Name: Date:
Year & Block:

We discussed the different definitions of globalization. In this global age that we live in,
globalization gained various views from many authors and scholars. In turn, these diverse
definitions can affect how one can appreciate globalization as a process. Furthermore, we
analyzed globalization through conceptual metaphors such as solids, liquids, and flows.

In this activity, you are to see the actual application of globalization on the different aspects
of daily life such as politics, music, sports, film, celebrity, and disaster.

1. Answer the following questions:


a) Enumerate at least three of the most recent songs you have listened. Where did
they originate? Identify the nationality of the writer and/or artist for each music.
b) What gadgets or devices do you usually use to listen to music?
c) Where were these gadgets or devices made? Where is the company based?
d) How did you access these music? Did you purchase them online or listen to them
through YouTube, Spotify, and other music channels?

2. Using a visual representation, create your generalizations and discuss: What is


globalization? How would you define globalization?

3. What metaphors are you going to use in order to improve your own definition of
globalization? Enumerate at least three and explain one of them (pp. 3- 4).
