2. Write your personal experience of globalization. ( 1 paragraph only.)

- Growing up in Cebu City, Philippines, I witnessed globalization firsthand in the bustling
streets, various cultures, and dynamic cultural interactions that defined city life.
Globalization has permeated every area of daily life, from thriving night markets bursting
with goods from all over the world to a varied choice of restaurants offering international
cuisine. The annual Sinulog Festival, a vibrant festival that attracts millions of visitors
from around the world, exemplified this connection as I met people from all origins,
swapped tales, and delighted in the common joy of cultural festivities. Globalization was
more than a concept in Cebu City; it was a lived reality that changed my perspective,
promoted cross-cultural understanding, and highlighted the need for human connection
in an increasingly interconnected globe.
3. Create your OWN short definition of globalization based on the story and your personal
experience.
- Globalization is the complex web of cultural, economic, and social contacts that cross
geographical boundaries, as illustrated by the stories of Gio, Latif, and the Laksa, as well
as my own experiences. It represents the blending of many culinary traditions, the
interconnection of global commerce networks, and the vivid tapestry of multicultural
communities. In essence, globalization is a dynamic force that brings people together,
develops cross-cultural understanding, and shapes our interconnected globe, enriching
our lives with a diverse range of experiences, flavors, and opinions.
