and culture. Globalization is primarily an economic
process of interaction and integration that is associated
with social and cultural aspects. However, disputes and

B. CRITICAL THINKING
1. Why is politics important?
= Politics is very important because you should know
what is happening around you. In what's going on
around you, too, it is vital to have a say. Many lives will
be affected by political decisions made by people.
Politics is essential because it affects the significance of
government.
2. Who are the powerful in the society? Why?
= the powerful in the society are: the executive branch,
because they was headed by the President who
functions as both the head of state and the head of
government. Second, the legislative branch, because
they can be reelected but they are no longer eligible to
run for a fourth consecutive term. The senators are
elected to a term of six years. They can be reelected but
they are no longer eligible to run for a third consecutive
term. And lastly, The judiciary branch of the
government, because they was headed by the Supreme
Court, which has a Chief Justice as its head and 14
Associate Justices, all appointed by the president on the
recommendation of the Judicial and Bar Council. 
3. How do ideologies bring about social change?
= Ideologies may motivate hundreds or thousands into
lasting social actions and they are strong concepts. To
do so, components of the ideology need to be more
appealing than equivalent parts of the existing system;
the appeal may not necessarily be realistic or well-
thought out. Social change is usually beneficial for the
better; we need to take care not to look at "compound
fracture" answers. The ideologically motivated
revolutionary sorts are those who are sure they are
absolutely correct with their beliefs. They therefore
believe that they have achieved moral supremacy and
 the right to do whatever it takes to make their cause
actual.
4. How does globalization affect nation-states?
= Globalization affect nation-states by affecting its
economic growth. Globalization plays a big role in one's
economy. Globalization accepts no 'state' notion. The
success of globalization, without any authority, rests on
destroying or reducing all governments to an
organization or a management structure for
fundamental services.
