When we engage in official transactions like paying taxes, we deal with the Philippine
government. However, we need to step back a little bit to see that the world
―out there‖ is already here. You likely have relatives who are overseas (OFW). They
bringing home part of the world with them. Needless to say that the media and the
internet are your windows to the contemporary world.
Finally, our consumption habits are global. Dined in a McDonald‘s, uses chopsticks in eating,
maybe owned a China mobile phone and eaten in Korean restaurant. We are already
citizens of the world whether we are aware of it or not. Just living your own life, you
automatically think about the contemporary world.
Globalization refers to the process and direction of change over time, globalism refers to a set of
ideologies ranging from the worship of the free-market to global
jihadism, and globality is a ―single socio-political space on a planetary scale.‖ It is a wide
spread belief among powerful people that the global interaction of economic market be
beneficial for everyone (Paul, 2013).
Various perspectives have described how globalization take part in the world wide social
relation.
The world system theory of Emmanuel Wallerstein discussed the regions of globalization; core,
semi-periphery, and the periphery which described the opposing scenario of the world.
He pointed out that some nation-state failed to develop due to asymmetrical trade in global
capitalism making them difficult to compete and become dependent to rich nation–states.
For him globalization represents the triumph of a capitalist world economy. For a tie,
certain countries become the world hegemon. The key structure of the capitalist world-
system is the division of the world into three great regions, or
Another was the network society of Manuel Castells, showing the informational change
made by technological advancement.
The Network Society by Manuel Castell is a society whose social structure is made
up of networks powered by microelectronics-based information and communication
technologies.
Castell also argues that globalization is a network of production, culture and power that
is constantly shaped by advances in technology, which range from communication
technologies to genetic engineering. This globalization represents a new age of
information (2005).
Information has become the key substance of all human activity and is directly
integrated into culture, institutions and experience. The development of new
information technology (IT), in particular, computers and the Internet, representing a
new technological paradigm and leading to a new ―mode of development‖ that Castells
terms ―informationalism.‖ Informationalism refers to a technological paradigm that
replaces and subsumes the previous paradigm of industrialism.
Yet, castells (2005) mentioned that it creates digital divide, the division of the world into
those areas and segments of population. Segment that switched on to the
Notable theory was the work of Anthony Giddens, expressing that globalization diminished
time and space. He also cited the risk of globalization in many aspects of the world. On
the aspect of global culture, there are three main bodies of theory regarding the effects of
globalization on local culture: homogenization, hybridization and heterogeneity or
polarization.
There are three main bodies of theory regarding the effects of globalization on local
culture: homogenization, hybridization and heterogeneity or polarization. Each of these
processes can be demonstrated in different parts of the world.
• Hybridization - Cultures are however rarely simply consumed. More often two
cultures clash and a new hybrid culture is formed. Hybridization stresses new and
constantly evolving cultural forms and identities produced by manifold transnational
processes and the fusion of distinct cultural processes.
Global Risk Society by Anthony Giddens. Giddens (2009) provocatively argues that
globalization has led to the creation of a ―global risk society.‖ Human social and
economic activities, especially in modernity, produce various risks such as pollution,
crime, new illnesses, food shortages, market crashes, wars, etc., and societies have
become more responsible for managing these risks that their activities intentionally or,
more often than not, unintentionally produced.
On the other hand, “global village‖ was introduced by Marshall McLuhan, that
technological advancement was made as culture was shared and spread.
Global Village by Marshall McLuhan. The late Marshall McLuhan, a media and
communication theorist, coined the term ―global village‖ in 1964 to describe the
phenomenon of the world‘s culture shrinking and expanding at the same time due to
pervasive technological advances that allow for instantaneous sharing of culture.
McLuhan chose the insightful phrase ―global village‖ to highlight his observation that
an electronic nervous system (the media) was rapidly integrating the planet - events in
one part of the world could be experienced from other parts in real-time, which is what
human experience was like when we lived in small villages.
Moreover, his insight known as ―the medium is the message‖ suggests that the qualities
of a medium have as much effect as the information it transmits. It is from this that
various medium are used to convey information in best way possible it is.
Another famous theory was the McDonaldization theory of George Ritzer, the
westernization of the world and the principle of a fastfood chain process.
Control - The substitution of more predictable non-human labor for human labor, either
through automation or the deskilling of the work force.
Meanwhile Roland Robertson stresses upon the significance of the local or the communal
which can be viewed as one ingredient of the overall globalization process.
Ethnoscapes are concerned with the flows of individuals around the world/global
movement of people.
Technoscapes refer to the flows of technology and skills to create linkages between
organizations around the world/ circulation of mechanical goods and software.
Steger (2009) also cited that globalization has four main dimensions: economic,
political, cultural, and ecological, with ideological aspects for each category.
Ideologies of Globalization
“Globalization” has been used in both popular and academic literature to describe a
wide variety of phenomena, including a process, a condition, a system, a force, and an
age.
