(Part 1)

Did you know that in the early and late 1980’s, one most popular means of reaching out
to loved ones from abroad to their families in the Philippines was through “voice tapes?” You
might not be aware of it though, but it takes about a month or months for a taped recorded voice

message to be played by their families using cassette tape players. Well, that was prior
to our era of today when almost anything can be accessed in real time despite global distance.
Now, that gave birth to the present concept of globalization. Generally, globalization was born
out of the inter-linkages of nation – states which has in varied ways influenced the life of people
worldwide.

Lesson
Globalization
As cited in the Revisitadestatica (2012), the term globalization refers to the
emergence of an international network, belonging to an economic and social system.
One of the earliest uses of the term "globalization", as known, was in 1930 - in a
publication entitled “Towards New Education” to designate an overview of the human
experience in education.
Since the invention of the concept, globalization has inspired numerous
definitions and has had a history going back in time to the great commercial and
imperialist movements throughout Asia and the Indian Ocean since the fifteenth
century.
Roland Robertson, a professor of sociology at the University of Aberden, was the
first person who defined globalization as "the understanding of the world and the
increased perception of the world as a whole."
Martin Albrow and Elizabeth King, sociologists, define globalization as "all those
processes by which the peoples of the world are incorporated into a single world
society. It can be linked to the local, the national and the regional. On the one hand, a
connection is made between social and economic relationships and networks,
organized on a local or national, on the other hand, it connects social and economic
relationships and networks formed on wider scale the regional and global interactions.
It is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and
governments of different nations. A process driven by international trade and investment
and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on
culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human
physical well-being on societies around the world. For many developing nations,
globalization has led to an improvement in standard of living through improved roads
and transportation, improved health care, and improved education due to the global
expansion of corporations. However, globalization has had a negative effect on
individuals who live in developed nations. Some of the factors that cause globalization
are migration and labor.
Migration is a movement to another place, often of a large group of people.

Labor is defined as work, especially hard physical work.

People are more willing to move between different countries today in search for work.
Remittances now play a large role in transfers from developed countries to developing
countries.
Types of Globalization
Economic Globalization is the increasing economic integration and interdependence
of national, regional, and local economies across the world through an intensification of
cross boarder movement of goods, services, technologies and capital.
Examples:
 Trans-national trades are companies that extend beyond the borders of one
country example of these are Unilever and McDonalds
 World Trade Organization is the only global international organization
dealing with the rules of trade between nations. The WTO has 164 members and
24 observer governments.
 Foreign Direct Investment is an investment in the form of a controlling ownership in
a business in one country by an entity based in another country. It is thus
distinguished from a foreign portfolio investment by a notion of direct control. In
2019, China and South Korea followed Singapore as the largest investors in the
Philippines.

Social Globalization is a social transformation or process leading to the achievement

of people-centered development. Human-centered development concept is offered as
an alternative strategy to bring about a more equity development outcome.
Examples:
 UN General Assembly
 Partnership of International Development Programs
 Social Integration, Gender Equity and access to Social Services
 HIV/AIDS Awareness

Political Globalization refers to an increasing trend toward multilateralism in an

emerging transnational state apparatus and the emergence of national and international
non-governmental organizations that act as watchdogs over governments. The
government has four distinct roles in addressing sustainability concerns. These roles
are as follows:
1. Policy development
2. Regulation
3. Facilitation
4. Internal sustainability management

Financial Globalization is a collective concept that refers to increasing global

linkages created through cross-border financial flows. Financial integration refers to an
individual country's linkages to international capital markets.
Technological Globalization is accelerated in large part by technological transmission,
the spread of technology across borders. Although the Philippines is not the world's
least technologically advanced country, it is far from leading. It ranks 83rd out of 138
countries in terms of technological readiness, according to the Department of Science
and Technology (DOST).
Ecological Globalization occurs when ecosystems are constantly exchanging
materials through the movement of air in the atmosphere, the flow of water in rivers and
the migration of animals across the landscape. The world is also becoming highly
interconnected through the movement of people and the transport of goods locally to
globally (EurekAlert.com).
Geographical Globalization is defined as the set of processes (economic, social,
cultural, technological, and institutional that contributes to the relationship between
societies and individuals around the world. It is a progressive process by which
exchanges and flows between different parts of the world are intensified.

Interconnections of People and Nations

Globalization leads to interconnectedness of people and nations, where people
refer to a group of people with commonality, such as religion, culture and language who
lives in a specific area, while nation refers to a larger group of people organized in a
specific place, which embodied an independent government of its country where they
can decide on their own.
Try to imagine how can we connect to our loved ones especially in this time of
pandemic without technologies? Cell phones connect people all over the world like
never before. There are a multitude of platforms through which people can
communicate too, including Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, and
Snapchat.
Considering the new normal education, how can we enroll in our online
educational programs in school from anywhere in the Philippines without the different
platforms and access new information on virtual topics?
Collaboration means to work together with others to achieve a common goal.
Unconditionally sharing everything and helping each other while mutually working
together in cohesive “collective” in unusual roles embracing talents of each person to
synergize or invent something new in a way that:

 benefits all the groups,

 serves the whole team’s goal, and
 may result to creative innovation.
Cooperation is the process of working together to the same end. It is an active
help from a person, organization etc. such as an orderly sharing of space and
resources. Cooperation means conditionally sharing information and resources while
functioning together within an independent “connective” in typical roles with workloads
accepted as unequal to change something in a way that:

 benefits some individuals in a group,

 meets their personal needs, and
 may result in disrupted innovation.
