Lesson 1: Globalization
My Stance on Globalization
I am in favor of globalization in a way that we get to experience some of the
goods/products that other countries have and our products/goods will also be featured or
experience in other countries through import and export. We get to work outside the box and by
box I mean outside of our country…to our countries promoting our skills and be able to have a
new perspective in life. Our culture, tourist spot places, foods and services, music and other
more are being advertise and invested with great appreciation juts as we do to other countries as
well.

Lesson 2: History/Theories of Globalization

Activity: Essay Analysis Chart
Apply this chart to Peter Vanham’s “A Brief History of Globalization” from World Economic
Forum. Check your understanding of this essay by filling in the chart below. Use a separate sheet of paper
if necessary.
Introduction (identify the work)

Peter Vanham’s World Economic Forum gave a view pointing upon the history of Globalization, in
brief but significant details to it. In the forum, globalization has been identified as a coming of age
phenomenon that would take over the world stating from the 1st wave, 2nd, 3rd and 4th wave.
Thesis Statement
To make sense of globalization, you must first know how it started, the timeline of its development and
the countries that started it.
Part 1 (explanation and details)
Global trade kicked off in the Age of Discovery. It was in this era, from the end of the 15th
century onwards, that European explorers connected East and West – and accidentally discovered the
Americas. Aided by the discoveries of the so-called “Scientific Revolution” in the fields of astronomy,
mechanics, physics and shipping, the Portuguese, Spanish and later the Dutch and the English first
“discovered”, then subjugated, and finally integrated new lands in their economies.
This started to change with the first wave of globalization, which roughly occurred over the
century ending in 1914. By the end of the 18th century, Great Britain had started to dominate the world
both geographically, through the establishment of the British Empire, and technologically, with
innovations like the steam engine, the industrial weaving machine and more. It was the era of the
First Industrial Revolution. The resulting globalization was obvious in the numbers. For about a
century, trade grew on average 3% per year. That growth rate propelled exports from a share of 6% of
global GDP in the early 19th century, to 14% on the eve of World War I.
In 1914, the outbreak of World War I brought an end to just about everything the burgeoning
high society of the West had gotten so used to, including globalization. The ravage was complete.
Millions of soldiers died in battle, millions of civilians died as collateral damage, war replaced trade,
destruction replaced construction, and countries closed their borders yet again. The Great Depression in
the US led to the end of the boom in South America, and a run on the banks in many other parts of the
world. Another world war followed in 1939-1945. By the end of World War II, trade as a percentage of
world GDP had fallen to 5% – a level not seen in more than a hundred years.
Under the leadership of a new hegemon, the United States of America, and aided by the
technologies of the Second Industrial Revolution, like the car and the plane, global trade started to rise
once again. At first, this happened in two separate tracks, as the Iron Curtain divided the world into two
spheres of influence. But as of 1989, when the Iron Curtain fell, globalization became a truly global
phenomenon.
When the wall dividing East and West fell in Germany, and the Soviet Union collapsed,
globalization became an all-conquering force. The newly created World Trade Organization (WTO)
encouraged nations all over the world to enter into free-trade agreements, and most of them did,
including many newly independent ones.
A new technology from the Third Industrial Revolution, the internet, connected people all over
the world in an even more direct way. In the 2000s, global exports reached a milestone, as they rose
to about a quarter of global GDP. Trade, the sum of imports and exports, consequentially grew to about
half of world GDP. In some countries, like Singapore, Belgium, or others, trade is worth much more
than 100% of GDP. A majority of global population has benefited from this: more people than ever
before belong to the global middle class, and hundred of millions achieved that status by participating
in the global economy.
In a world increasingly dominated by two global powers, the US and China, the new frontier of
globalization is the cyber world. The digital economy, in its infancy during the third wave of
globalization, is now becoming a force to reckon with through e-commerce, digital services, 3D
printing.
A negative globalization is expanding too, through the global effect of climate change.
Pollution in one part of the world leads to extreme weather events in another. And the cutting of forests
in the few “green lungs” the world has left, like the Amazon rainforest, has a further devastating effect
on not just the world’s biodiversity, but its capacity to cope with hazardous greenhouse gas emissions.
In the West particularly, many middle-class workers are fed up with a political and economic system
that resulted in economic inequality, social instability, and – in some countries – mass immigration,
even if it also led to economic growth and cheaper products.
Conclusion
In conclusion, globalization started as a trade between countries in the west and east led by the
great Britain. When world War I broke out, the developing of globalization came to a halt because of
famine, destruction, and others brought by the war. Then globalization continued in the 2 nd and 3rd wave
where free trade and internet is introduced which did a great impact to the economy. And in the 4 th
wave of globalization modernize technologies/digital technologies became a leading target for the
economic industries. And in this era many effects such as pollution, climate change and economic
inequalities. And there are many things to come in the near future when dealing with globalization.

Directions: To compare is to tell how two or more things are alike. To contrast is to tell how
two or more things are different. Clue words such as like or as show comparisons. Clue words such as

themselves. Use this chart to compare and contrast any two theories of globalization.

