Activity 2: What do writers think about Globalization?

Mid-term Examination
In this activity, look for and read two (2) newspaper opinion
editorials (op-eds) or articles written by newspaper columnists
which discussed globalization. You may use local or international
op-eds or newspaper articles. Write a 50-word summary for each
op-ed. Identify whether they subscribe to a particular definition
discussed in the reading material for Topic 1.

1. THE NEW GLOBALIZATION

This op-ed news article highlights a key theme in which

globalization enters a new decade in the country to equipped and
prepared for the challenges of a rapidly transforming world under
a new and different phase of globalization that is now
transpiring on our economy especially this time of pandemic.

Whether globalization is strengthened in a different form through

this plague or whether it will still prove as the most efficient
system for the world’s economy, the plague has demonstrated
certain unquestionable realities. First, is that
interconnectedness that characterises globalisation has brought
economic crisis to many countries. And The economic
interdependence and multilateral norms or rules that
globalisation emphasised over the past several decades, creates
the global supply chains which contributed to the economic growth
creates a low- and middle-income that many countries experienced
and its facing serious and existential threats.

For instance these new globalizations notes how the global

financial crisis provoked a slowdown in world trade and how it
impacts our economy because of this pandemic, but aside to that
world trade saw a renewed surge, and nations worked toward
further liberalizing trade and to achieve equilibrium, a
coordinated global financial system was established.

2. Women and Globalization: The Impact of Increased Women's

Economic Rights on Globalization

In this article, it is merely stated the fact that Globalization

is generally studied as a process that extensively impacts
nations and peoples across every aspect of society. Empirical and
theoretical research largely focuses on this effect, seeking to
discover the impact of an increasingly globalized world on the
rights and circumstances of historically disadvantaged peoples,
particularly women.

Various explanations have been proposed as to the factors which

induced the women’s rights revolution in many countries around
the world, including the role of globalization. Yet, according to
the theories of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, one might also
expect that an increase in women’s economic rights would
facilitate a heightening of international trade and
globalization. Lastly, the impact of globalization on women and
gender relations continues to be neglected nationally and
internationally. Yet more remains to be done to integrate gender
equality dimensions in their normative, policy and operational
work so as to ensure the continuing leadership of the system in
promoting gender equality, development and peace within the
context of globalization.

In short, greater legal protections for women would have a

tremendously positive impact on global development and
impoverished populations around the world. Policymakers must
extend these legal protections to women to advance their own
global economic interests.
