 What I Need to Know

The idea that the world is becoming smaller stems from the rise of
advancement in technology and the breakdown of different barriers. Jollibee’s
food chain is found almost in all major cities. The NBA in U.S. can already be
viewed live,anywhere in the world, and here in the Philippines we are having more
and more foreign students enrolled in colleges and universities. This manifestation
is largely part of what we call globalization.

Understanding the causes of globalization will enlighten the learners

understand on migration, including the importance of collaboration and
cooperation in the changing world.

MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES:

The learner understands the components, operations, effects, and networks

of globalization in his/her daily life.
 Explain the concrete effects of globalization to one’s daily life
(HUMSS_MCT12-If-g-2)
 Explain the need for collaboration and cooperation to achieve
interconnectedness of people and nations (HUMSS_MCT12-If-g-4)

At the end of the module, you should be able to:

K: Define globalization and its effect to the people;

S: Make a concept map regarding factors of migration; and
A: Appreciate the importance of globalization through personal reflection.

 What’s New

Change is inevitably in every aspect of life, both personal and social.

Such change is experienced by people in various ways and in different
magnitudes and consequences. The world today is significantly experiencing
these changes in the field of environment, culture, politics and economics.

Task 2:
Direction: A Case Study: Complete the following exercises by reading the short passage about a
brief history of the Coco-Cola Company and fill in the blanks to complete the statements that follow.
Write your answer in your notebook.

The Coca-Cola Company

The Coca-Cola company was founded in the United States in 1886. The company set up bottling
plants in Canada in 1906. In 1928, it introduced the soft drink Coca-Cola at the Olympic Games which
were held in Amsterdam. In the 1940s, the company began to set up bottling plants in countries around
the world. Coca-Cola is popular because it has been advertised as a brand of soft drink connected with
fun, friends and good times. Its international image was successfully promoted by a 1971 commercial,
where a group of young people from all over the world gathered on a hilltop in Italy to sing "I'd Like to
Buy the World a Coke." In 1978, the Coca-Cola Company was selected as the only non-Chinese company
allowed to sell packaged cold drinks in the People's Republic of China. Today, the company produces
nearly 400 brands in over 200 countries. More than 70 percent of the company’s income comes from
outside the United States. Coca-Cola is extraordinarily a good example of multinationalization. Its
success raises the question of why and how it has been so successful. The multinationalization of the
Coca-Cola Company is also often used as an example to illustrate the concept of economic globalization.

[Note: The following website provides more detailed information about the history of the company:

 What is It

https://www.pinclipart.com/maxpin/iihowTi/

Global networks
A global network is any communication network which spans the entire
earth. The term, as used in this article refers to a more restricted way to
bidirectional communication networks, and to technology-based networks.
Early networks such as international mail and unidirectional communication
networks, such as radio and television are described in another subject.
The first network that was establish using electrical telegraphy and
global span was achieved in 1899. The telephony network was the second to
achieve global status, in the 1950s. More recently, we have the interconnected
IP networks (principally the Internet, with estimated 2.5 billion users
worldwide in 2014 and the GSM mobile communication networks with over 6
billion users’ worldwide users in 2014 from the largest global networks of all).
Setting network require immense, costly and lengthy effort lasting for
decades. Elaborate interconnections, switching and routing devices, laying
out physical carriers of information, such as land and submarines cables and
earth stations must be sent in operation. In addition, international
communication protocol, legislation and agreements must also be considered.

5
Globalization
Globalization is the most powerful force for change in the world today
affecting all societies in the planet. It entails the movement of capital, free flow
of goods and services, the increased mobility of individuals, and the
expansions of multinational corporations and transnational organizations.
Globalization has integrated the product and financial markets of economies
around the world through the driving forces of trade and capital flows across
borders.
One of the goals of globalization is for the world to become more
interdependent. People and countries of the world are closely woven together
especially in the economic aspect.
It aims to standardize income distribution through its economic
integration schemes. It shows that globalization have both advantages and
disadvantages.

Types of Globalization
1. Economic - Countries that trade with others and have few trade barriers
are economically globalized.

