 TASK 1 Tweeter and War: A Child’s Voice from Aleppo

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS: Applying the knowledge you have obtained from various topics in this module,
accompanied with a background of Alabed’s case on the context of the environment she was situated in,
address the succeeding questions coherently and substantially. In accomplishing the task, USE ONLINE
TEXT.

1. Due to various definitions of globalization, there is the absence of a generally accepted definition to
elucidate its concept. In response, Steger (2005) posited that globalization has been commonly
understood either as a process; a condition; or an ideology. Linking this to Bana Alabed’s case, what
concept of globalization do you think was exhibited? Provide justifications.

- Linking to Bana Alabed’s case, I would relate it to Globalization as a process since the help of
technology social media helped the world to be aware of the life of other people in the world like Bana
Alabed’s, with the help of technology and with the use of a social media platform which Bana Alabed

m
er as
used Twitter, she had reached out to the world what she’s experiencing with the bombings in East
Aleppo, with the simple tweet is reached the world and increases “worldwide social interdependence

co
eH w
and exchange while at the same time fostering in people a growing awareness of deepening connections
between the local and the distant” (Steger, 2005: 13)

o.
rs e
2. In your perception, what globalization paradigm can best explain the power of social media in
ou urc
waking and moving people from around the world to the harsh conditions in Syria? Explicate your
answer.
o

- Transnationality and Transnationalism would be the best paradigm that would express the transmission
aC s

of various processes, practices, and developments that would be able to share the current situation in
vi y re

Syria to the whole world with the use of technology and social media it would broadly discuss different
misunderstandings that would make the world realize what is really happening in Syria which can link
different communities to have a better relationship
ed d

ar stu

what are your assertions as to the situations that could have happened or could have transpired during
that time? Give at least three (3) assertions.

sh

4. From the three assertions you have provided in number three, choose at least one (1) and classify it
according to the intersecting dimensions of integration in globalization which termed by Anthropologist
Arjun Appadurai as “scapes” (ethnoscape; mediascape; technoscape; financescape; and ideoscape).

  TASK 2A: Name the Claim!

DIRECTIONS: Below are various scenarios manifesting the different core claims of Globalization. Examine
each scenario and identify appropriately the manifested claim with corresponding justifications. In
accomplishing the task, USE ONLINE TEXT.

1. Country “X”, a third-world country started to attract foreign investors by reducing high tariff rates that
discourage potential investors outside the country.

- Globalization is about the liberalization and global integration of markets; it benefits other countries
which invest in other countries those countries let foreign investors which helps both sides of economy
therefore Globalization benefits everyone in the long run.

2. Country “M”, a third world country, took a necessary step to transform its economy by adopting a

m
er as
certain policy which demands financial austerity (i.e. spending cuts, increased tax rate). The

co
implementation of the said policy in the first few months did not gain support from the citizens as the

eH w
promised “development” was not felt. However, after five years, the said country was able to
dramatically change its economy and the citizens began to reap from the economic policy they initially

o.
perceived to be ineffective.
rs e
ou urc
- . Globalization benefits everyone in the long run. Even the ones who disagrees benefits

3. Country “XX” has been an economic tiger for decades. While many underdeveloped countries
o

continue to seek an alliance with said country, various left-wing groups within such underdeveloped
aC s

countries remain dissatisfied with their economy. This consequently led the latter to instigate a massive
vi y re

attack against Country “XX” branding it as an abusive state which must be checked.

- Globalization requires a global war on terror. Every country should be educated not to resort to war and
not blame the country which has better economy than theirs

  TASK 2B: Perceive the Misconceived…

DIRECTIONS: You have learned various misconceptions about globalization in this module. Select at least
two (2) misconceptions and create scenarios exhibiting them. Subsequently, explain the repercussions
brought about by your selected misconceptions. In accomplishing the task, USE ONLINE TEXT.

- Globalization as Liberalization; to give an instance Country “A” will open it’s boarders to Country “M”
which country “A” is an Economic Tiger whereas if there are no borders, restrictions it will create a
borderless economy which Country A’s economy will shrink.

- Globalization as Universalization and Westernization; If westernization is real it would affect local

cultures of different countries and soon the whole world will become as one. It will destroy cultures and
traditions of different countries.

  SYNTHESIS

In this module, you have learned that Globalization is a multifaceted phenomenon as it involves
varied definitions, concepts, and paradigms positing about its nature. Out of your major takeaways from
this module, create your own definition of “GLOBALIZATION” and identify the paradigm that could best
explain your concept. USE ONLINE TEXT to accomplish the synthesis section.

- Globalization for me is an action to connect all nations in cooperating to become something

better in which each may benefit from each other in terms of trading different ideas where they
can operate to have international trades and agreements which transmitting different ideas,
values, and meaning all over the world. I would use Global Culture Paradigm to best explain my
concept for the reason I can see that in every culture there are something inherited from other
cultures which makes an impressive growth in that cultures economy
