succeeding activities aim to develop your knowledge and understanding of the lesson.
1). Activity 2: Content Notes (13 mins)
Anybody here who knows someone who is selling anything and earns money from mark ups? Why do you
think sellers never stop selling? Why (SRP) suggested retail price or price ceiling for certain commodity in
times of calamity is imposed by the government? Can you just sell anything in the market? All of these things
can be answered in our lesson today. Our topic is about the Emergence of Economic systems. Ready? Let’s
start.
What is an economic system?
An economic system, or economic order, is a system of production, resource allocation and distribution of
goods and services within a society or a given geographic area. It includes the combination of the various
institutions, agencies, entities, decision-making processes and patterns of consumption that comprise the
economic structure of a given community.

An economic system is a way of organizing the distribution and exchange of a country’s goods,
resources, and services. From an economics perspective, an economic system regulates various economic
issues including the factors of production, the supply of capital and labor and all other physical resources.
Basic economic questions

As such, an economic system is a type of social system. The mode of production is a related concept. All
economic systems have basic questions to ask: what to produce, how to produce and in what quantities and
who receives the output of production. Four basic questions that a society needs to answer.
1. What to produce, in other words, which essential products and services and which enjoyable but
optional products and services should an economy produce to ensure the subsistence of a
population and the happiness of that population.
2. How to produce goods and services, and how much of these goods to produce. Produce too much
and there is a waste, produce too little and the cost of production rises.
3. Whom to produce? There’s also the question of who is allocated the production: those who can
afford it most, or those who need it most?
4. How economic systems must cope with change. Even when the factors of production and the
distribution of output has been settled, economic systems eventually undergo change. The way an
economic system is governed also determines how it copes with change. Economic change can
result in some economic participants being worse off, and an economy should help participants
equalize inequalities over time.
Economic systems can be very government driven and highly regulated or could be more dependent on
private operators and lightly regulated. Many agencies, government entities and institutions and a range of
regulations are involved in an economic system. Overall, economic systems are complex and need
continuous intervention to ensure smooth functioning.
What are the 4 main types of economic systems?

There are four primary types of economic systems in the world: traditional, command, market and mixed.
Each economy has its strengths and weaknesses, its sub-economies and tendencies, and, of course, a
troubled history.
The Traditional Economic System

The most basic of all the economic types and in practice since ancient times, the traditional economic
system involves very little division of labor (in other words, individuals specializing in producing specific
goods) and very little in the way of economic governance.
Characteristics of a Traditional Economy

1. Traditional economies are often based on one or a few of agriculture, hunting, fishing, and gathering.
2. Barter and trade is often used in place of money.
3. There is rarely a surplus produced. ...
4. Often, people in a traditional economy live in families or tribes.
Advantages of a Traditional Economy

1. Traditional economies produce no industrial pollution, and keep their living environment clean.

2. Traditional economies only produce and take what they need,

3. So there is no waste or inefficiencies involved in producing the goods required to survive as a
community.
Disadvantages of Traditional Economy

1. It isolates the people within that economy.
2. Large outside economies can overwhelm a traditional economy. ...
3. It offers very few choices, they can only have whatever they produce in the area.
4. There may be a lower overall quality of life.
5. It creates specific health risks, like malnutrition, diseases.
6. Unpredictability creates survival uncertainties.
The Command Economic System

A more advanced economic system compared to the traditional economic system, the command economic
system involves planning from a centralized point, either a local government or indeed the national
government, as under communist rule.
Nonetheless, some people would argue that the command economy has advantages in that the government
can better control supply and demand than the market can. The idea is that a command economy can lead
to lower prices for the public while also ensuring that there is an ongoing, plentiful supply of jobs for the
population.
Command Economy Characteristics
1. Government is in control of the pricing of goods and services by central economic planning.
2. The government owns all the factors and means of production.
3. The government makes all decisions for finances in the country, may even assign people the jobs.
4. Social equality is the essential feature of a command economy, no one is rich or poor.
Advantages: Low levels of inequality and unemployment, and the common good replacing profit as the
primary incentive of production.
Disadvantages: include lack of competition and lack of efficiency.
The Market Economic System

A market economy is a system where the laws of supply and demand direct the production of goods and
services. (1). Supply includes natural resources, capital, and labor. (2) Demand includes purchases by
consumers, businesses, and the government. Businesses sell their wares at the highest price consumers will
pay
Market forces control the economy.

1. Consumers deciding whether to buy a good at a certain price, to wait before buying it or to never buy
is a market force. They want lower prices of commodities.
2. Businesses pricing products to create maximum profit, taking into account consumer demand, is
another market force. They produce more if consumers buy more.
Advantages of a Market Economy

1. Competition leads to efficiency because businesses that have fewer costs are more competitive and
make more money.

2. Innovation is encouraged because it provides a competitive edge and increases the chance for
wealth
Disadvantages of a free Market Economy
1. Factors of Production is not employed if it is not profitable.

2. Market system may not produce certain goods and services.
3. Free market may encourage harmful goods.
4. Production may lead to negative externalities.
5. Free market economy may increase the gap between the rich and the poor.
6. Unemployment and Inequality. ...
The Mixed Economic System
Traditional economic systems are incapable of dealing with the advanced requirements of a developed
society, but there are arguments for and against both the market and command economies. This is why the
mixed economic system emerged, which is indeed a mix between the command economy and the market
economy.
Mixed economy
Mixed economy is an economic system combining private and public enterprises. A mixed economic system
is a system that combines aspects of both market and command. A mixed economic system protects private
property and allows a level of economic freedom in the use of capital, but also allows for governments to
interfere in economic activities in order to achieve social aims
Characteristics of mixed economy:

1. Co-existence of the Private and Public Sectors- minor industries for the people and major industries
belong to the state such as Expressways, LRT/MRT and Dams, National Power Corporation, etc.
2. Existence of Joint Sectors like Public and private, both private companies
3. Regulation of Private Sector such as price control and declared illegal products
4. Planned Economy – the businessmen decides what to produce, how much
5. Private Property – individuals can have own properties as long as he can have the means to buy
6. Provision of Social Security – benefits and insurances returns upon retirement
7. Motive of Business Concerns – profit maximization, market share, survival in market
8. Reduction of Inequalities of Income and Wealth – all are given the chances to participate in wealth
accumulation.
Advantage: A mixed economy permits private participation in production, which in return allows healthy
competition that can result in profit. It also contributes to public ownership in manufacturing, which can
address social welfare needs
Disadvantage of mixed economies: is that they tend to lean more toward government control and less
toward individual freedoms. Sometimes, government regulation requirements may cost a company so much
that it puts it out of business. In addition, unsuccessful regulations may paralyze features of production.
Which is the best economic system?

The way an economic system function has a huge effect on the daily lives of the citizens of a country. For
these citizens to live in an environment that supports both personal sustenance and personal growth is

important, and there are many arguments for and against all of the economic systems.
Perhaps the best argument is for an economic system that provides enough incentive for innovation and
growth, but which also takes into account the needs and desires of all economic actors, rather than just
those responsible for growth and innovation.
Inevitably it is a balancing act, with no absolute implementation of an economic system serving the needs of
society well. Exactly where this balance lies, however, is up to citizens and this is why there is a fair variation
in economic systems in place around the world, and perhaps why the world’s economy effectively operates a
mixed economic system.

FAQs
Question 1. If China invaded the Philippines in the future, will they implement/utilize their economic
system in the country?
Answer: I don’t want to think this yet, but, hopefully, not. Socialist market economy (SME) is the economic
system and model of economic development employed in the People's Republic of China. The system is
based on the predominance of public ownership and state-owned enterprises within a market economy. In
China, the government dictates price of goods in the market. They have a central planning, wherein the
government is responsible for the production of goods and its distribution.
Question 2. What kind of economic system the Philippines have?

Answer: Based on my readings, “the Philippines, still has a mixed economic system which includes a variety
of private freedom, combined with centralized economic planning and government regulation. There are
businesses here that control a large portion of our resources (for example Aboitiz, Ayala-Zobel, Tans, Sy
family), these are very rich families that contributed a lot in our economy. Others are owned by the
goveRnment like: LRT/MRT, PHILPOST, etc. The economic system of the Philippines is now heading to
capitalism in which capital goods are owned by private individuals or businesses. The production of goods and
services is based on supply and demand in the general market.

B. MAIN LESSON
I think you are now ready to start with our lesson today. Now, let’s move to the next set of activities. The

Anyone here who lives in a mansion? Or living in style and always dining out? Why do we need to turn off
the lights when not in use? Why some people are so conscious of their energy consumptions/expenditures?
Did you waste your food often? Do you have a vegetable garden in your backyard? How long do you take a
bath and how much gallons of water you wasted? Did you put your garbage in bins or you just throw it
anywhere? Did you know that the Earth we live in is breaking before our eyes? Why? It is because, people
were careless and do everything to pollute the environment. Here we go…Our topic for today is about
Sustainable world: Sustainable Development. Are you ready? Let’s start now,
Sustainable world is the outcome of the different development strategies and implementation of program that
will keep the world in existence over a long period of time.
Major factors, such as human population size, biosphere robustness, resource stock, food supply, and
environmental quality must remain in balance, on a global scale. This state of balance must last long enough
so that it will not be merely a blip on the curve of unsustainable growth. Even though we might not really attain
that balance, we must move in that direction if humanity and the ecosystem are to survive.
Sustainability is living in a way to minimize humans’ negative impact on the earth and the animals and plants
we share it with. Making sustainable choices is a means to preserve the world and tackle climate change for
future generations to come.
Because the Earth is a closed system, a sustainable world is not compatible with extreme extravagance and
expenditures of natural resources. Activities that promote polluting the land, water and air in environment.
Sustainable development, in the dictionary, is economic development that is conducted without depletion of
natural resources. However, it applies to and can be incorporated into everything we do. It’s application spans
from growing food, sourcing product materials, operating a business, to building societal infrastructure and
how we live individually and/or as a society.
What is sustainable development according to some experts?
1. Carey Kennedy, Landscape Architect, organic gardener/farmer (1996-present) September 14, 2019
“Sustainable world is one where the inputs and outputs balance. Right now we generate millions of tons of
waste that pollutes our environment. We need ways where all outputs are recycled back into the system,
becoming beneficial. It’s a world where toxic outputs can be dealt with in a way where they aren’t harmful to
anything or anyone.”
2. Shashikant Nishant Sharma, Expert of Urban and Regional Planning. September 30, 2018
“Sustainable development means using the natural resource for developmental processes and also conserving
it for the future generation. It has two objectives:
(1) Resource planning should be done for the judicious use of resource.
(2) Harm to the environment should be least.”

3. (UN Brundtland Commission).
“Sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Example: Environmental sustainability is the rates of renewable resource harvest, pollution creation, and non-
renewable resource depletion that can be continued indefinitely. We’re consuming more natural resources
than nature itself can reproduce, some of which are non-renewable. We are also causing irreparable damage
to our environment due to our high level of consumption.
Facts to think about:
 On average, each person produces about 4.3 pounds of garbage each day
 Garbage can take up to 100-400 years to decompose especially if you used disposable things.
 300 million tons of plastic is produced globally each year with only about 10% of that being recycled
 16 billion pounds of waste are dumped into oceans each year
 35 billion barrels of oil are burned worldwide each year (2016 statistic)
 Waste can cause land, air and water pollution, produce harmful gases, and can cause respiratory
problems in people around the world, it’s a threat to public health.
 Forest are the lungs of the earth, it gives oxygen to make air breathable but illegal logging is on.
 While the United States makes up 5% of the world's population it uses 25% of the world's resources.
Note that economic development in isolation of social and ecological development has not increased
the quality of life of US citizens in the last 45 years.
Here are some top areas you will want to familiarize yourself with and ponder what you can do to make a
difference.
1. Climate change - contributes to global warming. Summers get so hot and it kills people of heatstroke.
With this, planting trees and vegetable lessen the heat.
2. Energy consumption - curve our energy consumption and find better ways to create energy (solar,
wind, water, etc. ). Air conditioners should be used moderately and wisely.
3. Sustainable sourcing - sourcing local and buy local helps the farmers to plant and grow more
4. Waste production must be kept to minimal, environmental footprint - focus on recycling versus
constant trips to a local landfill. Reduce consumption, Reuse products and recycle things.
Green living Tips -It’s difficult for people to completely change their lifestyle but here are some very easy
“green living” tips you can incorporate into your every day that you won’t notice but the environment will.
1. Reduce energy consumption by turning off lights and electronics when not in use. Install high
efficiency LED Light bulbs. Wash clothes in cold water. Use a drying rack to dry your clothes. Insulate
your home to increase your homes heating and cooling efficiency. Down sized ecerything.
2. Purchase reusable water bottles, Buy a water filter and don’t drink bottled water. This will cut down
dramatically on plastic waste.
3. Save water by taking shorter showers, use faucet aerators, install high efficiency toilets, washing
machines and dishwashers.
4. Make your own cleaning supplies with non-toxic items. Baking soda, vinegar and lemon are among
popular ingredients that can be used to clean countertops to toilet bowls to your washing machine.
5. Buy reused items if possible and refurbish older items such as furniture, clothing and appliances.

