IV. LIQUID FLOWS
I. SOLID (SOLIDARITY) • Flows are integral liquidity.
• People, things, info, and place that “harden” • According to Appadurai (1990) Flows are

• Everywhere we turn, more things becoming

• Ease of movement of people, services, products • Global flows do not occur in isolation from one-
from one place to another. many different flows interconnect at various

like immobility like Elites and other people. • Interconnected:
• Melting is a result of Globalization o Shipping- exchanging of materials or
(metaphorically saying) products. Also, it may involve in illegal
• Examples trades like unauthorized goods, illegal
o Stocks, Currencies, Trading, Threats product etc.

III. GAS (GASEOUSNESS) B. MULTI-DIMENSIONAL FLOWS

• Hyper mobility of people, things, information,
and plans in the global age.
• Much of the information now are available
virtually instantly around the world. Wafts
through the air in the form of signals beamed of
satellites.
• All sorts of things flow in every conceivable
direction among all other points in the world.
• It could be reciprocating flow like give and take
and vice versa. And have point of comparison.

• Reciprocate happens when Russian culture to
US culture embraces it like introducing Russian
delicacies (Russia to US)
C. CONFLICTING FLOWS
• The transplanetary process can also conflict with
one another (and with much else)
• Conflicting:
o US and Al Qaeda- shows how
destructive conflict is like 9/11 World
trade twin towers.
o Social conflict
D. REVERSE FLOWS
• Process flowing in one direction and back on
their source (and much else).
• Reverse:
o Sharing of culture- tourist interact with
local there is reverse exchange of
culture.
o Pollution- because it can be exported
commonly, and best example is air
pollution that backflows or boomerang
effect.
▪ Ex. Factories
V. WEIGHTLESS
• Clearly moves far more easily (even globally)
than which is either heavy or light.
• We are considered as weightless society.
• All things that are invented today are compact.
• Things that move far easily than light structure.
(email to messenger message real time)
• Examples
o Invention of internet like 4g to 5g,
digitization of music from xylophone –
vinyl – cassette – cd – mp3 – spotify
(current streaming platform)
VI. LIGHT
• The ease of movement.
• Global microstructure is light compared to
bureaucratic systems.
• It depends on head of the org and they can
freely add rules and regulations to be done
efficiently.
• Global microstructure- are systems of integration
that is global in structure but small in size; Every
country/continent has representation of groups
so they can perform easily;

o China invents paper instead on writing
on a clay tablet, financial markets
(currency trades peso to dollars), global
terrorist groups
VII. HEAVY
• Characterized by that which is difficult to move.
• Also applies to the effort or kind of work done
before the creation of advanced technologies.

• Heavy makes things faster and expedite things
and does not hinder things.
o Transportation and technology made all
sorts of industrial products smaller and
LIGHTER and is easier to transport.
• Examples
o Buildings are heavy structures but help
us (organize and people transact or
work smoothly).
o Innovation: from hammer and nail to nail
gun
E. HEAVY STRUCTURES THAT
EXPEDITE FLOWS
1. HOLDOVERS FROM PRE-GLOBAL WORLD
• This was made or invented during earlier times
