1. For you, what is globalization?

Globalization is described as a set of social and economic structures and

processes resulting from the shifting nature of the products and commodities that make
up the international political country's economic foundation, particularly the rising
structural diversity of those goods and assets.

Likewise, globalization could be defined in terms of a functionally relevant range

of financial occurrences. These include industry reform and expansion, asset state
ownership, state feature withdraw (particularly welfare functions), superior innovative,
cross-national allocation of manufacturing production (foreign direct investment), and
financial market assimilation. In its most basic form, the phrase refers to the global
distribution of sales and manufacturing facilities.

ACTIVITY

1. Cite at least one (1) situation of globalization that reflects fragmentation

and one (1) for integration. Elaborate why you classified it as
fragmentation and integration.

International trade and financial barriers have been lowered, resulting in the
globe becoming a more open location for business and investment. The competitive
world climate has forced producers to look beyond their own borders for expense
alternatives. Modernization and improved technology have helped pave the way for
fragmentation as it becomes easier and faster to buy, distribute, and track goods as
they go from point A to point B. Fragmentation is common in the telecommunications,
automotive, and textile industries.

As a consequence, new market possibilities such as healthcare, transport, and

financial services have emerged. Consumers have far more alternatives and
international service marks as a result of free world trade. Different states pursue
policies as if they were a single unitary entity as part of international integration.
Considering bond yields, share prices, and inflationary pressures across economic
systems can help determine the degree of integration.

In your own opinion, how globalization affects Gender and Development (GAD)
and Health? What dimensions of globalization do you think brought much impact
on it?

Globalization has expanded the spectrum of possible economic options. Trade

openness and the spread of information and communication technologies (ICTs) have
enhanced female empowerment possibilities, and their salaries have risen in some
cases in compared to men's. As the export and ICT-enabled sectors grew, so did the
value of physical ability falling and cognitive talents rising.

Increased global flows of software and services, innovation, and communication

have propelled a huge economic transformation during the last three decades.
Individuals, households, enterprises, and organizations have all been affected by these
changes in the way international and domestic markets and institutions operate. Several
factors linked to a more global society increase the impetus for further gender equality

1. What is metaphor?

Metaphor appears in contemporary philosophical debates in a range of methods. Aside

from its obvious importance in poetics, rhetoric, and aesthetics, it also has applications
in philosophy of mind (e.g., the metaphorical condition of common cognitive ideas),
philosophy of science (e.g., the comparison of metaphors and explanatory models), and
epistemology (as in analogical reasoning), and in cognitive research (as in the theory of
concept-formation).

2. What are the metaphors of Globalization?

Globalization is universally recognized as a basis for idealization. Tangible (data,

currency, and consumers) as well as cognitive (states of mind) outflows are all part of
the international device that is connected. They seem to have a high level of
consciousness, which leads to the formation of concrete bonds and global relationships.
Consequently, corporatists could not possibly have happened literally without
intellectual dispositions that permitted and encouraged them to use language, meaning,
story, interpretation, perception, and creativity, poetry, devotion, and learning.

The notion that globalization is (at least in part) a concept of idealization is indeed
not revolutionary. The mainline of global studies, on either end, has traditionally
analyzed globalization through the perspective of methodological materialism. This
theory underpins most business studies, economics, geography, and political science.

Have a narration of your desires in the future and have it entitled “My Desires in
the Future”. Make this question as your guide in writing your narration: What are
your desires and how will you able to meet those desires through the aid of
globalization?

My Desires in the Future

Globalization is frequently promoted by economists. The advantages of

specialization and commerce inside a country's boundaries are obvious: no one
seriously believes that restricting the flow of goods, labor, and money within a country
will boost national prosperity. Beyond national bounds, globalization expands
specialized opportunities. According to new research, while globalization is helpful in
theory, it necessitates greater care in effect.

We shall achieve our objectives faster and more easily with the aid of
internationalization. We may attain larger things in life with the support of the world wide
web, electronics, and elevated platforms. The easy access to the internet, mobile
phones, and artificial intelligence can help us manage our time and learn more. I want to
be an engineer, and globalization allows me to access more countries and states. The
online would have a lot of useful information. You could study online with just a few
scrolls and clicks.

Answer this question: Is “Unity in Diversity” possible? How?

Unity in Diversity seems to have become a symbol of multiculturalism in Canada.

This expression was originally used in Canada by Quebec Premier Adélard Godbout.
Canada is an outstanding example of unity in diversity. Above everything, racism is
uncommon in Canada. Additionally, Canadians are open and friendly. Immigrants are
welcomed warmly in Canada. In Canada, verbal abuse and discrimination against
foreigners are almost non-existent.

The concept of unity in diversity refers to the coming together of people from
various backgrounds. These inequities can be exacerbated by background, tradition,
ideology, religion, group, status, race, and other reasons. Furthermore, this idea has
been around from the beginning of time. A variety of political and social groups have
adopted it to symbolize unity among varied groups or communities. Individuals from
many cultures, religious beliefs, and political roles living in harmony and tolerance is a
classic illustration of "Unity in Diversity," and this excellent conduct can be found almost
anywhere on Globe. Without a question, the concept has assisted humanity's ethical
and moral evolution.

Consequently, Unity in Diversity is an important aspect of morals and ethics. The

approach is unquestionably critical for human society's future evolution. This design
requires people to believe in it. They must, above all, suppress feelings of racism,
bigotry, and oppression. Society would undoubtedly perish if there is no unity in
diversity.