6. Eat less meat to and buy locally made products

7. Walk, bike or take public transit to work to reduce your fuel costs and impact on the environment.
8. Donate used items you don’t need to local non-profits.
9. Recycle as much as possible. Local municipalities have recycling programs to support the reuse of
plastic, paper, appliances and more. Contact your local government or go online to learn about the
recycling options in your area.
Ways to Achieve Sustainable Development
Sustainable Development is an increase in quality of life within a community between two points in time, using
the skills of the population and the ecological services from the landmass it manages in a manner that can be
maintained in perpetuity. It is accomplished through a combination of :
1. Technological Development is the creation or enhancement of systems of infrastructure with an
expectation of an increase in the efficiency that people are able to use their time to convert resources
into the means to meet their wants and needs, such that it will increase the quality of life of a
community and,
2. Human Development is the identification and removal of the obstructions within the self, family, or
community that prevent people from being able to meet their needs, and by so doing, increase the
freedoms, choices, and capabilities of the population.
Advantages can be achieved in the long run.
1. It allows the next generation of people to have access to a better quality life for the community.
2. It makes life meaningful and worth living for us. Imagine if we can reduce the amount of greenhouse
gases in air, this will lessen the effect on the ozone layer and the resulting climactic disasters. Maybe
then we will have to face less heat globally.
3. With sustainable development, we can feed a hungry world, we can sustain and save quality aquatic
floral and fauna life.
4. Sustainable development also teaches us to be responsible. Don't throw plastics in the ocean, don't
burn openly, don't throw wastes in drainages, don't waste food. All this means we're taking charge of
our lives. And in the end it is all to our benefit.
5. Sustainable development also helps us cut down cost and reduce waste. You don't buy what you don't
need. You don't order for an amount of food you can't exhaust
Disadvantages are in the very short term - one has to pay for the investment in whatever before the returns
start coming in. It may take years for the investment to have paid itself off in full.
1. The satisfaction of human needs and aspirations in the major objective of development. The essential
needs of vast numbers of people in developing countries for food, clothing, shelter, jobs - are not being
met, and beyond their basic needs these people have legitimate aspirations for an improved quality of
life.
2. A world in which poverty and inequity are endemic will always be prone to ecological and other crises.
Sustainable development requires meeting the basic needs of all and extending to all the opportunity to
satisfy their aspirations for a better life.
3. Living standards that go beyond the basic minimum are sustainable only if consumption standards
everywhere have regard for long-term sustainability. Yet many of us live beyond the world's ecological
means, for instance in our patterns of energy use.

4. Perceived needs are socially and culturally determined, and sustainable development requires the
promotion of values that encourage consumption standards that are within the bounds of the ecological
possible and to which all can reasonably aspire.
5. Meeting essential needs depends in part on achieving full growth potential. High levels of productive
activity and widespread poverty can coexist, and can endanger the environment. Hence sustainable
development requires that societies meet human needs both by increasing productive potential and by
ensuring equitable opportunities for all.
Current Trend for Sustainable living:
Minimalist Lifestyle. Many people today have realized living in a big house is so expensive in terms of
spaces and energy requirements. The solution they found is downsizing everything except for the essentials.
Living with bare minimum is now the trend to prevent mortgages and huge taxes for real properties. Saving
more money for needs and for the future. Aside from the peace of mind that no huge bills are coming every
end of the month, make life more sustainable in the long run. What are 3 reasons people choose to buy a tiny
house? Here are five of the best reasons to buy a tiny house!
1. Get all the charm of a full-sized home In a fraction of the space of a home and garden.
2. You can buy a tiny house for less than the cost of a full house, more savings.
3. You'll save on energy costs because the space is so cute and it does not require so much energy. It is
sometime built off grid or sustained by solar panels.

B. MAIN LESSON
Alright… again, is there anyone here who have lots of food at home and you find it so tiring to eat every time
you feel wanting for food? How do you feel about people who are so obese or so slim? How does it feels
raising your own food and eat something fresh from the vine? Why goat raising is a very good source of food
production without any costs at all? These things have something to do with our topic today, which is Food
Security? Let’s read the text below.
What is meant by global food security?
Food security, as defined by the United Nations' Committee on World Food Security, means that all people,
at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their
food preferences and dietary needs for an active and healthy life.
Household food security exists when all members, at all times, have access to enough food for an active,
healthy life. Individuals who are food secure do not live in hunger or fear of starvation.

Importance of Global Food Security

1. Food insecurity – often rooted in poverty
2. Poverty decreases the ability of countries to develop their agricultural markets and economies.
3. Access to quality, nutritious food is fundamental to human existence
4. Increased global security and stability. Improved health and healthcare.
Why is food security a global issue?

People need to have sufficient incomes and resources in order to obtain food. But with proper nutrition,
sanitation, and hygiene, many diseases-especially those caused by food and waterborne contaminants-are
less likely to occur. Food security is an issue both globally and at home in the United States. The 1996 World
Summit on Food Security declared that "food should not be used as an instrument for political and economic
pressure".
Pillars of food security
Growth of World Food Supply (caloric base) per capita. The WHO states that there are three pillars that
determine food security: food availability, food access, and food use and misuse. The FAO adds a fourth pillar:
the stability of the first three dimensions of food security over time. In 2009, the World Summit on Food
Security stated that the "four pillars of food security are availability, access, utilization, and stability".
1. Food Availability
Food availability relates to the supply of food through production, distribution, and exchange. Enough nutritious
food of sufficient quality needs to be available to people for their consumption. Availability can be affected by:
Production, distribution and exchange
Production: how much and what types of food are available through food that is produced and stored locally.
Crop production is affected by rainfall, land use, management, harvesting etc., not all countries can produce
food like Japan and Singapore.
Goats are an important part of the solution to global food security because they are fairly low-maintenance and
easy to raise and farm.
Distribution: how is food made available (physically moved), in what form, when, and to whom. It also
involves storing, processing, transport, packaging and marketing of foods.
Exchange: how much of food that is available can be obtained through exchange mechanisms such as barter,
trade, purchase, or loans. The exchange of food requires efficient trading systems and market institutions,
which can affect food security. Per capita world food supplies are more than adequate to provide food security
to all and thus food accessibility is a greater barrier to achieving food security.
2. Food Access
Food access refers to the affordability and allocation of food, as well as the preferences of individuals and
households.
Individuals and households must be able to acquire sufficient food to be able to eat a healthy, nutritious diet, or
have access to sufficient resources needed to grow their own food (e.g. land). Food access can be (1.) Direct
access – producing your own food and (2) Economic access – you buy your own food from suppliers. Access
can be affected by:

Affordability: is the ability of individuals, households or communities to afford the price of food or land for
producing food, relative to their incomes. Location can affect access to food and which type of access a family
will rely on. The assets of a household, including income, land, products of labor, inheritances, and gifts can
determine a household's access to food.
The UN Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights noted that the causes of hunger and malnutrition
are often not a scarcity of food but an inability to access available food, usually due to poverty. Poverty can
limit access to food, and can also increase how vulnerable an individual or household is to food price spikes.
Allocation: the economic, social and political mechanisms governing when, where, and how food can be
accessed by consumers and on what terms. For example, food may be unequally allocated according to age
and gender within households.
Preference: social, religious, and cultural norms and values that influence consumer demand for certain types
of food (e.g. religious prohibitions or the desire to follow a specific dietary pattern such as vegetarianism,
weight management sets aside a certain group of foodstuffs).
The USDA adds that access to food must be available in socially acceptable ways, without, for example,
resorting to emergency food supplies, scavenging, stealing, or other coping strategies.
3. Food utilization. People must have access to a sufficient quantity and diversity of foods to meet their
nutritional needs but must also be able to eat and properly metabolize such food. Utilization can be affected
by:
Nutritional value: the nutritional value provided by the foods that are consumed, as measured in calories,
vitamins, protein, and various micronutrients (e.g. iron, iodine, vitamin A). Education about nutrition and food
preparation can affect food utilization and improve this pillar of food security.
Health status: Access to healthcare is another determinant of food utilization, since the health of individuals
controls how the food is metabolized. For example, intestinal parasites can take nutrients from the body and
decrease food utilization. Sanitation can also decrease the occurrence and spread of diseases that can affect
food utilization.
Food safety: Food safety affects food utilization, and can be affected by the preparation, processing, and
cooking of food in the community and household. Nutritional values of the household determine food choice
and access to food free from food spoilage or from toxic contamination introduced during the producing,
processing, packaging, distribution or marketing of food; and from food-borne diseases such as salmonella.
Preparation and consumption: Sanitation and hygiene is very important in food preparation. The resources
(e.g. cooking tools and fuel), knowledge and ability to prepare and consume food in a healthy and hygienic
way.
Food Stability
Food stability refers to the ability to obtain adequate food over time. Food may be available and accessible to
all people at all times. Access, Availability and utilization should be stable over time.
“All people at all times” is integral to the definition of food security and is the key to achieving national or global
food security objectives.

Stability describes the temporal dimension of food and nutrition security, respectively the time frame over
which food and nutrition security is being considered. Stability is given when the supply on household level
remains constant during the year and in the long-term. Food stability is affected by:
Concept of stability can therefore refer to both the availability and access dimensions of food security.
People should not risk losing access to food as a consequence of sudden shocks ( e.g. economic or climatic
crisis) or cyclical events such as seasonal food insecurity.
Buffer stock - A buffer stock is a system or scheme which buys and stores stocks at times of good harvests to
prevent prices falling below a target range (or price level), and releases stocks during bad harvests to prevent
prices rising above a target range (or price level). A buffer stock scheme is an attempt to use commodity
storage for the purposes of stabilizing prices in an entire economy or an individual market. Specifically,
commodities are bought when a surplus exists in the economy, stored, and are then sold from these stores
when economic shortages in the economy occur.
Public distribution system - is a government-sponsored chain of shops entrusted with the work of
distributing basic food and non-food commodities to the needy sections of the society at very cheap prices.
Advantages are: (1) It has helped in stabilizing food prices and making food available to consumers at
affordable prices. (2) It has helped in avoiding hunger and famine by supplying food from surplus regions of
the country to deficient regions are the two important components of food security system in a state.
How can food security be assessed?

The state of food security varies over a range of scales, ranging from the individual to global. Even where food
security is present at a particular individual or household level, it may not be so on a regional level.
Conversely, while a nation or region may be generally considered to be food secure, certain (groups of)
individuals may still suffer from food insecurity.
Food Insecurity - Food insecurity, on the other hand, is defined by the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) as a situation of "limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or
limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways".
Types of food insecurity can also be distinguished by their frequency or duration:
1. Chronic food insecurity. A long-term and persistent condition of food insecurity. A population suffers from
chronic food insecurity when it is unable to meet minimum food consumption requirements for extended
periods of time (approximately six months of the year or longer). Chronic (or permanent) food insecurity is
defined as the long-term, persistent lack of adequate food. In this case, households are constantly at risk of
being unable to acquire food to meet the needs of all members
2. Transitory food insecurity. A short-term and temporary condition of food insecurity. A population suffers
from transitory food insecurity when there is a sudden drop in the ability to produce or access sufficient food
for a healthy nutritional status (e.g. after a period of drought or as a result of conflict).
3. Seasonal food insecurity. A condition of food insecurity that reoccurs predictably, following the cyclical
pattern of seasons.

