
and networks, organized on a local or national, on the other hand, it
connects social and economic relationships and networks formed on wider
scale the regional and global interactions.
It is a process of interaction and integration among the people,
companies, and governments of different nations. A process driven by
international trade and investment and aided by information technology.
This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political
systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical
well-being on societies around the world. 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. Some of the factors that cause globalization are migration and
labor.

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.

Types of Globalization

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.
• 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

3
 a notion of direct control. In 2019, China and South Korea followed
Singapore as the largest investors in the Philippines.

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

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. The government has four distinct roles
in addressing sustainability concerns. These roles are as follows:
1. Policy development
2. Regulation
3. Facilitation
4. Internal sustainability management

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.

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).

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).

4
 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.

Let us now identify some positive and negative effects of Globalization.

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.

5
 Try to imagine how can we connect to our loved ones especially in this
time of pandemic without technologies? Cell phones connect people all over
the world like never before. There are a multitude of platforms through which
people can communicate too, including Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp,
Instagram, and Snapchat.
Considering the new normal education, how can we enroll in our online
educational programs in school from anywhere in the Philippines without the
different platforms and access new information on virtual topics?

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.