What are the positive and negative effects of Homogeneity?

Heterogeneity? Give at least two per category.

HOMOGENEITY

POSITIVE

1. When conducting a job or course, everyone can go at their own pace. When
joined by classmates of similar aptitude, gifted children are less likely to conduct
all of the activities while others struggle to keep up or disappear into the
background completely.
2. It aids in the reduction of societal difficulties in numerous areas..

NEGATIVE

1. In the backdrop, rising homogeneity will suffocate inferior racial identity parties w
hile promoting dominant ethnic identity relations.
2. Employees are watched and disciplined if they work too sluggish or do not follow
the rules.

HETEROGENEITY

POSITIVE

1. Rise of knowledge opportunities

2. Broad-Mindedness

NEGATIVE

1. Misinterpretation
2. To be a part of a minority group whatsoever, even if it's a particular gender, race,
or age demographic, can cause sense of loneliness and, as a consequence, a
lack of confidence or social position.

Answer the following:

1. When did globalization started?

The origins of globalization in history are still a matter of debate. While many experts
believe globalization began in the modern era, others believe it has been a long-
standing phenomenon. This subject is closely related to the five different explanations of
globalization's origins.

2. What are the different perspectives about the origins of globalization?

1. HARDWIRED

Our fundamental human drive to enhance our lives makes globalization possible. As a
result, the roots of globalization can be traced back to our African progenitors who left
the continent during the late Ice Age. They arrived to the continents we know today,
some 50, 000 years later, after a long journey.

Using business, faith, government, and warfare, residents are "encouraged" to make
their lives better. Commerce, mission activities, exploits, and conflict are all linked to
four main types of internationalization that have been documented throughout history.

2. CYCLES

Internationalization is considered by some to be a long-term cyclical phenomena,

making its roots difficult to trace. Belief in the presence of further global epochs is
implied by this viewpoint. There's also a chance that this industrialization center will fade
away and resurface.

3. EPOCH

Also termed the “waves” has the difference from the second view (cycles) for it

does not treat epochs as returning. There are six (6) great epochs of globalization.

a. Globalization of Religion (4th – 7th centuries)

b. European colonial conquests (late 15th century)

c. Intra-European Wars (late 18th – early 19th centuries)

d. Heyday of the European Imperialism (mid 19th century – 1918)

e. Post-World War II Period

f. Post-Cold War Period

4. EVENTS

There are some precise measures in explaining the origin of globalization such as:

a. Roman conquest before Christ are its origin

b. Rampage of the armies of Genghis Khan into Eastern Europe in the 13th
century.

c. Voyages and discoveries of Christopher Columbus (America), Vasco de Gama

(Cape of Good Hope), and Ferdinand Magellan (idea that world is round).

d. Technological Advancement in Transportations and Communications

5. CHANGES THAT ARE LARGER AND MORE RECENT

In the latter half of the twentieth century, significant developments occurred. These
three (3) significant events are now regarded by scholars as the origins of modern-day
globalization. The following are the details:

a. The United States' Ascension as a Global Power (Post-World War II). After
WWII, the United States was able to outrun Germany and Japan in terms of
industry thanks to its strong military and economic might. In comparison to the
emerging global dominance, both the Axis and Allied Powers are economically
behind. As a result, the United States made rapid advances in a variety of areas,
including diplomacy, media, film, and many others.
b. Multinational Corporations (MNCs) are on the rise. Before the MNCs, their roots
can be traced back to the 18th and early 19th century in their respective nations
of origin. The United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom all had big
corporations in their homelands that are still known around the world.
Nevertheless, in so far as production and market are involved, they did not stay
there.
 ACTIVITY

Among the aforementioned views on the history of globalization, which one

is appealing or convincing to you? Why?

Globalization, according to hardwired theories, evolved from people's natural

desire to live a better life (Chanda, 2007). The importance of other players in promoting
globalization is also neglected by power analysts. As a result, in my opinion,
globalization began with the need and desire of humans to make their lives easier and
to live in a better environment.

III. Essay. Differentiate Homogeneity from Heterogeneity (6 points).

Numerous cross-cultural scholars have acknowledged in the comment threads of

their publications that the organization they investigated is neither typical or
representative of cultural context. This comment emphasizes the possibility that the
country under investigation lacks a distinct societal culture. There is indeed a cultural
element in these research, which could be owing to the organization's unique culture or
the government's perspectives. As a consequence, the cultural features of many cross-
cultural research could be better captured by examining the impact of firm environment
on worker performance.

In order for cross-cultural comparisons to be appropriate, it is necessary to

examine the homogeneity / heterogeneity of society. Using abstract generalizations
about the culture of society to make decisions about equivalent management can lead
to errors. Attempts to embody American culture, for example by identifying a typical
American company, are futile in the United States. There are diverse social cultures in
the United States, and various organizational cultures are born. The conclusions of
most cross-country studies are not worth capturing the cultural elements, as
heterogeneous economies are usually in contrast to homogeneous societies.

The term "heterogeneity" is widely used in the global community to explain the
quality of diversity, primarily as an alternative to the historical convergence hypothesis
that predicts the increasing similarity of civilizations due to globalization. Multicultural
activities, new businesses and activist organizations have evolved as a result of the
apparent overlap of elements from many countries around the world. Therefore, it refers
to the long-term differences, composition, or mix of civilizations that result from different
cross-regional activities. In contrast to cultural imperialism, "cultural mixing" is
associated with socio-economic heterogeneity.