Measuring food (in)security

No single tool can account for all dimensions of food security. However one useful method for measuring food
insecurity on an individual level is the FAO’s Food Insecurity Experience Scale, which is based around the
following 8 questions. During the last 12 months, was there a time when, because of lack of money or other
resources:
1. You were worried you would not have enough food to eat?
2. You were unable to eat healthy and nutritious food?
3. You ate only a few kinds of foods?
4. You had to skip a meal?
5. You ate less than you thought you should?
6. Your household ran out of food?
7. You were hungry but did not eat?
8. You went without eating for a whole day?
These questions compose a scale that covers a range of severity of food insecurity from mild to severe
Figure 3: A scale to measure food insecurity based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale.
Adapted from FAO, n.d.
Effects of food insecurity
1. Famine and hunger are both rooted in food insecurity. Chronic food insecurity translates into a high degree
of vulnerability to famine and hunger; ensuring food security presupposes elimination of that vulnerability.
2. Stunting and chronic nutritional deficiencies among children with symptoms of low calorie and low protein
intake results to decreasing body size (stunted growth). This process starts in utero if the mother is
malnourished and continues through approximately the third year of life. It leads to higher infant and child
mortality, but at rates far lower than during famines. Once stunting has occurred, improved nutritional
intake after the age of about two years is unable to reverse the damage.
3. Premature failure of vital organs during adulthood. For example, a 50-year-old individual might die of heart
failure because his/her heart suffered structural defects during early development; Stunted individuals
suffer a higher rate of disease and illness than those who have not undergone stunting;
4. Severe malnutrition in early childhood often leads to defects in cognitive development. It therefore creates
disparity among children who did not experience severe malnutrition and those who experience it.
5. Depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders - A recent comprehensive systematic review showed that over 50
studies have shown that food insecurity is strongly associated with a higher risk of depression, anxiety, and
sleep disorders. For depression and anxiety, food-insecure individuals have almost a threefold risk
increase compared to food-secure individuals.

FAQs
Question 1. Why food security is important for a country
Answer: Food security is very important for a country, because combatting hunger is the major concern of
the government, not to mention poverty and malnutrition. These are the concerns and subjects of sustainable
development in agriculture, fisheries and forestry. If a country has a food security, this means that there is
always food on the table for every family/individuals, it must be sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets
the dietary needs for an active and healthy life of every individuals.
Question 2. In the Philippines, do we have food security?
Answer: Based on the record, as mentioned in a research conducted, “The Global Food Security Index
(GFSI) showed the Philippines fell short of the global average of food supply for 2018. The 2018 report
released said the country placed 70th among 113 countries assessed, with a score of 51.5 out of 100. ... A
score of 100 points means there is ideal food security in the country.”
(https://www.ifpri.org/publication/philippine-agricultural-and-food-policies) Actually, we experienced the
shortage of rice and the government resorted to importing thousands of tons of rice from other Asian countries.
That is for rice alone, and we do have shortage also in some basic commodities. The country could not
produce these basic goods for lack of raw materials.

B. MAIN LESSON
I think you are now ready to start with our lesson for today. Now, let’s move to the next set of activities.
The succeeding activities aim to develop your knowledge and understanding of the lesson.
Well, is there anyone here who knows a person who has a dual citizenship? He/She lived in both
countries where he born and where he/she acquired another citizenship. Did you know that you can be a
global citizen without having to leave your country? Why nations of the world are having bilateral relation and
trade agreements? This is the benefit of both countries, our OFW cannot work in countries that we do not have
economic, political bilateral or agreement so that our OFW can be protected by the state. Our topic for today is
very interesting, Global Community: Geopolitics and Global citizenship. Let’s start.
Global community- (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) the people or nations of the world, considered as
being closely connected by modern telecommunications and as being economically, socially, and politically
interdependent. Its components are global economy and culture, global citizens and geopolitics, etc.

What is geopolitics?
1. Geopolitics is the study of how geography and economics have an influence on politics and on the
relations between nations of the world, a synonym for international political relations.
2. It is a study of the influence of such factors as geography, economics, and demography on the
politics and especially the foreign policy of a state.
3. A combination of political and geographic factors relating to something (such as a state or particular
resources) such as the geopolitics of oil and geopolitics of renewable energy.
Geopolitics takes in account of geographical features in how a person moves in the world. There are
examples of geographical structures, mountains, oceans, rivers lakes, and how these geographical features
affect the migration of people. An example is a country landlocked with no natural buffers.
Geopolitics (from Greek γῆ gê "earth, land" and πολιτική politikḗ "politics") is the study of the effects of
Earth's geography (human and physical) on politics and international relations. While geopolitics usually
refers to countries and relations between them, it may also focus on two other kinds of states: de facto
independent states with limited international recognition and relations between sub-national geopolitical
entities, such as the federated states that make up a federation, confederation or a quasi-federal system.
Why geopolitics is important?

Geopolitics can help explain the structure of security problems. Thus, geopolitics can be an instrument of
political warfare. Furthermore, geopolitical ideas can be a convenient vehicle for justification of political
decisions taken on other grounds. The intended effect is to give coherence to certain political aims.
At the level of international relations, geopolitics is a method of studying foreign policy to understand, explain
and predict international political behavior through geographical variables. These include area studies,
climate, topography, demography, natural resources, and applied science of the region being evaluated.
Geopolitics focuses on political power linked to geographic space. In particular, territorial waters and land
territory in correlation with diplomatic history.
What does global citizenship mean?

A global citizen is someone who is aware of and understands the wider world - and their place in it. They
take an active role in their community, and work with others to make our planet more equal, fair and
sustainable. ... Build their own understanding of world events.
What are the qualities of a global citizen?

1. Global citizens try to understand other people and have empathy for them.
2. Global citizens act fairly in their choices, their decisions, and their words.
3. Global citizens believe that they are just as important as everyone else.
4. Global citizens believe that all people are equal.
What are the advantages of being a global citizen?

Being a Global Citizen in advanced countries means that your family has the freedom and outstanding
advantages of the best education, health-care, social security, liberty while enjoying clean and safe living
environment.

What is global citizenship and why is it important?

It is essential to be a global citizen in order to develop cultural awareness and empathy, to preserve the
planet that all humans share, and to better prepare yourself to thrive in the increasingly global community.
Global citizenship is the idea that one's identity transcends geography or political borders and that
responsibilities or rights are derived from membership in a broader class: "humanity". This does not mean
that such a person denounces or waives their nationality or other, more local identities, but that such
identities are given "second place" to their membership in a global community. Extended, the idea leads to
questions about the state of global society in the age of globalization.
In general usage, the term may have much the same meaning as "world citizen" or cosmopolitan, but it also
has additional, specialized meanings in differing contexts. Various organizations, such as the World Service
Authority, have advocated global citizenship.
For Oxfam, global citizenship is all about encouraging young people to develop the knowledge, skills and
values they need to engage with the world. And it's about the belief that we can all make a difference.
Education for global citizenship is not an additional subject - it's a framework for learning, reaching beyond
school to the wider community. It can be promoted in class through the existing curriculum or through new
initiatives and activities.
The benefits are felt across the school and beyond. Global citizenship helps young people to:
1. Build their own understanding of world events.

2. Think about their values and what's important to them.
3. Take learning into the real world.
4. Challenge ignorance and intolerance.
5. Get involved in their local, national and global communities.
6. Develop an argument and voice their opinions.
7. See that they have power to act and influence the world around them.
What's more, global citizenship inspires and informs teachers and parents, too. But above all, it shows young
people that they have a voice. The world may be changing fast, but they can make a positive difference -
and help build a fairer, safer and more secure world for everyone.

FAQs
Question 1. What are the examples of geopolitics?
Answer: The examples of geopolitics are: movements of people to other countries or migration of people.
Claim of one country to another countries territory. The geographical structures/features of a country may
affect its people’s desire to have a better life.
Question 2. How Geopolitics of Philippines Scarborough Shoal and Kalayaan Islands were affected by
growing Chinese Navy and their presence at strategic place in South China Sea?
Answer: Based on the news, and other write ups about this issue between China and the Philippines, since
China's economic and technological growth has made it a global power with geopolitical impact across
Philippines and other neighboring countries. China was able to build infrastructure along Kalayaan Island, and
Filipino fishermen were not allowed to catch fish in their own territory. It causes fear and threatened the
Filipinos residing in those areas, prohibiting them to do activities to earn for a living. The Chinese claim for the
Philippine territory would make Filipinos leave the place and migrate to other place in the country.

next activity.
B. MAIN LESSON
Good morning/afternoon class, welcome to GEN 005 Contemporary World. Anyone here who knows a person
who has a big family? What country has the biggest population in the world? This will be answered today by
reading our text. What are the problems associated with very big populations? How did a certain population
grow that much? What are the factors affecting population growth? We will learn also, how these things affect
the economy and how the government addressed problems pertaining to population mobility. Today we will be
discussing Global Population and mobility. Are you ready?

Global Population
In demographics, the world population is the total number of humans currently living, and was estimated to
have reached 7.8 billion people as of March 2020. It took over 200,000 years of human history for the world's
population to reach 1 billion, and only 200 years more to reach 7 billion.
Here we see that the top five most populous countries are:
(1) China (1.42 billion) (2) India (1.37 billion) (3) United States (329 million)
(4) Indonesia (269 million) (5) Brazil (212 million)
For several centuries, China has been the world’s most populous country. But not for long: it’s expected that
India will overtake China within the next decade. However, the global population is still increasing and is
projected to reach about 10 billion in 2050 and more than 11 billion in 2100.
What do you mean by mobility?

Mobility is the ability to move freely. Geographic mobility is the measure of how populations and goods move
over time. Geographic mobility is also a statistic that measures migration within a population. Mobility is
affected by immigration and emigration. Population mobility has implications ranging from administrative
changes in government and impacts on local economic growth to housing markets and demand for regional
services.
What is global population and mobility?

Geographic mobility is the measure of how populations and goods move over time. Geographic mobility,
population mobility, or more simply mobility is also a statistic that measures migration within a population. ...
These moves can be as large scale as international migrations or as small as regional commuting
arrangements.
What is global population growth?

Population growth is the increase in the number of individuals in a population. Global human population
growth amounts to around 83 million annually, or 1.1% per year.
What are the 4 factors that affect population growth?

What we might talk about as population size is actually population density, the number of individuals per unit
area (or unit volume). Population growth is based on four fundamental factors: birth rate, death rate,
immigration, and emigration.
Birth rate- means the number of live births per thousand of population per year. High birth rate will increase
the population while very low or negative birthrate decrease population size.
Death rate- means the ratio of deaths to the population of a particular area or during a particular period of
time, usually calculated as the number of deaths per one thousand people per year. High or low death rate
will decrease the population size.
Immigration- means the action of coming to live permanently in a foreign country. Immigration is the
international movement of people to a destination country of which they are not natives or where they do not
possess citizenship in order to settle as permanent residents or naturalized citizens. It will increase the
population size of the place.

Emigration- means the act of leaving one's own country to settle permanently in another; or moving abroad
with the intent to settle elsewhere. It will decrease the population size.
Conversely, immigration describes the movement of people into one country from another. Hence one might
emigrate from one's native country to immigrate to another country.
Population growth is determined by

1. Fertility rates – the ability to produce young
2. Fatality rates – number of death in given period
3. Carrying capacity - is the number of individuals that the available resources of an environment can
successfully support
4. Limiting resource - is a resource that organisms must have in order to survive and that is available
only in limited quantity in their environment. Therefore, a limiting resource functions to limit population
growth. Food and water are common limiting resources for animals and work and housing are limiting
resources for humans.
Factors influencing population growth
1. Economic development. Countries who are in the early stages of economic development tend to
have higher rates of population growth. In agriculturally based societies, children are seen as
potential income earners. From an early age, they can help with household tasks and collecting the
harvest.
2. Education. In developed countries, education is usually compulsory until the age of 16. As education
becomes compulsory, children are no longer economic Education. In developed countries, education
is usually compulsory until the age of 16. As education becomes compulsory, children are no longer
economic assets – but economic costs.
3. Quality of children. Gary Becker produced a paper in 1973 with H.Gregg Lewis which stated that
parents choose the number of children based on a marginal cost and marginal benefit analysis. In
developed countries with high rates of return from education, parents have an incentive to have a
lower number of children and spend more on their education – to give their children not just standard
education but a relatively better education than others.
4. Welfare payments/State pensions. A generous state pension scheme means couples don’t need to
have children to provide an effective retirement support when they are old. Family sizes in developing
countries are higher because children are viewed as ‘insurance’ to look after them in old age.
5. Social and cultural factors. India and China (before one family policy) had strong social attachments
to having large families. In the developed world, smaller families are the norm.
6. Availability of family planning. Increased availability of contraception can enable women to limit
family size closer to the desired level.
7. Female labor market participation. In developing economies, female education and social mobility
are often lower. In societies where women gain a better education, there is a greater desire to put
work over starting a family.

