As I understand globalization, it is like a progressive process by which it explains about the increasing

and improving stability of every nations in terms of the economic growth system particularly the fast
flow of commodities, goods, services and finance , also the social and cultural aspects within people and
most of all the continuing and wide advancements of technology which results and contributes a lot to
every people and countries around the globe and also helps on promoting and maintaining the
interconnections and interdependence between everyone. the best personal example for this is the
technological globalization in which we all know that technology is one of the driving agents of
globalization and through technology my family and I would be able to know the news or events happen
worldwide because there are these what we called global news and entertainment networks that makes
us aware and understand the different happenings worldwide. Not also this but with the help of those
digital technologies and social media, we would be able also to connect with our loved ones abroad and
keep in touch them always.

Base on my present situation and also to my personal experience, I could really say that the most
observable effect or influence of globalization is by means of technology in which as I have mentioned in
the previous item that because of the continuing and wide spread advancement of technology, it really
helps me and even my family to become aware, mindful and become entertained with those global
news and entertainments and not just also about this, but because of technology which is the effect
globalization, my parents wouldn't be able to experience tough times contacting or keeping in touch
with their sisters or brothers and relatives abroad because we already have these different kinds of
digital technologies and also the social media which serves as their medium or means of communicating
each other.

A culturally literate individual is someone who knows how to understand, respect and appreciate the
differences and in-commons between people across culture. Someone who also fluently understands
the norms, values, culture, beliefs, and traditions that were already embedded in that particular group.
An example of it is a person who is visiting a certain place who appreciates and respects those people
living in that particular place who shared common cultures and traditions

Multicultural literacy helps and enables us to understand and appreciate the culture and traditions of
every people and society across the whole wide world. In which it is mainly the biggest advantage
because through this deeper understanding and knowledge, we would be able to strengthen the
relationship, remove the gap and ideology of people towards the differences and boundaries between
one countries to countries and nations among other nations. And because of this, we would be able to
strengthen also the interconnections of every people around the globe and helps to promote and
support globalization.

I consider myself as a socially literate person because I know how to understand, interact properly and
adapt consciously towards the people on my environment. I know how to handle and go with the flow,
act positively towards them without bringing my own problems if I am with other people and I also
know how to behave and treat them equally as a person. One of my personal example of it was that
particular moment when I am having a discussion or reporting in one of my subjects or courses this
college way back in my first year days. So, that very moment, I have been experiencing an emotional
breakdown in which in our family we were experiencing a very tough problem because my sister got a
very serious illness that time, so I was really worried for my upcoming tomorrow's performance and I've
always been thinking if I can do my powerpoint presentation or not or I can discuss well during my
presentation for tomorrow. So, when the morning came and I only just have 15 minutes before the said
time for my reporting, what I did is that, I listen to music and calm myself outside while staring on the
sky and breathe deeply and to my shock, during my discussion, I performed well though nervousness it
getting into me but still I made myself go with the flow and tell all my explanation in front of the class
very well. And that is the reason why I consider myself as a socially literate person because whatever
issues or problems I have within my own, I did't even bring it when I am in some situations like this but
instead, I help myself become diverted with positivity.

I think the biggest and most challenging to develop socially about children is their self-reliance or self-
confidence because I myself also experience it and I think we all have been through this kind of social
development. For me it is quiet challenging because it is not really easy for us to help or convince that
particular child to become confident about his or herself and being able to go out of his comfort zone.
Maybe because that child has a social problem or anxiety or maybe it is not just really the perfect time
for her or him to go out of his or her shell. And, I also do believe that we all have perfect timings for
everything and all of us have great moment for us to bloom like a flower and that time would really
come.

I think it's a yes. I am raised in a socially healthy environment especially those moments when I started
to grow and our home became my first school until I have reached my grade school years and now, I
really considered myself being raised in a socially healthy environment because since then, I've been
surrounded by people with positive attitudes, positive mindsets and positive outlook in life that is why I
have been influenced and adapting it up until now. Also, there is always one great reminder from my
parents that I always considered very important and that is to treat people with good manners, and that
whatever approach they will give back on me, I still be rational, professional and respectful towards
them so that I would also earn the same thing on them

In these times of social distancing, first thing that I would do to foster my social health and social skills is
to gain myself more positivity and good vibes so that I could share it to people even through the use of
social media as my means of communicating them because for me it would really be helpful somehow in
some possible ways because I can give and share happiness and positiveness on them even though we
are not personally communicating each other. Second is that, I will find friends online but of course
those people with good influence on me because it makes me think and realize that maybe in some
instances or ways, those people would help me just like by giving advices and good vibes since I love
having good and mutual conversations with people like that and also talking about things that are
common within us and also talking about life. And I think it is also one of my best ways to cope with
social stress and also foster my social well being. And the third one is that, I will do things that I really
love to do the most and do my self-care practices, because after all, we have to be self-oriented and we
must not let ourselves be disregarded since it is a priority. Let's have ourselves a break and treat by
simply doing some funs that would make ourselves enjoy, do skin care routines, light exercises and
celebrating small achievements. By this we can have or give ourselves a relaxation and also a meaningful
reward.
