LEARNING MODULE IN TRENDS, NETWORKS, AND CRITICAL THINKING IN THE 21ST CENTURY
(MODULE 5 WEEK 5 QUARTER 1)
What I Need to Know
Did you know that in the early and late 1980’s, one most popular means of reaching out to loved ones from
abroad to their families in the Philippines was through “voice tapes?” You might not be aware of it though, but it takes
about a month or months for a taped recorded voice message to be played by their families using cassette tape players.
Well, that was prior to our era of today when almost anything can be accessed in real time despite global distance. Now,
that gave birth to the present concept of globalization. Generally, globalization was born out of the inter-linkages of
nation – states which has in varied ways influenced the life of people worldwide.
We might not be able to enumerate the effects of globalization in our daily lives but in this module, it will help
you deepen your understanding about globalization. Let us now study the meaning, nature and various activities in
one’s daily life that show some concrete effects of globalization.

What is it
GLOBALIZATION
As cited in the Revisitadestatica (2012), the term globalization refers to the emergence of an international network,
belonging to an economic and social system. One of the earliest uses of the term "globalization", as known, was in 1930 - in a
publication entitled “Towards New Education” to designate an overview of the human experience in education.

 Since the invention of the concept, globalization has inspired numerous definitions and has had a history going back in
time to the great commercial and imperialist movements throughout Asia and the Indian Ocean since the fifteenth century.
Roland Robertson, a professor of sociology at the University of Aberden, was the first person who defined globalization
as "the understanding of the world and the increased perception of the world as a whole."
Martin Albrow and Elizabeth King, sociologists, define globalization as "all those processes by which the peoples of
the world are incorporated into a single world society.
It can be linked to the local, the national and the regional. On the one hand, a connection is made between social and
economic relationships and networks, organized on a local or national, on the other hand, it connects social and economic
relationships and networks formed on wider scale the regional and global interactions.
It is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations. A
process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the
environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being on
societies around the world. For many developing nations, globalization has led to an improvement in standard of living through
improved roads and transportation, improved health care, and improved education due to the global expansion of corporations.
However, globalization has had a negative effect on individuals who live in developed nations. Some of the factors that cause
globalization are migration and labor.

Migration is a movement to another place, often of a large group of people.

Labor is defined as work, especially hard physical work.
People are more willing to move between different countries today in search for work. Remittances now play a large
role in transfers from developed countries to developing countries.

TYPES OF GLOBALIZATION
Economic Globalization is the increasing economic integration and interdependence of national, regional, and local
economies across the world through an intensification of cross boarder movement of goods, services, technologies and capital.
Examples:
• Trans-national trades are companies that extend beyond the borders of one country example of these are Unilever and
McDonalds
• World Trade Organization is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations.
The WTO has 164 members and 24 observer governments.
• Foreign Direct Investment is an investment in the form of a controlling ownership in a business in one country by an
entity based in another country.
It is thus distinguished from a foreign portfolio investment by a notion of direct control. In 2019, China and South
Korea followed Singapore as the largest investors in the Philippines

Social Globalization is a social transformation or process leading to the achievement of people-centered development.
Human-centered development concept is offered as an alternative strategy to bring about a more equity development outcome.
Examples:
• UN General Assembly
• Partnership of International Development Programs
• Social Integration, Gender Equity and access to Social Services
• HIV/AIDS Awareness

Political Globalization refers to an increasing trend toward multilateralism in an emerging transnational state apparatus
and the emergence of national and international non-governmental organizations that act as watchdogs over governments. The
government has four distinct roles in addressing sustainability concerns. These roles are as follows:
1. Policy development
2. Regulation
3. Facilitation
4. Internal sustainability management

Financial Globalization is a collective concept that refers to increasing global linkages created through cross-border
financial flows. Financial integration refers to an individual country's linkages to international capital markets.
Technological Globalization is accelerated in large part by technological transmission, the spread of technology across
borders. Although the Philippines is not the world's least technologically advanced country, it is far from leading. It ranks 83rd
out of 138 countries in terms of technological readiness, according tothe Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
Ecological Globalization occurs when ecosystems are constantly exchanging materials through the movement of air in
the atmosphere, the flow of water in rivers and the migration of animals across the landscape. The world is also becoming highly
interconnected through the movement of people and the transport of goods locally to globally (EurekAlert.com).
Geographical Globalization is defined as the set of processes (economic, social, cultural, technological, and
institutional that contributes to the relationship between societies and individuals around the world. It is a progressive process by
which exchanges and flows between different parts of the world are intensified.

 Let us now identify some positive and negative effects of Globalization.

Interconnections of People and Nations

Globalization leads to interconnectedness of people and nations, where people refer to a group of people with
commonality, such as religion, culture and language who lives in a specific area, while nation refers to a larger group of people
organized in a specific place, which embodied an independent government of its country where they can decide on their own.
Try to imagine how can we connect to our loved ones especially in this time of pandemic without technologies? Cell
phones connect people all over the world like never before. There are a multitude of platforms through which people can
communicate too, including Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Snapchat.
Considering the new normal education, how can we enroll in our online educational programs in school from anywhere
in the Philippines without the different platforms and access new information on virtual topics?
Collaboration means to work together with others to achieve a common goal. Unconditionally sharing everything and
helping each other while mutually working together in cohesive “collective” in unusual roles embracing talents of each person to
synergize or invent something new in a way that:
a. benefits all the groups,
b. serves the whole team’s goal, and
c. may result to creative innovation.
Cooperation is the process of working together to the same end. It is an active help from a person, organization etc.
such as an orderly sharing of space and resources. Cooperation means conditionally sharing information and resources while
functioning together within an independent “connective” in typical roles with workloads accepted as unequal to change
something in a way that:
a. benefits some individuals in a group,
b. meets their personal needs, and
c. may result in disrupted innovation.