8. Death rates –Often death rates are reduced before a slowdown in birth rates, causing a boom in the
population size at a certain point in a country’s economic development. Death rates fell and life
expectancy increase.
9. Immigration levels. Some countries biggest drivers of population growth come from net migration.
Countries like Japan with very strict immigration laws have seen a stagnation in the population.
10. Historical factors/war. In the post-war period, western countries saw a ‘boom’ in population, as
couples reunited at the end of the Second World War began having families.

FAQs
Question 1. How population mobility affects the number of infected cases of (Covid 19)?
 Answer: Based on the article, population mobility is a factor on the increase in the number of infected
cases of Covid 19. A person infected of the virus who will move from one place to another will most
likely spread the virus to other people. This is the reason why government with people infected by the
virus resorted to implement strategies like community quarantine or lockdown of places/areas affected
by the virus, to stop the virus from spreading. The article I read mentioned: “The mass population
migration during the Spring Festival in 2020 has motivated the transmission of COVID-19. Specific
lockdown interventions, such as travel restrictions and social distancing, are mainly used to reduce
population mobility and can help mitigate the COVID-19 epidemic, so the results support the opinion
that population mobility is closely related to the transmission of COVID-19.”
(https://ghrp.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s41256-020-00151-6)
Question 2. What is the benefit of population mobility to the economy of a country?

 Answer: 1. “A population mobility allows a region to shed workers when jobs are scarce and gives
those workers the opportunity seek employment elsewhere where opportunities might be better.”
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_mobility) This means that population mobility can help the
economy increase, like for example: OFW working abroad and paying their taxes back to their country;
people moving out to other provinces or cities looking for greener pastures to look for jobs; and other
income generating activities. Population mobility helps increase the consumption of goods and services
also. They somehow help the country improve its economy through the taxes they are paying as well as
the manufacturers pay taxes also.

1. Immigration and Emigration - Immigration is “the act of immigrating, or the act of moving to another
country.” Emigration is “an act or instance of emigrating.
2. Death rate and birth rate –It measures the degree to which a population is growing.
Since birth and death rates are measured as the number of births (or deaths) occurring per 1,000
population, the difference is divided by 10 to convert this rate into a percentage
3. Carrying capacity and limited resources - Carrying capacity is a species' average population size in a

media culture?
next activity.
B. MAIN LESSON
Good morning/afternoon class, again, welcome to GEN 005 Contemporary World! Is there anyone here who
knows a person who always broadcast his/her daily life activities on the internet? How do we know what’s
happening around the world? What are the most popular social media platforms or websites are you using?
Our topic for today is very exciting, it is about Global Media Culture. We will tackle the factors that change the
world of media as well as the new social media platforms being widely used globally. Good and informative
news should reach the people wanting legitimate information from media. Are you ready? Let’s begin.
Global Media Culture

Global Media Culture is the mass communication on a global level, allowing people across the world to share
and access the same information. It is indeed that technologies made people's lives easier all over the globe,
explores the relationship between the media, culture and globalization.

How Important is Global Media Culture?

Technology allows for quick communication, transport, and mass marketing, greatly contributing to a
globalized marketplace. The media have an important impact on cultural globalization in two mutually
interdependent ways: Firstly, the media provide an extensive transnational transmission of cultural products
and, secondly, they contribute to the formation of communicative networks and social structures.
Old and New Global Media

New media are forms of media that are computational and rely on computers for redistribution. Some
examples of new media are computer animations, computer games, human-computer interfaces, interactive
computer installations, websites, and virtual worlds. New media are often contrasted to "old media", such as
television, radio, and print media, although scholars in communication and media studies have criticized
inflexible distinctions based on oldness and novelty. New media does not include analog broadcast television
programs, feature films, magazines, or books – unless they contain technologies that enable digital generative
or interactive processes. Ex. Wikipedia, it combines Internet accessible digital text, images and video with
web-links, creative participation of contributors, interactive feedback of users and formation of a participant
community of editors and donors for the benefit of non-community readers.
Live streaming/Streaming and Mainstreaming
An online streamer, also known as a live streamer, internet streamer, or streamer, is a person who
broadcasts himself online through a live stream or pre-recorded video. The scope of online streamers has
grown to include different genres ranging from playing video games, tutorials, or even solo chats.
Live streaming transmit or receive live video and audio coverage of (an event) over the Internet. It is the
broadcasting of live video to an audience over the internet. Streaming is the use of online library where you
can receive or watch movies or TV shows, documentaries, like Netflix, IWant, YouTube videos with unlimited
music and shows.
Mainstream media is a term and abbreviation used to refer collectively to the various large mass news media
that influence many people, and both reflect and shape prevailing currents of thought. Majority of these
mainstream pro- globalization channels are broadcast in English – the language of the US, globalization’s
most powerful player at this point.
Mainstream Media Channel: CNN, Fox News, BBC, TV5Monde, Deutsche Well and the like, along their local
subsidiaries and branches are at the forefront of covertly promoting the dominant discourse on globalization of
News.
While mainstream mass media, on the whole, "represent government and corporate interests", alternative
media tend to be "non-commercial projects that advocate the interests of those excluded from the
mainstream", for example, the poor, political and ethnic minorities, labor groups, and LGBT identities. Some
examples of alternative computing are hacking, open source software or systems, and file sharing.
Mobilization media relate to communication practices that mobilization or organization social movements,
identity, or cultural projects through the use of new media tools and platforms such as Facebook or YouTube.
Manifestations of Digital Divide

It means that (usually) in many Third World countries a number of citizens are still insulated from or at least not
very much influenced by the global media. Not everyone is affected by global media culture due to the
following reasons:

1. Lack of high-speed internet access

2. High cost of digital gadgets
3. Lack of electric power in a number of isolated regions
4. Existence of extreme poverty
Social media refers to the means of interactions among people in which they create, share, and/or exchange
information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. The Office of Communications and Marketing
manages the main Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube and Vimeo accounts.
Social Media and Traditional Media
1. Social media differ from paper-based media (e.g., magazines and newspapers) and traditional
electronic media such as TV broadcasting, Radio broadcasting in many ways, including quality, reach,
frequency, interactivity, usability, immediacy, and performance.
2. Social media outlets operate in a dialogic transmission system (many sources to many receivers). This
is in contrast to traditional media which operates under a mono-logic transmission model (one source
to many receivers), such as a newspaper which is delivered to many subscribers, or a radio station
which broadcasts the same programs to an entire city.
3. Some of the most popular social media websites, with over 100 million registered users, include
Facebook (and its associated Facebook Messenger), TikTok, WeChat, Instagram, QZone, Weibo,
Twitter, Tumblr, Baidu Tieba, LinkedIn and VK.
4. Other popular platforms that are sometimes referred to as social media services (differing on
interpretation) include YouTube, QQ, Quora, Telegram, WhatsApp, LINE, Snapchat, Pinterest, Viber,
Reddit, Discord and more.
6 Ways Social Media is Changing the World
Around the world, billions of us use social media every day, and that number just keeps growing.
We use it for every part of our lives – in our personal relationships, for entertainment, at work and in our
studies. To put it into some context, every minute we collectively send more than 30 million messages on
Facebook and almost 350,000 tweets.
1. Across industries, social media is going from a “nice to have” to an essential component of any
business strategy and communication. It started in the newsroom, in just seven years, newsrooms have
been completely disrupted by social media.
2. Social media platforms may be the banks of the future. - Imagine being able to pay your rent or make an
investment through your favorite social network. Social media is transforming banking relationships in very
significant ways, from improving customer service to allowing users to send money to others via online
platforms. Banks will also have to implement sophisticated social media policies.”
3. Social media is shaking up healthcare and public health - The health industry is already using social
media to change how it works, whether through public health campaigns or virtual doctor’s visits on Skype. It’s
also helped groups of people, such as patients suffering from the same condition, stay in touch.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the usage of social media by the world's general population,
celebrities, world leaders, and professionals. Social networking services have been used to spread
information, and to find humor and distraction from the pandemic via Internet memes. Since many
people are asked to remain home, they have turned to social media to maintain their relationships and
to access entertainment to pass the time.
4. Social media is changing how we govern and are governed - Civic participation and engagement has
been transformed with social media: Social media allows citizens to be the source of ideas, plans and
initiatives in an easier way than ever before.
5. Social media is helping us better respond to disasters - From Facebook’s Safety Check – which allows
users in disaster zones to mark themselves as safe – to the rise of the CrisisMappers Network, we’ve seen
many examples of how social media and digital communications more broadly are helping respond to
disasters. These digital responders use their time and technical skills, as well as their personal networks in an
attempt to help mitigate information overload for formal humanitarian aid in the field.
6. Social media is helping us tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges, from human rights
violations to climate change - But it’s about more than just bringing together activists: it’s also about holding
human rights violators to account. “Content shared on social media has increasing potential to be used as
evidence of wartime atrocities and human rights violations. This capacity for social media to bring together
disparate but like-minded people is also helping fight another enormous challenge: climate change. “Social
media has become an important tool for providing a space and means for the public to participate in
influencing or disallowing environmental decisions historically made by governments and corporations that
affect us all. Have you stopped to think how social media is impacting you, your studies, business or your
community?

FAQs
Question 1. What is the impact of the closure of ABS-CBN to broadcast media?
 Answer: From the literature, “The Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR) said the
forced closure of a major broadcasting network limits the possibilities of civic engagement and
political participation.”(cmfr-phil.org on 7 May 2020.) It happened in the midst of pandemic, Covid
19, where the country needs media as their counterparts, which can mobilize impressive resources
to air timely warnings of imminent public danger, to disseminate crucial information in times of
emergency, saving lives and mitigating the impact of calamity and disaster with appropriate
assistance.
(https://ifex.org/closing-down-abs-cbn-and-its-impact-on-free-speech-in-the-philippines/).
 The closure of a giant media company affects many lives and leads to the loss of too many
productive jobs, and for the media people, which they said: this is a violation of fundamental rights
of free expression and media freedom in Philippine Constitution. Fear among the broadcasting
network, especially the small time company, cannot be denied because of what happened to ABS-
CBN It can be said that the closure is unhealthy for press freedom. This is the cry of many media
practitioners.

Question 2. What is the role of media in delivering news to the public?
 Answer: The role of media is to deliver legitimate and authentic news for the information of the
public. According to Committee of Concerned Journalists, their duty is to provide citizens with
accurate and reliable information they need to function in a free society. “Accuracy is the foundation
upon which everything else is built—context, interpretation, comment, criticism, analysis and
debate,” so reliable news sources are essential if citizens are to have a clear understanding of the
society in which they live. Because the media has a duty to serve the best interests of the citizens in
a democracy, it is important that journalists act independently and that they remain neutral in their
presentation of information. (https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/articles/the-new-media-s-role-in-

B. MAIN LESSON
Good Day! How are you doing? We have a new and very interesting topic today. This is about globalization of
religion or world religion. How many religions are there is in the world and which ones are popular. How many
gods do we need in our life in order for us to survive? Are all religions the same? With all of these questions,
we will study the role of religion in our life and how religion influences politics, economies and cultures of
nations all over the world. Are you ready guys? Let’s begin.
GLOBAL HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF RELIGIONS
Time Period: 600 BCE-1200 CE

All of the world's great religions have spread far and wide from their origins. In the pre-modern era, this
process was one of world history's most important stories, as religions helped establish connections between
many societies. Buddhism emerged in south Asia in the sixth century BCE. Around the same time, Confucius
began his ethical teachings in China and the Greek philosophers imagined a new way of ordering society. By
200 BCE Buddhism had spread to China, and in the next several centuries it spread by maritime routes to
Southeast Asia. As Buddhism was linking Southeast Asia to China, Christianity was beginning to spread in the
Mediterranean. By 600 CE, Christianity had spread through western Europe and Africa, just as Islam was
emerging and beginning to spread across the Arabian Peninsula.