Lesson 3: Global Economy

Quiz: Essay
Answer each question in exactly 140 words:

(1) Why does the Philippines import rice from other countries even though rice can be produced in
our country?
(2) Do you believe in “buying Filipino” even if you have to pay a higher price? Why?
1 The Philippines failed to adopt and improve in terms of technology (modernize) and lack of clear
policy to develop this sector. Until now, irrigation covers only a shade above half of the rice farmlands.
Fertilizers prices continue to be prohibitive again due to lack or limited availability of local technology
to produce it in large scale. Too sum it up, it costs more to produce it locally then to import it especially
in large volumes. It also doesn’t help that the country gets an average of 20 typhoons a year that has big
impact in agriculture.
The farm to market roads are still not fully available in all areas. The cartels that control the prices of
rice continue to affect the economy of rice business as farmers are forced to sell at a lower price
affecting their cash flow significantly.
2. Consumers under the new trade order are not only given wider choice, but more liberalized access
to products in the global market, as well. This has resulted in the importation of cheaper but lower
quality standard products, making it a threat to consumers and the local industry. Locally made
products that roll out of Philippine factories are made by Filipino workers, earning for them money to
buy food and other basic needs. Thus, buying locally made goods indirectly benefits the farmers,
tricycle drivers, among others, as well.
But in terms of affordability and availability there’s a tendency that I go to the other side. I buy
goods and products made from my own country if I can afford even if it costs highly. That’s why I’m
in between because we have freedom to choose and we must use it wisely.
Lesson 4: Market Integration

Activity: Film Review
Directions: Watch Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott’s “The Corporation” and let’s discover the
facts behind it! Fill in the following chart to find out.
What do you see in this film? "The Corporation" is not a film my dinner
companion would enjoy. It begins with the
unsettling information that, under the law, a
corporation is not a thing but a person. The U.S.
Supreme Court so ruled, in a decision based,
bizarrely, on the 14th Amendment to the
Constitution. That was the one that guaranteed
former slaves equal rights. The court ruling
meant corporations were given the rights of
individuals in our society.
What do you think is happening in this film? The movie assembles a laundry list of corporate
sins: Bovine Growth Hormone, Agent Orange,
marketing research on how to inspire children to
nag their parents to buy products. It is in the
interest of corporations to sell products, and
therefore in their interest to have those products
certified as safe, desirable and good for us. No
one who knows anything about the assembly-line
production of chickens would eat a non-organic
chicken. Cows, which are vegetarians, have been
fed processed animal protein, leading to the
charming possibility that they can pass along
mad cow disease. Farm-raised salmon contains
mercury. And so on.
What materials do you think the artist used to make A bar code serves as a symbol to a protester at
this film? the Summit of the Americas, held in Quebec in
2001, in the impassioned documentary "The
Corporation."
Does this film remind you of anything? The “personality” of the corporation that emerges
is self interested (it serves its shareholders, not
the public), deceitful (it suppresses data showing
that its products could cause harm), amoral,
willing to break the law to get its way, unable to
feel guilt, and yet able to mimic caring and
altruism
What questions do you have about this film? If there is one thing more sacred than the Right to
Life, is it the corporation's Right to Patent,
Market and Exploit Life?
If the corporation is a legal person, what kind of

personality does it have?
Pretend you can enter inside this film? What do you  The CEOs of clothing companies seem
see? What do you hear? What do you smell? What utterly oblivious to the exploitation of
do you taste? their factory workers.
 the public fighting back against
corporations, such as Indian farmers
battling against the patenting of basmati
rice
Which part of this film do you like? Why? About the exploitation of workers in poor
countries with weak, nonexistent or corrupt,
labor laws, as well as of the benefits that the
public denouncement of corporate activities has
on the attitude of corporations. It is shown the
reality of how corporation works that people
works at either by choice or not.
If you could change one thing about this film, what The film, which opens at Film Forum today, half-
would you change? mockingly offers a psychiatric diagnosis based
on a list of abuses that arise from the relentless
pursuit of profit.
How does this film make you feel? Can you say The film is a bit chaotic but has strong grip to its
why? given scenarios.
If you would describe this film to a friend, what kind of The Corporation spends too much time outlining
words would you use? the problems and too little time looking at
solutions.

Quiz: Essay
Answer the question in exactly 140 words:

(1) How can a small local business enterprise compete against a global corporation?
1. Smaller entrants that use disruptive strategies begin by successfully targeting overlooked
segments like gaining a foothold by delivering more-suitable functionality—frequently at a
lower price. Incumbents, chasing higher profitability in more-demanding segments, tend not to
respond vigorously. Good enough Products: Incumbents try to provide their most profitable and
demanding customers with ever-improving products and services, and they pay less attention to
less-demanding customers. A disrupter can focus on providing those low-end customers with a
“good enough” product. Disrupters can create a market where none existed. They find a way to
turn non-consumers into consumers.
As a new entrant, after gaining a foothold, you can inch up market, delivering what
incumbents’ mainstream customers require while preserving the advantages that drove your
early success.
When mainstream customers start adopting your offerings in volume, disruption has occurred,
and you have pierced the wall.
