    SOCIO 101

    ASSIGNMENT 1
    Name: Kristine Paulina B. Benitez Course/Year: BSN 4B Date: 02/28/23
    Direction: Essay. Be responsive to the question. Try to be brief and direct. A yes or no answer
    without explanation will not earn points. 5 points each

    1. Is Globalization is recent phenomenon?


    Whilst it may seem that globalization is a recent phenomena given the immense speed at
    which it has increased over the last fifty years due to significant technological advancements, it
    actually has been for much longer. Such as the Silk Road, which was a time when trade expanded
    quickly between China and Europe via an overland route, so it has been in existence for a long
    time. However, the advancement of globalization has been progressive since then and more so
    advanced in recent years so that must have been why it is still considered a recent phenomenon.

    2. Differentiate “globophobia” from “globophilia”.


    Globophobia is when someone fears or dislikes globalization. Globophilia, on the other
    hand, refers to someone who supports and is in favor of globalization.

    3. Explain why globalization helps accelerate social change.


    The exchange of ideas and cultures made possible by globalization has promoted social
    development and helped create a more accepting and open-minded society. Furthermore, the
    ability to exchange ideas and information across borders has sparked innovation in the fields of
    medicine, technology, and environmental preservation, all of which helps with the acceleration
    of social change.

    4. Explain why developments in technology is one of the causes of globalization.


    Both the acceleration of globalization and the development of newer technologies have
    been significantly accelerated by technology. Technology, as we are all know, simplifies people's
    life, and this has accelerated globalization as well. The world is rapidly entering a digital economy
    thanks to technology, in which every activity—social as well as economic—is impacted by it more
    and more. It contributes to globalization since newer technologies like the internet and mobile
    phones make cross-border transactions and interactions convenient.