RELIGION - A religion is a set of beliefs and practices that is often focused on one or more deities, or gods.
Generally, religion is a system of beliefs and practices. The word comes from the Latin “religare” which means
to bind together again that which was once bound but has since been torn apart or broken. Religion is a
relationship with God.
Western Beliefs •Judaism •Christianity •Islam Eastern Beliefs The place of origin of the world religions fall into
two geographical areas, the Middle East (Western Faiths) and the Far East.
Monotheistic - believe in one God Examples: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
Eastern Beliefs • Buddhism Hinduism Confucianism Taoism Shintoism

Polytheism - belief in more than one god Example: Hinduism
Similarities of Religion
1. Belief in a power greater than humans, and their Holy Places e.g. Mecca, Jerusalem,
3. Set of religious symbols by which the religion is identified. Like Cross or Moon and Stars.
4. Having a liturgy or observance of Holy Days and having sacred or Holy Writings, list of rules
6. Number of important people, founders, prophets, missionaries, historical people
7. Place of worship •Belief in a Golden Rule.
Religious Differences
1. Their idea of sin or evil, idea of salvation and the idea of priesthood
2. Their idea of a personal God - some believe that their god can personally communicate with each human-
can be contacted, persuaded, involved. Others that their God is unreachable -- people are on their own to find
their own answers. Others that their God is beyond the limits of experience or knowledge
The World’s Major Religions
Types of Major world religions include:

Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, and Sikhism.
1. Buddhism -Founder: Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. Basic Beliefs: People reach enlightenment,
or wisdom, by following the Eightfold Path and understanding the Four Noble Truths: Right
Understanding, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right
Mindfulness and Right Concentration
2. Hinduism -Founder: Unknown Basic Beliefs: Souls continue to be reborn. The cycle of rebirth ends
only when the soul achieves enlightenment, or freedom from earthly desires.
3. Christianity -Founder: Jesus of Nazareth - Basic Beliefs: There is one God, and Jesus is the only
Son of God. Jesus was crucified but was resurrected. Followers reach salvation by following the
teachings of Jesus. - is important to make sure that an intention behind a prayer is good -prayer will
deepen their relationship with God -thank God for the blessings received.
4. Islam -Founder: The Prophet Muhammad Basic Beliefs: There is one God. Followers must follow the
Five Pillars of Islam in order to achieve salvation. These are (1) Declaration of faith to Allah (2)
Obligatory Prayer (3) Compulsory Giving (4) Fasting in the month of Ramadan (5) Pilgrimage to Mecca
5. Judaism -Founder: Abraham Basic Beliefs: There is one God. People serve God by living according
to his teachings. God handed down the Ten Commandments to guide human behavior.
6. Sikhism -Founder: Guru Nanak Basic Beliefs: There is one God. Souls are reborn. The goal is to
achieve union with God, which a person does by acting selflessly, meditating, and helping others.

Globalization and Religion
Religion and globalization have always shared a relation of struggle and conflict. Globalization has
generally been linked with economic and political interdependence which ultimately has brought people closer
and effect of no event is isolated but is felt in far-off places too. It has shifted the cultural buildup of the world
and led to formation of a ‘global culture’- a common minimum which is accepted by all.
Globalization stands for increased and daily contact while religions are becoming more self-conscious for
themselves as being the world religions. The basic tenets of globalization stand against religious parochialism.
By diminishing the barriers between different cultures, globalization lands religion in a quagmire of conflicts
which reinforce social identities as some do not accept the new realities and turn to religion to rediscover their
own identity. Religion provides a sense of belongingness to a group in the world. Religion has stood the
complexities and onslaught of the modern world and is seen to be further intensified under the conditions of
contemporary development.
Although some groups have made religion as a weapon to both integrate and terrorized masses, generally
people have become more tolerant of other religious beliefs and practices and have come to associate all acts
of terror as anti-religious.
In third world nations, where the vulnerable sections find themselves more marginalized by the forces of
globalization, religion takes a prime welfare role and acts as a cultural protector for these sections. Religion
thus plays a social role by helping in social causes and successfully gets greater recognition. Here it presents
a direct challenge to globalization.
Therefore, through such religious values, globalization engenders greater religious tolerance in such areas
as politics, economics, and society.
Leaders of World’s Major Religion at United Nations Grounds

In political areas, globalization has built global political forums that integrate cultural, ethnic, and religious
differences—ideologies that were once perceived as dividing the world—through a large number of
international organizations such as: the United Nations (UN) and the World Health Organization (WHO), as
well regional organizations like the European Union (EU), the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), or
the African Union (AU). When discussing issues such as international peace and security, health issues,
poverty, and environment, these organizations generally share many of the same basic commitments as
religious traditions—mainly peace, human dignity, and human equality, as well as conflict resolution in which
they actively engage in negotiation, mediation, and diplomacy.
Emerging Global Ethics in Workplaces (Influence of Religion/religious values to a workplace)
Moreover, as transnational corporations increasingly become actors in the international system, one could
argue that religious communities have agreed on “the emerging global ethic” which consists of three major
components:
(1) corporations are prohibited from involving in bribes and corruption,
(2) corporations are prohibited from discriminating on the grounds of race, religion, ethnicity, or gender in the
conduct of business, and
(3) corporations are prohibited from activities that pose a significant threat to human life and health.
Simply put, these components are, in themselves, religious values used to regulate the way transitional
corporations increasingly engage in the global market. The bottom line is that the pieces of interreligious

dialogue to manage religious diversity and to avoid violence are there, but the problem may be of
globalization’s intentional and/or unintentional consequence of making religions more conscious of themselves
as “world religions,” as well as the undesirable consequences of disrupting traditional communities, causing
economic marginalization, and bringing individuals mental stress—all reinforcing religious cultural
characteristics and identities. Hence, the relationship between religion and globalization has brought new
possibilities but also furthering challenges.

FAQs
Question 1. How religion influences the society?

 Answer: Religion provides a sense of belongingness to any social or civic groups in the society or
community. Religion thus plays a social role by helping in social causes and successfully gets
greater recognition. It gives moral and spiritual support to the leaders, workers and implementers of
laws, rules and regulations in the society. Religion influences their followers/believers to involve
themselves in some community undertakings to show their cooperation to the government for the
betterment of the society. Religion want to work in unison with the government to help improve the
character, traits, behavior of the people in the community to be of good service to the society.
Question 2. How religion influences every day’s life of an individual?

 Answer: Based on my observation on the religious practices of the Filipinos, in the Philippines, a
person who comes to a very religious family tend to become a good person who are likely to love
their families, shows concerns with other people, helps those who are needy and easily to be
content with whatever things they have in their life. They are always thankful, and grateful for all the
blessings that come their way. They want to establish good relationship with other people. They
are very nice to talk with because they are full of wisdom in their thoughts and minds. This is true in
other countries as well. In a study conducted by A new Pew Research Center, “it showed that the
ways religion influences the daily lives of Americans finds that people who are highly religious are
more engaged with their extended families, more likely to volunteer, more involved in their
communities and generally happier with the way things are going in their lives.”

B. MAIN LESSON
Good day! How are you doing? Once again, welcome to Contemporary World! Anyone here who
knows a person who is very good in e-commerce or digital marketing? She doesn’t own a store, but sells many
goods online. Today, we will be discussing, Drivers of globalization: cost, market, competition and government.
We will be learning here the benefits the drivers of globalization could give to political leaders of the world. This
is very important for you to learn these things for your future reference when you embark in politics in the
future.

Drivers of Globalization – are the pressures or changes that have impelled both businesses and nations to
adopt theses approach. It includes the (1) Technology (2) Political or Government (3) Market (4) Cost and (5)
Competition. For today, we will be discussing two of the drivers: Technology and Political or Government.
1) Technological Drivers - Technology shaped and set the foundation for modern globalization. Innovations
in the transportation technology revolutionized the industry. The most important developments among
these are the commercial jet aircraft and the concept of containerization in the late 1970s and 1980s.
Inventions in the area of microprocessors and telecommunications enabled highly effective computing and
communication at a low-cost level. Finally the rapid growth of the Internet is the latest technological driver
that created global e-business and e-commerce.
Examples: Technology is reshaping trade flows in value chains in 3 ways

a. Reduces transaction cost – by means of internet of things, e-commerce, blockchain, automated document
processing.
b. Change production processes by means of (AI) Artificial Intelligence, automation, 3D-Printing
c. New goods – like electric vehicles, digital goods and renewables, wearable gadgets monitoring vital signs
of a person such as BP, heart rate, time and temperature
Modern transportation is currently experiencing major changes, because of transformative transportation

technologies. Let’s take a look at 6 transportation technologies sure to impact the trucking and transportation
industries forever.
1. Self-Driving Automobiles - Self-driving automobiles are already here.
2. Smart Cars - Many consumers already own smart vehicles. It generally describes a compact, fuel-efficient
vehicle that utilizes new and innovative technology to make life easier for the driver and passengers.
3. Next-Gen GPS Devices - GPS units are nothing new — they’ve been around for decades. The biggest
difference when comparing modern GPS devices to earlier models is the amount of functionality seen in the
newer hardware.
4. Transportation Technologies will Impact Public Transportation for Individuals - Typically reserved for
big cities and crowded residential areas, public transportation often comes with negative connotations. These
vehicles often overstuffed with passengers. ,
5. High-Speed Rail Networks - High-speed rail networks are generating tremendous interest all around the
globe. The Shinkansen bullet train was officially unveiled in Japan in 1964, in the United States they are
currently considering no less than ten high-speed rail networks in the country alone.
The Hyperloop — originally conceived by Elon Musk — is an underground rail that shows speeds up to 240
mph in early tests. Developers hope to achieve three times that speed with the finished version.
6. Gyroscopic Vehicles - Although flying cars might be too complicated for mainstream use any time soon,
hovering vehicles — which are propelled with the assistance of monorails and balanced through the
innovative use of next-gen gyroscopes — could solve public transportation issues across the globe.

Technology Has Changed Farming
Think about how much technology has improved medicine & healthcare, communications, and transportation
in the last 50 years. The field of agriculture has changed just as much.
!
1. Livestock genetics & breeding. Improving livestock breeds is not a new practice.
2. Crop genetics & pest management. Like livestock breeding, the idea of improving plant genetics is
not new. Farmers and scientists have used plant selection and breeding techniques to improve crop yield for
years. Tractors, planters, and combines are much larger and efficient. Livestock barns have automated
feeders. Robotic milking machines milk cows. These technologies and others have enabled farmers to
produce more with less labor.
4. Livestock facilities. Aside from beef cattle, livestock are usually raised inside climate-controlled barns.
Farmers do this to protect them from predators, extreme weather conditions, and diseases spread by animals
and people.
5. Specialization. Farms today are even more specialized. If farmers raise livestock, they usually raise one
type and even focus on one growth-stage.
Political or Government Drivers
Government drivers include such factors as favorable trade policies, a benign regulatory climate, and
common product and technology standards.
Government globalization drivers—such as the presence or absence of favorable trade policies, technical
standards, policies and regulations, and government operated or subsidized competitors or customers—affect
all other elements of a global strategy and are therefore important in shaping the global competitive
environment in an industry. In the past, multinationals almost exclusively relied on governments to negotiate
the rules of global competition. Today, however, this is changing. As the politics and economics of global
competition become more closely intertwined, multinational companies are beginning to pay greater attention
to the so-called nonmarket dimensions of their global strategies aimed at shaping the global competitive
environment to their advantage (see the following section). This broadening of the scope of global strategy
reflects a subtle but real change in the balance of power between national governments and multinational
corporations and is likely to have important consequences for how differences in policies and regulations
affecting global competitiveness will be settled in the years to come.
Political Globalization
Political globalization refers to the organization of different countries into trade blocs. Examples of trade blocs
are the European Union, the WTO and G8. These organizations help to spread ideologies like democracy,
protect human rights, intervene to solve misunderstandings and aid in international agreements. Political
globalization refers to the lessen emphasis on national states and rather multinational institutions such as
European Union, WTO or the G8/G20.
Political globalization refers to an increasing trend toward multilateralism and the emergence of national and
international non-governmental organizations acting as watchdogs over government. One example is the
United Nations (UN) which is an international organization committed to maintaining international peace and

security, developing friendly relations among nations, promoting social progress and better living standards
and human rights.
National governments used to be involved and responsible for the protection of human rights, political activity
increasingly takes place at a global level. Some examples of these non-governmental organizations include
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Hudson Institute. Countries form bilateral ties. And citizens
are exempted from getting visas if they are travelling to certain countries. For example, after Obama became
US president, he soon started visiting countries around the world.

