Globalization is a complex phenomenon not to
mention the various perspectives that described it. It
accompanies positive and negative impacts that drive
to a development of anti-globalization. It was
intensely studied on to how it could influence our
future. With the quick augmentation of westernization
that outcomes for the littler countries to be
concealed, we were unable to reject that it would be a
test to totally forsake it. It affects almost all aspects of
relations may it be political, social, cultural and even
environmental. As a citizen that belongs to a still
developing country, globalization is seen as beneficial
rather than a threat. Through globalization more jobs
are being created and emerging over time. It also

am more curious about how globalization would play

continue to bring wealth and foreign currency to local
economies that could give jobs and extra money for
education, health and infrastructure or would it mean
more wealth to transnational companies, with their
massive economies that could drive local companies
out of business.

Activity No. 2 Aspects of Globalization (20 points)
Individual
Do a counter-narrative/s based on the statement below on how globalization influence culture. Cite your source/s.
Globalization Process: Cultural Globalization
Culture embraces - penetrates, – all spheres of society's
mental and material life and so it is somehow involved into the
process of globalization. For example, the increasing influence and
broad expansion of ‘mass culture’, periodically emerging crises of
morality, the growth of apathy, the sense of abandonment or
defenselessness, etc. bring difficulties and contradictions. In addition,
YOUTH has been the main object of manipulation of mass media,
political, religious, and criminal and other groups.
Counter-Narrative/s
Our darling items, food, apparel, TV programs, films, and even our music
tastes are affected by globalization. All that appear to be obtained as we
gradually acclimatize and some may overlook our own image or identity. I can
say this made a thought process to why anti-globalization was conceptualized
for they consider globalization to be a danger to national economies and
especially to the national identity. In any case, it is obscure to state that it
might take a national identity. When a nation is affected doesn't mean it loses
its worth, take a gander at Japan's music industry explicitly the Hip-hop music
of Japan. The hip-hop music of Japan is supposed to be propelled by African-
American black music that their musical traditions are rarely pure and are
spliced into hybrid forms. Certainly, acquired however not actually the
equivalent, for “Local cultures embrace musical forms from other cultures
while modifying them”. It turned into a trade as they likewise made a big deal
about their own. The now trending K pop groups we adore are also making it
big in the music industry and gaining recognition worldwide. I’m sure you
remember the time everyone was dancing to “Gangnam style” by PSY and it
was almost impossible not to hear it, different languages but using American
beats, incorporating different languages to lyrics, collaboration with different
artists with various nationalities, all are examples of globalization of a bigger
force but not being completely assimilated. Nevertheless, I do agree with the
youth being the main object of manipulation. The youth assume a function in
media utilization the same amount of as, if not in any way, shape or form
more than adults. Particularly this day and age, the utilization of technology is
 beginning more youthful than at any other time. Kids have iPhones and online
media accounts far earlier than past ages. Their introduction to media is
constant. This availability to media shapes society, particularly the youth since
they are not as educated and ground disapproved as compared to a mature
adult. This makes more viable to manipulation. Globalization may be viewed as
a danger to the world's social decent variety that it may muffle neighborhood
conventions, and dialects however I figure it could never absolutely change
over a general public for there will consistently be a trade between them. I've
seen the endeavors of individuals attempting to save their traditions and
conventions, I've likewise observed them adjust to the changing of the
occasions, dismiss what isn't helpful and keep what is successful. All things
considered, we could infer that globalization is a two-sided coin, one that
brings comfort that reinforces the economy or a disputable obstacle that
further isolates the classes and countries.
