1. Homogeneity and Heterogeneity

2. Epoch and its essential occurrence
3. Cultural Convergence

B. INSIGHTS (What new insights or learning did you gain from the topic?)

1. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that, It will be an
easy to identify. Also, i thought that its just about the changes on our community,
and to what and when did it start. Also, I thought that it just happen when there is
something happen with a result that can shock everyone. Even in the metaphors of
globalization, I did not know what can be the inside of metaphor. I thought that
globalization only a simple term can easily determine by the use of mind. However,
reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now think/ realize that
Globalization has a lot of definition because of the scholars who gave their idea and
what were their understand about globalization. There are also the metaphor which
can help to understand more about the process of globalization. The metaphor of
globalization which pertain to the solidity and liquidity the flows of both. Which I can
say that was a part of the process of globalization. I also notice that it is not just on
the life of every people, on even on the society. We can also connect the
globalization to our business or in the organization because of improvement or
enhancing the capability of a business. The solidity into a liquidity of having a very
consistent information that we can get. That was because of globalization.
2. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that, It will be easy
for me to determine the theories, origin and the history. I thought that it will be easy
for me to understand the other words that is involve on the globalization. However,

 reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now think/ realize that there are a
lot of thing that we need to be remember, especially on their meaning. We can also
see that every history made by the past, there is always a globalization, because of
the changes happened from the past into the future. The group of people, our
cultural, the theories of globalization, and the even the present we have now. They
are the part of the globalization. Because at the first, globalization means it is a
process of interaction and integration among the people not only the people, also
economy and others. On how we colonize before, on how the culture work on the
society before. Everything is involve globalization.
3. Before reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I thought that It can only
discuss what we supposed to remember and what we need to remember. I thought
that it cannot be part of the big organization in our country, business or even the
work we have today. I thought that it will not affect your everyday lifestyle. And the
difference of culture that is affected by globalization and if it is worthy to notice
their information. However, reading the material/ understanding the lesson, I now
think/ realize that It explain briefly the difference between the globalization and
regionalization and why does globalization has a negative impact and also why
regionalization is more agree to meet the same regional by regional. Also that not all
culture from a different country or state can easily adopt the other culture. It can
also cause a bloody clashes because of it cannot be accept the other culture. Or may
be because of the belief of every culture. Sometimes history give something that still
unknown. We have to know the different culture. The different effect of
globalization to the regionalization. And also why do we need to know about them?
That is globalization give as a lot of knowledge and important.