FAQs
Question 1. What are the benefits of technology drivers to the economy?

 Answer: Technology can save the time it takes to produce a good or deliver a service,
contributing to the overall profits of a business. Technology can contribute to the efficiency of a
business's output rate, allowing for larger quantities of products to be moved or of services to be
rendered. IT also has a number of indirect effects, which in turn spur higher productivity, including
enabling larger markets and better organizational decision-making. In addition, IT
boosts economic output by enabling more people to work in the industries.
Question 2. What is the benefit of technology driver to information and communication?
 Answer: It helps in the enhancement of information and communication in the whole world. The
technology drivers can help easily in the transmission of communication from one country to
another country. Businesses can easily transact with one another, because of the technology we
are using right now, communications can easily reach them. During this pandemic, technology
played a great role in reaching out to the people to give them warnings, pieces of advice on how to
follow protocols. It became useful and helpful also during this pandemic-Covid 19 in reaching far
flung areas, giving instructions and directions to people so they can get away with the virus, as well
as in the distribution of food assistance and other essentials. These drivers were useful in the unity,
especially during emergencies and other government activities. These technological drivers help
the world in their battle with this deadly corona virus or Covid 19.

B. MAIN LESSON
Good morning/afternoon class, again, welcome to GEN 005 Contemporary World. Our topic for today is a
continuation of our topic last meeting, which is the Drivers of Globalization. But, this time we will tackle the other
three factors of drivers of globalization which are: Market, Cost, and Competition. Anyone here who knows a
person who is very good in e-commerce or digital marketing? She doesn’t have a concrete store but sell so many
goods online. Do you think that’s a good way to do business now? We will learn also how these technological
drivers affect the business industry and the economy. Let’s start. Are you ready?
Drivers of Globalization – are the pressures or changes that have impelled both businesses and nations
to adopt these approaches. It includes the (1) Technology (2) Political or Government (3) Market (4) Cost
and (5) Competition. This is a continuation of Lesson 18, the Drivers of Globalization, and we will tackle the
other 3 factors/approaches.
3) Market drivers
Market drivers define how customer behavior distribution patterns evolve, including the degree to which
customer needs converge around the world, customers procure on a global basis, worldwide channels of

distribution develop, marketing platforms are transferable, and “lead” countries in which most innovation
takes place can be identified.
As domestic markets become more and more saturated, the opportunities for growth are limited and global
expanding is a way most organizations choose to overcome this situation. Common customer needs and the
opportunity to use global marketing channels and transfer marketing to some extent are also incentives to
choose internationalization. (Ferrier, 2004)
Examples: Common customer needs, Expanding global customers, global market channels, marketing
transfers and global branding
One aspect of globalization is the steady convergence of customer needs. As customers in different parts of
the world increasingly demand similar products and services, opportunities for scale arise through the
marketing of more or less standardized offerings. How common needs, tastes, and preferences will vary
greatly by product and depend on such factors as the importance of cultural variables, disposable incomes,
and the degree of homogeneity of the conditions in which the product is consumed or used. This applies to
consumer as well as industrial products and services.
Examples: Coca-Cola offers similar but not identical products around the world. McDonald’s, while adapting
to local tastes and preferences, has standardized many elements of its operations. Software, oil products,
and accounting services increasingly look alike no matter where they are purchased. The key to exploiting
such opportunities for scale lies in understanding which elements of the product or service can be
standardized without sacrificing responsiveness to local preferences and conditions.
Global customers have emerged as needs continue to converge. Large corporations such as DuPont,
Boeing, or GE demand the same level of quality in the products and services they buy no matter where in
the world they are procured. In many industries, global distribution channels are emerging to satisfy an
increasingly global customer base, further causing a convergence of needs. Finally, as consumption patterns
become more homogeneous, global branding and marketing will become increasingly important to global
success.
What are market drivers in Globalization?
• Higher profits and a stronger position and market access in global markets.
• Reduced technological barriers to movement of goods, services and factors of production.
• Cost considerations – a desire to shift production to countries with lower unit labor costs
What are the main factors driving globalization?
While there are many factors that have contributed to globalization, it is the actions of businesses that have
done most to accelerate the process in recent years. Influential commentator Hamish McRae has stated that
businesses are the “main driver” of globalization. Multinationals (businesses that operate in more than one
country) want to increase sales, profits and shareholder value.

4) Cost drivers
A cost driver is the direct cause of a cost and its effect is on the total cost incurred. For example, if you are
to determine the amount of electricity consumed in a particular period, the number of units consumed
determines the total bill for electricity. In such a scenario, the number of units of electricity consumed is a
cost driver.
Cost Globalization Drivers
The globalization of customer needs and the opportunities for scale and standardization it brings will
fundamentally alter the economics of many industries. Economies of scale and scope, experience effects,
and exploiting differences in factor costs for product development, manufacturing, and sourcing in different
parts of the world will assume a greater importance as determinants of global strategy. At bottom is a simple
fact: a single market will no longer be large enough to support a competitive strategy on a global scale in
many industries.
Global scale and scope economics are already having far-reaching effects. On the one hand, the more the
new economies of scale and scope shape the strategies of incumbents in global industries, the harder it will
be for new entrants to develop an effective competitive threat. Thus, barriers to entry in such industries will
get higher. At the same time, the rivalry within such industries is likely to increase, reflecting the broadening
scope of competition among interdependent national and regional markets and the fact that true
differentiation in such a competitive environment may be harder to achieve.
Cost globalization drivers are the opportunity for global scale or scope economics, experience effects,
sourcing efficiencies reflecting differentials in costs between countries or regions, and technology
advantages—shape the economics of the industry.
5) Competitive drivers
Competitive drivers are defined by the actions of competing firms, such as the extent to which competitors
from different continents enter the fray, globalize their strategies and corporate capabilities, and create
interdependence between geographical markets.
With the global market, global inter-firm competition increases and organizations are forced to “play”
international. Strong interdependences among countries and high two-way trades and FDI actions also
support this driver.
Examples: Role of GATT, WB and WTO in trade liberalization, trade barriers and investment policies,
Standard policy.
Industry characteristics—such as the degree to which total industry sales are made up by export or import
volume, the diversity of competitors in terms of their national origin, the extent to which major players have
globalized their operations and created an interdependence between their competitive strategies in different
parts of the world—also affect the globalization potential of an industry. High levels of trade, competitive
diversity, and interdependence increase the potential for industry globalization. Industry evolution plays a
role, too. As the underlying characteristics of the industry change, competitors will respond to enhance and

preserve their competitive advantage. Sometimes, this causes industry globalization to accelerate. At other
times, as in the case of the worldwide major appliance industry, the globalization process may be reversed.
Government Drive for Businesses
Governments want to encourage domestic businesses to expand overseas (it results in a flow of profits back
into the domestic economy) – so there are lots of help available for businesses looking to expand overseas.
Businesses themselves though are not the only drivers of globalization, consider factors such as:
There are several alternative approaches for a business looking to expand globally – many choose
to follow one or more of the following:
• Establish production sites overseas

• License, technology & other intellectual property
• Joint ventures
• Franchising
• Offshoring / outsourcing
• Selling directly to overseas markets – either with sales agents, distribution agreements or online
The motivations for successful businesses to operate globally are strong, and growing. For example:
• Higher profits and a stronger position and market access in global markets
• Reduced technological barriers to movement of goods, services and factors of production
• Cost considerations – a desire to shift production to countries with lower unit labor costs
• Forward vertical integration (e.g. establishing production platforms in low cost countries where intermediate
products can be made into finished products at lower cost)
• Avoidance of transportation costs and avoidance of tariff and non-tariff barriers
• Extending product life-cycles by producing and marketing products in new countries
in your own words.

FAQs
Question 1. Significance of cost drivers to the prices of goods and services.
Answer: A cost driver triggers a change in the cost of an activity. The concept is most commonly used to
assign overhead costs to the number of produced units. It can also be used in activity-based costing
analysis to determine the causes of overhead, which can be used to minimize overhead costs. Examples
of cost drivers are as follows: direct labor hours worked,number of customer contacts, number of
engineering change orders issued, number of machine hours used,number of product returns from
customers. If these drivers cost would be minimized, the overhead cost, which varies depending on the
number of goods and the expenses to be incurred in producing them, manufacturers can produce more
goods at lower cost. Lower cost of production would mean lower price of goods and services.
Question 2. What is the role of business drivers to the success drivers of competition?
Answer: Business drivers are the key inputs and activities that drive the operational and financial results of
a business. Common examples of business drivers are sales people, number of stores, website traffic, number
and price of products sold, units of production, etc. If these drivers will be organized and managed well, they are
a great help to drivers of competition to be successful also in pushing for a successful global market. The
business drivers are factors to competitive drivers to offer goods at lower price and gained more profits.

B. MAIN LESSON
Is anyone here who knows what is corruption? Why some politicians when campaigning in elections are not so
well- off and rich but at the end of the term of office, they were so wealthy and arrogant? Did you get rich by
working in government office and institutions? Sometimes, we know that politicians are doing some magic just
to keep the funds to themselves, we call it graft and corruption, and that’s one of the topics for today. We will
also be discussing efficiency in office and issues in education system. There is a new way of learning modes
because students are advance in lessons due to the Internet. It was found out by research that you have to learn
by your own because, the best teacher is not Ms. XNY. Your best teacher is Ms./Mr. Experience. We will never
forget the things that we experienced compared to things we just see and heard. Alright, are you ready?
Corruption is a form of dishonesty or criminal offense undertaken by a person or organization entrusted with
a position of authority, to acquire illicit benefit or abuse power for one's private gain. Corruption may include
many activities including bribery and embezzlement, though it may also involve practices that are legal in
many countries.
Political corruption occurs when an office-holder or other governmental employee acts in an official capacity
for personal gain.
Causes of corruption
Due to the definition of corruption, it can include a wide range of examples and types. They can relate to
personal, societal or organizations characteristics. As a result, there are a huge range of causes. These are
important to know, so that criminal activity can be prevented.
Greed for personal gain
One of the most common causes is selfishness to obtain as much personal wealth as possible. This is often
at the expense of other individuals, and even businesses. Individual gains can take the form of money or
power especially when giving bribes.
This is a problem, as it is natural to seek money or power. However, society should teach people only to do
so by legitimate means. Where this fails there are consequences for all.
Lack of personal morals
This simply means people know what good behavior is, but they choose to act badly. Greediness is often
combined with this factor, as it affects people’s moral compass.
Unethical behavior at work may persuade a colleague to follow suit. For example, bribery, a person taking
credit for work they didn’t complete, abusing power to harass someone, or hiring someone who is a close
friend all set bad examples. As a result, this promotes toxic values that employees take in.