2. Informational - A measure of how easily information and ideas passed

between people in their own country and between different countries (includes
access to internet and social media networks)

3. Political - The amount of political co-operation there is between countries.

4. Cultural - sharing of ideas, attitudes and values across national borders.

This sharing generally leads to an interconnectedness and interaction
between peoples of diverse cultures and ways of life. Mass media and
communication technologies are the primary instruments for cultural
globalization.

Causes of Globalization

1. Improved Communications
• The development of communication technologies such as internet,
email and mobile phones have been vital to the growth of globalization
because they help MNCs (multinational corporation or company) to
operate throughout the world.
• The development of satellite TV channels such as Sky and CNN have
also provided worldwide marketing avenues for the concept and
products of Globalization.

6
2. Improved Transport
• The development of refrigerated and container transport, bulk
shipping and improved air transport has allowed the easy mass
movement of goods throughout the world. This assists Globalization.

3. Free Trade Agreements

• MNCs and rich capitalist countries have always promoted global free
trade as a way of increasing their own wealth and influence.
• International organizations such as the World Trade Organization and
the IMF also promote free trade.

4. Global Banking
• Modern communication technologies allow vast amounts of capital to
flow freely and instantly throughout the world.
• The equivalent of up to $US1.3 trillion is traded each day through
international stock exchanges in cities such as New York, London and
Tokyo.

5. The Growth of MNCs

• The rapid growth of big MNCs such as Microsoft, McDonalds and Nike
is a cause as well as a consequence of Globalization.
• The investment of MNCs in farms, mines and factories across the
world is a major part of Globalization.
• Globalization allows MNCs to produce goods and services and to sell
products on a massive scale throughout the world.

The Effects of Globalization

1. Changed Food Supply

•Food supply is no longer tied to the seasons. We can buy food
anywhere in the world at any time of the year.
2. Division of Labor
• Because MNCs search for the cheapest locations to
manufacture and assemble components, production processes
may be moved from developed to developing countries where costs
are lower.
3. Less Job Security
• In the global economy jobs are becoming more temporary and
insecure.
• A survey of American workers showed that people now hold 7
to 10 jobs over their working life.
4. Damage to the Environment
• More trade means more transport which uses more fossil fuels
and cause pollution.
• Climate change is a serious threat to our future.

7
5. Cultural Impact
• Websites such as YouTube connect people across the planet. As
the world becomes more unified, diverse cultures are being
ignored. MNCs can create a monoculture as they remove local
competition and thereby force local firms to close.

6. Increase in anti-Globalization Protests

• There is a growing awareness of the negative impacts of
Globalization. People have begun to realize that Globalization can
be challenged by communities supporting each other in business
and society and through public protest and political lobbying.

Migration

https://ruparaii.wordpress.com/2016/11/03/migration-in-india/ Migration
is the movement by people from one place to another with the
intentions of settling, permanently in the new location. The movement is often
over long distances and from one country to another, but internal migration is
also possible. Indeed, this is becoming a dominant trend globally.
Types of migration
1. Internal migration – this is defined as the process where migrants look
for a new residence within their own country,
state, or continent.
2. External migration – moving in a different country, state or continent
to a new residence
3. Migration – leaving one’s country to move to another
4. Immigration – coming to live permanently in a foreign country.
5. Forced migration – this happens when the state or authorities forced
its people to migrate for a reason.

Networks for Change: Collaboration & Cooperation

What Is Collaboration?
Collaboration is a practice used at various workplaces which allows
several people or groups to work together to complete a task and achieve the
same goal. Typically, collaboration involves two or more people working in an
organization to use internet to view or share the documents and the content
of various other types with each other to achieve a common goal.

What Is Cooperation?
Cooperation is a process that allows various people or groups of people
or organizations to act or work on the same project for mutual benefit instead
of competing with each other for the benefit of every individual. Though the
goal of every participant in cooperation is the same but their interests are
individual. It is based on “you help me and I help you” in achieving a common
goal for the benefit of both of us individually.
