    GLOBALIZATION
     Globalize: creation of international network of
    economic systems where there is the establishment
    of interdependence and interconnectedness
    between the varied socio-cultural, economic, and
    political components of the world

    interdependence relying on each other is a necessity


    Increased interconnectedness opening of
    international borders allowing flows of goods,
    services, finance, people, and ideas
    “global age”
    (Albrow,
    Globalization: 1996)

    and dependence

    METAPHOR WHICH BEST DESCRIBES GLOBALIZATION IS
    LIQUIDITY

     Solid: Barriers that make difficult the movement of


    things.
     Natural (geography, bodies of water, land itself)
     man-made (policies, UNCLOS, West Philippine Sea caused the
    difficulty of our fishermen)
    METAPHOR WHICH BEST DESCRIBES GLOBALIZATION IS
    LIQUIDITY

     Liquid: increasing ease of movement of people, things,


    info, and places in the contemporary world.
     Space and time are crucial elements of globalization. (e.g.
    global finance, stocks are a matter of seconds)
     Movement is difficult to stop (e.g. once viral, it’s difficult to
    stop)
     DIFFICULTY TO REGULATE TRANSACTIONS AND MOVEMENTS
    METAPHOR WHICH BEST DESCRIBES
    GLOBALIZATION IS LIQUIDITY

     Flows are the movement of people,


    things, places, and information brought
    about by the growing “porosity” of global
    limitations.
     e.g. food such as ramen, sushi, fries, burger
     global financial systems- financial crisis of one
    country affects another,
     Immigrants
     virtual flow of legal and illegal information
    such as pornography
    Theories of Globalization see it as a process of increasing:

    1. Homogeneity
    Standard?
     Increasing sameness in the world as cultural inputs, economic
    factors, and political orientations of societies expand to create
    common practices, same economies, and similar forms of
    government
     Often refers to cultural imperialism where one culture influences
    other cultures
     E.g. Christianity by the Spaniards, Americanization (images,
    behavior), in terms of economy, the spread of neoliberalism
    Theories of Globalization see it as a
    process of increasing:

    2. Heterogeneity
     Creation of various cultural practices, new economies,
    and political groups because of the interaction of
    elements from different societies in the world
     Preserving or strengthening cultural identity (ex.
    Bollywood vs Hollywood, Kpop vs American Pop)