Low awareness of the issues
If employers fail to conduct employee ABC training, it is more likely they will commit an offence. This is because
staff members are unaware of the consequences of their actions. All employers have a legal duty to train staff
members.
In addition, if employees cant spot the signs of criminal activity, they cannot report it. Therefore, corrupting
behaviour goes unnoticed, and criminals get away with it. Furthermore, under ABC laws like the Bribery Act
2010, failure to disclose information can be considered a criminal act.
Lack of transparency
If a country or business fosters an environment where corruption is accepted and commonplace, people will
offend more. This often comes in the form of underhand government deals, or threatening press freedoms.
Furthermore, this occurs in an organization’s setting, whereby a lack of compliance can promote bad behavior.
Weak regulations and monitoring
Corruption is a threat to businesses and societies alike. It damages economies and the reputations of
organizations. Corruption means that a person has abused a public office of power, strictly for individual gains.
Corrupting behavior can take the form of bribery, fraud and identity theft.
Consequently, weak monitoring systems make it much harder to catch criminals. So, as we know, criminals
will target the weakest countries and businesses first. For example, if a bank is known for weak transaction
flagging systems, criminals are more likely to use their accounts to transfer illegal money.
If employees or organizations spot any of these, they must be stopped immediately. Corrupt practices should
not be allowed to spread, as the situation can get out of control fast. To prevent an allegation from escalating,
formal grievances can be made to the employer. As a result, this will raise the issue, and formal procedures
must be put in place as a reaction.
What is poverty?
Poverty is not having enough material possessions or income for a person's needs. Poverty may include
social, economic, and political elements. Absolute poverty is the complete lack of the means necessary to
meet basic personal needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter
Causes of Poverty
As of 2015, with one fifth of the population living below the poverty line the desire to reduce poverty was a
priority. The poorest populations work in agriculture and live in areas prone to natural disasters compared to
the wealthier population. There is an inadequate number of available good jobs, and a lack of investment in
education that leads to such a high inequality of income. However, the government has plans focused on
reducing poverty with objectives of improving the lives of the poorest segments of the population.

Why is poverty a problem in the Philippines?

Filipinos are having a hard time surviving in such difficult conditions, and more and more are falling into
extreme poverty. According to the Asian Development Bank, the major causes of poverty include: low
economic growth, a weak agricultural sector, increased population rates and a high volume of inequality
Inefficiency in office means unable to do the job required and not producing results in the best, quickest and
cheapest way. It causes more than just slow progress and wasted salary and time.
Effects of Inefficiency - Inefficiency directly impacts productivity, which is inextricably linked to the all-
important element of employee morale. When offices are inefficient and (1) people feel they are unable to do
good work for reasons that are beyond their control,( 2) it wears down their morale and, thus, their productivity.
(3) This hopelessness and inability to make an impact leads to worse and worse work—creating a dangerous,
downward spiral that’s hard to break out of.
Office Inefficiencies That Slow Productivity and Drain Morale

Various studies and theories have established that employees who are happy with their organization’s
environment—and thus high in morale—are more productive.
Causes of Inefficiencies. If you notice any of the following practices or problems at your office, they could be
what’s causing inefficiencies that hurt productivity and overall morale.
1. Outdated Processes and Tools

If your office is suffering from outdated processes and tools—that may certainly be the cause of inefficiencies
that are hampering efficiency, effectiveness, and are downright annoying to boot.
2. Unnecessary Checks and Balances

Checks and balances are a great precaution when the stakes are very high. However, if you’re having three
different employees take time out of their days to sign off on a vacation request form, that’s probably
unnecessary.
3. Poorly-Managed Meetings
Meetings themselves aren’t the enemy of efficiency—it’s poor management that creates low productivity and
morale.
4. Office Distractions
Noises reverberating through an open office, employees “popping in” to each other’s offices unannounced,
constant emails and notifications from inter-office messaging programs—distractions abound in the modern
office setting.
5. Morale-Damaging Culture
Culture has a large impact on business productivity and morale. An efficient office is extremely difficult to build
when your organization suffers from the hallmarks of poor culture like ineffective or toxic leadership, an
unwillingness to cope with different work styles and schedules, and a lack of mobility or training.
Education System
Ten (10) major challenges currently facing public schools, based on the perspective of many involved in the
world of education today. These are: Classroom Size; Poverty; Family Factors; Technology; Bullying; Student
Attitudes and Behaviors; No Child Left Behind; Parent Involvement; Student Health; Funding.

Issues Regarding the Philippine Educational System

The present Philippine Educational system firstly covers six years of compulsory education (from grades 1 to
6), divided informally into two levels - both composed of three years. The first level is known as the Primary
Level and the second level is known as the Intermediate Level.
However, although the Philippine educational system has extensively been a model for other Southeast Asian
countries, in recent years such a matter has no longer stood true, and such a system has been deteriorated -
such a fact is especially evident and true in the country's more secluded poverty-stricken regions. Nationwide
the Philippines faces several issues when it comes to the educational system.
Quality of Education
First of which, is the quality of education. In the year 2014, the National Achievement Test (NAT) and the
National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE) results show that there had been a decline in the quality of
Philippine education at the elementary and secondary levels. The students' performance in both the 2014 NAT
and NCAE were excessively below the target mean score. Having said this, the poor quality of the Philippine
educational system is manifested in the comparison of completion rates between highly urbanized city of Metro
Manila, which is also happens to be not only the country's capital but the largest metropolitan area in the
Philippines and other places in the country such as Mindanao and Eastern Visayas. Although Manila is able
to boast a primary school completion rate of approximately 100 percent, other areas of the nation, such as
Eastern Visayas and Mindanao, hold primary school completion rate of only 30 percent or even less. This kind
of statistic is no surprise to the education system in the Philippine context, students who hail from Philippine
urban areas have the financial capacity to complete at the very least their primary school education.
Budget for Education
Although it has been mandated by the Philippine Constitution for the government to allocate the highest
proportion of its government to education, the Philippines remains to have one of the lowest budget allocations
to education among ASEAN countries.
Affordability of Education
A big disparity in educational achievements is evident across various social groups. Socioeconomically
disadvantaged students otherwise known as students who are members of high and low-income poverty-
stricken families, have immensely higher drop-out rates in the elementary level. Additionally, most freshmen
students at the tertiary level come from relatively well-off families.
Drop-out Rate (Out-of-school youth)
The Philippines overall has 1.4 million children who are out-of-school, according to UNESCO's data, and is
additionally the only ASEAN country that is included in the top 5 countries with the highest number of out-of-
school youth. In 2012, the Department of Education showed data of a 6.38% drop-out rate in primary school
and a 7.82% drop-out rate in secondary school.

Mismatch
There is a large mismatch between educational training and actual jobs. This stands to be a major issue at
the tertiary level and it is furthermore the cause of the continuation of a substantial amount of educated yet
unemployed or underemployed people.
Brain Drain
Brain Drain is a persistent problem evident in the educational system of the Philippines due to the modern
phenomenon of globalization, with the number of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who worked abroad at
any time during the period April to September 2014 was estimated at 2.3 million. This ongoing mass emigration
subsequently inducts an unparalleled brain drain alongside grave economic implications. Additionally,
Philippine society hitherto is footing the bill for the education of millions who successively spend their more
productive years abroad.
Social Divide
Most modern societies have encountered an equalizing effect on the subject of education. This
aforementioned divide in the social system has made education become part of the institutional mechanism
that creates a division between the poor and the rich.
Lack of Facilities and Teacher Shortage in Public Schools
There are large-scale shortages of facilities across Philippine public schools - these include classrooms,
teachers, desks and chairs, textbooks, and audio-video materials. According to 2003 Department of Education
Undersecretary Juan Miguel Luz, reportedly over 17 million students are enrolled in Philippine public schools.
There are too many students and too little resources. Albeit the claims the government makes on increasing
the allocated budget for education, there is a prevalent difficulty the public school system faces with regard to
shortages. Furthermore, state universities and colleges gradually raise tuition so as to have a means of
purchasing facilities, thus making tertiary education difficult to access or more often than not, inaccessible to
the poor. However, it is worth taking note of what the Aquino administration has done in its five years of
governance with regard to classroom-building - the number of classrooms built from 2005 to the first half of
the year 2010 has tripled. Additionally, the number of classrooms that were put up from the year 2010 to
February 2015 was recorded to be at 86,478, significantly exceeding the 17,305 classrooms that were built
from 2005 to 2010 and adequate enough to counterbalance the 66,800 classroom deficit in the year. 2010.
Education Status During the Covid 19 Pandemic
All Education Department sectors are finding ways to implement academic activities while minimizing the
chances of infection by online learning, blended learning and physically going back to school. Online learning
requires the infrastructures of TV, computers, laptops, tablets and stable wifi connection at home. Not
everyone can afford online learning. Blended learning requires reading modular lessons with minimal teacher-
student interaction. Flexible learning requires a balance of power between institutions and students, and
seeks to find ways in which choice can be provided that is economically viable and appropriately manageable
for institutions and students alike.

Active learning is an approach to instruction that involves actively engaging students with the course material
through discussions, problem solving, case studies, role plays and other methods. Active learning approaches
place a greater degree of responsibility on the learner than passive approaches such as lectures, but instructor
guidance is still crucial in the active learning classroom. Active learning activities may range in length from a
couple of minutes to whole class sessions or may take place over multiple class sessions.
Instructional materials for active learning are prepared in advance with teachers’ guide and student’s activity
sheets, which are given daily at the classroom. Teachers Guide are lesson plans on how this active learning
is applied.

FAQs
Question 1. How corruption impedes the delivery of Personal Protective Equipment to government
hospitals/frontliners during Covid 19 pandemic?
Answer: Based on the news/reports, there was an alleged corruption that happened in the procurement
of Personal protective Equipment (PPEs) and other medical supplies to be used in fighting Covid 19.
They commented that other government officials took advantage of the situation to use/abuse their power
for their own gain or interest. There was a delayed issuance of PPEs to the frontliners. Because of lack
of PPEs to be used by the frontlines in giving medical care/services to the Covid 19 patients, many
frontlines got infected by the virus, wherein numbers of doctors and nurses died. Also, it was reported
that the government bought these PPEs at a higher price, while private sectors donating the same to the
frontlines bought their PPEs at a lower price. That’s why they were able to donate more PPEs to the
frontliners who are working and taking care of Covid 19 patients. Anyway, the government is still
investigating this issue to find out if there is truth to the alleged corruption in this department responsible
for this pandemic.
Question 2. How does Covid 19 affects the opening of classes this school year 20-21?
 Answer: Based on reports, the Department of Education, in the midst of this pandemic is firmed in their
decision to push through with the opening of classes this August despite the opposition of parents calling
for next year opening of classes, instead of this year. Though they adjusted the schedule of the opening
of classes from the original, which is June, they believe that they are ready to implement the new schedule
in August in conformity with the new normal and with safety protocols. The DepEd Secretary believes
that extended interrupted education will disengage students from the learning process, which will result
to the potential cost of reversing gains in learning. What they did, after series of consultations with school
administrators were made, they did work to find ways to implement academic activities while minimizing
the chances of infection by online learning, blended learning and face-to-face learning if the situation will
allow it.

B. MAIN LESSON
I think you are now ready to start with our lesson for today. The succeeding activities aim to develop your
knowledge and understanding of the lesson.
Anyone here who knows a person who is very intelligent and a graduate of a college degree but cannot find work
in an office? Why freelancing become a new way of self-employment? Why so many foreigners are studying in
developing countries like the Philippines? How come terrorists from abroad are affecting our peace and order in
Mindanao? Why there are so many investors in developing countries. Why Filipinos nowadays, need to master
the English language, maybe, because call center’s job abounds? These are questions we will be answering
in our reading of the text and discussion. Our topic for today is the positive and negative effects of globalization.
We will try to learn and understand the positive and negative effects of globalization both in developed and
developing countries. Let’s start.

Positive Effects of Globalization in Developed Countries
Researchers have concluded various positive effects of globalization which some developed countries enjoy
today. It’s hard to encounter each of them, but let’s focus on some essential points.
1. Global Market
Among all effects of globalization, this one is beneficial. It means encouraging nations to specialize and
produce plenty of goods available in their local market. Different countries produce different products and
what is most surprising there is no country which is self-sufficient. Some countries with developed economies
don’t have enough raw materials for their factories, while the rest accumulate costs more than it should.
Worldwide integration has led the way to cheap raw materials. Now states can purchase them and produce
low price products with a good profit.
Developed countries advertise for the low-income community to buy their products with compatible prices.
They also sell goods to developing countries because they are affordable. They are supposed to promote
the economic growth of the country from where they buy their raw materials as they invest their money
overseas by building industries to produce cheap goods. The larger the market, the more the returns. This
concept has extended businesses in developed countries. They have also expanded by acquiring companies
in developing countries, partnering and merging with others to reach out to a big market and produce cheaper
goods due to the availability of materials and labor.
Cross-Cultural Management
Each country has got its own culture. Culture pertains to the way particular people do things as well as their
values and believes. Incorporating all cultures to form a global one is not easy. For instance, gender equality
is not recognized in some legal systems, and they do not allow women to lead or engage in business.
Population in developed and underdeveloped countries have a culture of engaging in activities, which are
profitable, either socially, economically or spiritually. Here becomes a new global culture. Globalization is a
causality of cultural erosion in communities from both developed and developing countries.
2. Competition
Competition is a healthy way of doing business. Without it, companies would not pioneer some innovations
in cross-border trade. It is the main reason why the quality of goods and services improve as well as why the
prices drop. Competition affected industries in some developed countries to source cheap raw materials and
labor to decrease prices. People from the first-world can afford themselves to buy products from domestic
industries and foreign ones. Competition causes increased communication of ideas and innovation as people
try to find a competitive advantage for their business.
3. Job Opportunity
About 90 percent of the first-world population earns for living through employment. Initially, job opportunities
were quite scarce, and everyone who graduated from college applied in a certain government sector, but
most of them ended up working as a casual laborer in industries with a low income. Globalization has brought
this trend to a halt as more job opportunities are now available locally and internationally. By using
technology, one can access employment opportunities, work remotely and even have more than one job.
4. Reducing the Gap between the Rich and the Poor

Globalization has notably declined the gap between rich and poor people. For many centuries there has
been a wide gap between these groups, a gap that seemed to widen every year. Globalization enabled poor

people to have access to job opportunities. A long time ago people who worked in government sectors and
companies got high salaries, but now even overeducated employees earn a little money. As a result, many
employers hire qualified workers and pay them less than they deserve. Due to their expenses of maintaining
companies’ specific image, the highly paid workers live a stressful life while the low-income people seem to
have a stress-free experience.
The number of low-income people working as casual laborers has continued to decrease as most young
people acquire education. These young, educated people perform multitasking jobs to get enough money to
enable themselves and their family to live a decent life. Consequently, a constant difference between the
rich and the poor reduce considerably. Most industries employ only skilled workers due to complicated
systems of operation. Those without skills seek employment in other states. Instead of staying without an
income, most people don’t mind the displacement as long as they are going to earn for a living.
5. Investments
The population of developed countries prefers to invest money in profitable businesses rather than deposit
it in banks. The reason is, they strive to earn for a living remotely because investments assure they will gain
good profits without any efforts. Unfortunately, such an option is available only for those people in developed
countries as usual defaults of economies in third-world states make it insecure. People are afraid to invest
their earnings because they cannot predict whether their national currency will be equivalent to the US dollar
next year. Others spend it by establishing firms and industries in foreign countries where they gain profits.
6. Advanced technology
Advanced technologies are a result of globalization. A constant need for innovations appeared due to the
lack of quick data transfer and public communication. Lots of inventors have tried to serve the needs of
modern society by improving technology. Its advancement has paved the way for positive effects of
globalization in countries that initially did not want to associate with others. Such states select partners for
cooperation depending on religion rather than the economy.
7. Legal Effects
Through globalization, people get to know what’s happening in other countries. Media services cover events
which occur in other countries. As a result, various turmoils could be solved by international mediators. Those
who perform acts against human rights are arrested and sentenced by intergovernmental courts. Equally,
those who practice illegal business aiming to get competitors out of trading are prosecuted. Nevertheless,
lots of states are not satisfied that a particular IGO interferes domestic policy and dictate them how they
should operate within own boundaries. Imposed economic sanctions prosecute governments which refused
to adopt international conventions and follow their laws.
Positive Effects of Globalization Developing Countries
Globalization has numerous positive effects on some developing countries. It’s the reason for the fast growth
and development of these countries as people invest in these states improving their infrastructure,
technology, and total production. Below are some positive effects of worldwide integration on developing
countries.
1. Poverty Eradication
Before globalization, developing countries have had plenty of resources which they didn’t know how to use.
Their population was uneducated as well as there were no roads or means of transport. Nowadays people
understood the significance of education and standards of living as foreigners settled in these countries.

Consequently, locals went to schools established by the settlers and got employment in their companies and
industries. Some of them went abroad for further studies. They were able to raise the living standard of their
families by using new knowledge. Today, due to globalization, companies established by locals of some
developing states are the major competitors of those from developed states. Although the fight against
poverty is not over, there is a great improvement.
2. Availability of Employment
Most developed countries have lots of educated jobless people. Globalization gives them job opportunities
in other countries. Their primary advantage over the residents of the developed countries is the fact that they
offer cheap services. They are also open to learning as they consider themselves lucky to have a new life.
3. Education
Globalization has enabled further studies. Most developed countries have advanced schools and colleges.
They encourage people from overseas to study there. While it is just a business venture like any other,
students from developing countries take it as an advantage to get further education and skills to use in their
careers. The investors from developed countries settle abroad with their families, what’s more, they want to
have good schools for their children. As a result, they donate to local schools, advance the curriculum and
hire qualified teachers. Following this way, most developing countries have very advanced high schools and
universities. There is no need to move to developed states to seek education because it is readily available
in these countries. Enhanced education is a positive impact of globalization in developing countries. The
governments of most developing nations provide free training to encourage parents to school their children.
Education is compulsory in most developing countries due to globalization because, without it, investors and
traders would have a hard time hiring locals.
4. Technology
Globalization has helped to transport technology to developing countries. Some investors and foreigners
who have got a bargain with the people from developing countries needed to communicate with them and
exchange ideas as well as information. The fastest way to do it was through using of modern technology. It
has greatly helped people from developing countries. Most of them can buy and sell goods online at a low
price. They work remotely with companies in developed countries. Interaction with people through social
media, the Internet and other platforms have opened new horizons on how to improve standards of living.
Media coverage has attracted lots of volunteers from developed countries. Consequently, most people can
satisfy their basic needs such as food, clothing or medicines.
5. Foreign Investments
Globalization brought in the need for people from developed states to invest in some developing countries.
Foreign investment is one of the results of globalization that culminates in many developments in these
countries. For instance, some investors want raw materials and goods to be transferred faster to the industry
and the market respectively. The only way to do this is to help each government in the building of efficient
infrastructure. The local people get jobs from these industries and companies established in their country.
Negative Effects of Globalization in Developed Countries

It has had a few adverse effects on developed countries. Some adverse consequences of globalization
include terrorism, job insecurity, currency fluctuation, and price instability.
1. Terrorism
It is a significant problem in most developed countries. Due to worldwide integration, people travel a lot.
Some of them move abroad for studying, business, visiting relatives, work and access hospitals services.

However, not all of them are totally honest. Lots of terrorists came to a foreign country with a worker visa
having a hidden goal to perform a terrorist attack. It’s a problem that has posed fear among citizens who
can’t trust their neighbors. Unfortunately, terrorists recruit young people, residents of the country and make
them believe they are doing the right things. That’s why there are fear, mistrust, and tension in society.
2. Job Insecurity
Before globalization, skilled people got employment in government sectors and companies where they
received high salaries. Job opportunities were waiting for those who completed colleges and earned a
degree. People would resign a job and quickly get another. Due to globalization, there are many people
seeking employment all over the world. Employers take advantage of cheap labor. One can get a dismissal
because of a slight mistake as the employer can find a skilled worker who is ready to be paid less.
3. Price Instability
Price instability is a significant effect of globalization on business. Some people establish industries overseas
where they get cheap raw materials and labor. They can cut production costs and sell their goods at a low
price. Due to competition, some high-quality products differ in prices. No matter how the World Trade
Organization has tried to control price fluctuation, their efforts are not successful. These companies reach
out to consumers using modern technology. Successful businesses are for those who can find a competitive
advantage and especially make high-quality products for a low price.
4. Currency Fluctuation - International trade buys and sells products using the US dollar. The price
of dollar fluctuates day-to-day in developing countries, this results in imbalanced economy and abnormal
prices for goods and services. National currencies are affected the most by Intergovernment Organizations
(IGOs).
Negative Effects of Globalization on Developing Countries
Although the developing countries have had many benefits from globalization, there are a few negative
impacts it has caused in the developing countries.
1. Displacements of Workers
Thanks to globalization, there are employment opportunities all over our huge world. However, most people
have had to leave their families for many years as they work abroad. As a result, couples have divorced,
remarried and left destitute children at the mercy of volunteers and shelters. Some children haven’t been
able to meet their old-aged parents’ needs because the money they earn from their job is not enough.
2. Unemployment
In almost all developing countries over half of the working population relied on casual jobs in industries until
globalization took root. The advancement of technology has reduced such employment and increased global
need for skilled professionals. Majority of people in developing countries don’t have skills, while the available
jobs are poorly paid due to high demand caused by globalization. Most of the people are left unemployed
and unable to meet their basic needs resulting in increased criminal activities such as burglary,
pickpocketing, murder and drug abuse. The rate of unemployment and poverty keeps growing as the gap
between the rich and the poor widens.
3. Increased Lifestyle diseases

Globalization has brought in the consumption of processed foods, planting crops using chemicals to minimize
the duration of growth and increase profit. In order to benefit from business, animals such as the cows are

fed on chemicals that make them produce a lot of milk or increase in weight for those that are sold for the
meat industry. Due to increased ingestion of chemicals from foods, chronic diseases are on the rise. The
mortality rate is high. Furthermore, there is a reduction in the lifespan in the developing countries.
4. Abandonment of Culture
Every community, society, or nation has its values and beliefs, that is to say – own culture. They are essential
because they mold the acceptable behavior of the people in a particular community. The elders or leaders
ensure that the people behave in a morally upright way. However, globalization mixed different cultures.
Then people reconsidered their authentic rules and customs regarding their culture as primitive. Some
nations from developing countries adopt the western culture and abandon their own. The community leaders
can no longer pursue their own domestic policy punishing citizens for crimes them as they did before because
they are regarded as backward and primitive by international society. They adopt the culture which is quite
strange and distant from their nature, due to such policy, people conduct themselves regardless of actual
laws. As a result, there is an increased crime as acts such as rape, divorce, and domestic violence get on
the rise.
5. Terrorism
Not a year ends without incidences of terrorism in the community, something that has affected its welfare
and unity that existed before globalization. According to recent studies, there were nine thousand terroristic
attacks performed worldwide in 2017.
6. High Competition in Corporate World

Due to worldwide integration, one can never succeeded in getting a job in an office instantly, because there
is high competition of skilled and professional workers all over the world competing for a job.

FAQs
Question 1. Why globalization is beneficial to industrialized countries?
 Answer: Based on some reading materials read, globalization implies changes through political, social
and economic reforms by offering incentives very important/necessary for developing countries.
Domestic political, social and economic arrangements determine how a country negotiates and benefits
from globalization. Countries connections and communication abilities are very important, so they can
pursue what they want for their own benefits. Rich countries, knew very well the needs of developing
countries and these were the things they will offer in order for them to get their support, alliance and
confirmation. This resulted to reduction of power of a nation and the industrialized countries were able to
influence their political, social, and economic decisions for their own gain and security. This is the reason
why developed countries enjoyed more benefits from globalization than the developing countries.

Question 2. What is the role being by the three (3) world major organizations in globalization?
 Answer: Based on the articles read, World Bank, IMF and WTO played an important role in promoting
globalization. The World Bank aims to reduce poverty by offering assistance to middle-income and low-
income countries. It accomplishes its goals through technical and financial support available to countries.
 The IMF role is to mitigate the negative effects of globalization on the world economy in two ways: by
ensuring the stability of the international financial system, and by helping individual countries take
advantage of the investment opportunities offered by international capital markets. The IMF oversees
the world's monetary system's stability.
 WTO has a crucial role to play in international trade, economic, political and legal issues related to the
international business because of the globalization. It is an international body whose purpose is to
promote free trade by persuading countries to abolish import tariffs and other barriers. As such, it has
become closely associated with globalisation. It is promoting sound macroeconomic policies as a
precondition for sustained economic growth.
 These major organizations are helping both developed and developing countries for their sustainable
development program to keep abreast and meet the demands of the global market. They are supporting
developing countries to grow economically to enable them compete with the global market. With their
support, integration to global system and trade of the developing countries, can continue to help people
in developing countries uplift their living conditions and let them out of extreme poverty.
