The Power of

GLOBALIZATIO
N
Globalization
- it refers to the growing integration of
economies and societies around the world (The
World Bank Group)
Globalization
- is the 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 (Globalization101.org)
Globalization
- it is a set of economic, social, technological,
political and cultural structures and processes
arising from the changing character of the
production, consumption, and trade of goods and
assets that comprise the international political
economy (UNESCO)
 The TYPES of
GLOBALIZATIO
N
1. Financial Globalization
Key Features: inter-connected financial systems
Example: stocks exchange and banking
PRO: inter-connectivity and technology = fast access to
universal markets and up rise to money worth
CON: a downturn in one market can affect the whole world
1 U.S. Dollar = 52.22 Php PESO
If the Philippines have managed to bear with the Global
demands,
and 1 Peso became equal to 1 U.S. Dollar
You can spend it into:
Php 0.02 Centavos = Candy
Php 0.18 Centavos = Transportation
Php 1.00 = 1 Regular Meal in Jollibee
Php 100.00 = 1 P5,000 worth of Cellphone
2. Economic Globalization
Key Features: before, local micro business owners were stuck within
the locality, but today, sales increase wherein there is a market
Example: Local Products exported Internationally
PRO: Increase in customers and sales
CON: increased difference between “haves” and “have nots”
(increased social demands) and leads the corporation to have more
power than countries.
 EXPORT = PRO: Increased Customers & Sales
IMPORT = CON: Presence of many imported products
that Filipinos consume
 Increased Social Demands
With the presence of such branded products in the country, higher
social demands grew

And fast-paced corporations in first-world countries earn much

more.

MiddleasClass
branded products
were more introduced. The Hypebeast clothing
style for example, which made the symbol for being a
Low Class
“High Class” and a “Middle Class” disrupted. As a result, it angered
both classes unconsciously.
3. Technological Globalization
Key Features: the “Global Village” has expanded to every
corner of the globe
Example: communication, transaction and entertainment
PRO: fast and efficient development and financial growth
CON: third-world countries’ growth are slower
 With
technological
advancement, it
will be an equal
opportunity for
Filipinos and
any other third-
world country
to compete and
cater their own
stories in the
global market. Imagine the Philippine Mythical Creature
“Bakunawa” fighting with the Western’s Godzilla.
4. Political Globalization
Key Features: is the uniformity of policies
Example: safety and assurance
PRO: convenience, strong ties
CON: pressure and drastic changes to third-world
countries
5. Cultural Globalization
Key Features: harmonization of world culture
Example: eventually have the same taste (in living, in
music, food, and values)
PRO: there will be equal treatment
CON: loss of world cultural diversity, western culture can
be of conflict with some traditions or belief in religion
6. Sociological Globalization
Key Features: having a “single-world” society
Example: accepting social differences
PRO: harmony in daily interaction
CON: None
7. Ecological Globalization
Key Features: the planet must be treated as a single
ecosystem rather than separate
Example: restoration and protection of forests and
animals
PRO: global warming safety
CON: None
8. Geographical Globalization
Key Features: a borderless world
Example: no imposition of power
PRO: a peaceful and a fulfilling world
CON: Vulnerability
Even before, Filipinos experience having no VISAs during the Pre-Hispanic
Period of the Philippines

During the Pre-Hispanic

Period, Filipinos consider no
borders. As long as there are
any sea or river, it can be
traveled upon.

The reason Filipinos before are

really considered “Taga-ilog”

(Tagalog)
The Advantages of
GLOBALIZATIO
N
1. Globalization helps the world to
focus on progress.
Having presence of a global need, any economy
may fulfill these needs by participating and
joining the global market in production of goods,
services or programs for development.
2. It would stabilize global currencies
to create an equal playing field.

Meeting the needs of a country equally, may help

create more equal playing/ earning field for everyone.
1 Kuwait dinar= U.S. $3.30 (both from
1 Bahraini dinar = U.S. $ 2.65 middle-east)
3. We can use our resources as one
planet instead of one nation with
globalization.
It costs $30 Billion per year to solve the world
problem for hunger.
It is only 5% of what the United States currently
spends on defense.
World Wide Hunger
U.S. Defense Modernization
4. Globalization could reduce human
trafficking and labor exploitation.

Work opportunities across borders that are open

for Filipino workers will decrease the rate of
unemployment and increase their standard of living.
Unemployment
5. It could prevent governments from
creating repressive legislation.

Equality is peacefully served through

globalization. Many country is now given their equal
rights to participate and enjoy the global world.

6. We can communicate better
because of globalization.
Because of the Internet, it is easier to communicate
with other people all over the world today. This has
also created new business opportunities even with a
time-zone that is 12 hours away.
ACADSOC
7. Globalization create more
opportunities for trade.
If the global world will offer fewer borders or obstacles
for trade such as lesser taxes and tariffs, then everyone
will have more access to unique goods and services that
are available in various regions of the globe. It could
make some items to be potentially cheaper also.
Unique Products around the world
The Disadvantages of
GLOBALIZATION
1. Globalization can leave some
cultures behind.

It is not the wealthiest countries who are solely

affected by this problematic issue. The developing
world may get left behind if they isolate instead of
integrate as the world moves forward.
Integration Vs Isolation
Japan Even with Japan’s isolation,
since it was rich in
economy, culture and
tradition, its isolation with
other countries made their
country more developed.
But for third-world
countries such as the
Philippines, isolation
would be difficult.

North Korea
2. It could create adverse impacts for
the global environment.

The countries that have gone through the industrial

revolution have created the issues with greenhouse gas
emissions that 90+% of scientists around the world
believe are a significant contributor to the processes of
global warming.

3. Each culture could be asked to
change how they define themselves.

National borders are not the only boundaries that humans set
for themselves as they go about the business of daily life. We
also set limits on our cultural identity, ethnicity and family
environment. But, with the presence of globalization, the mark
of being a “Filipino” may already have been lost or have been
just the same with the neighboring countries and culture.
 What is the true mark of being a
Filipino?

Hospitality Strong-family
ties
Smiling even
With problems Courage
If it is about being HOSPITABLE, it is
being a Filipino NO MORE!

Is there still a true mark
of being a Filipino?
Then what is it?
4. Globalization would temporarily
reduce high-paying jobs.

As there would be a surge of employment in the places of the world

where the cost of living is lower, it will be a threat to employees
with high paid income versus low-income applicants. Since some
corporations may choose to hire low-income applicants (but with
the same skills) for their workforce as part of saving.
5. There is also the chance that
globalization would only help the
wealthy.
The people who have the power today are the ones who
will drive the emphasis for globalization to become a
reality. They are the ones who will create policies,
legislation, and frameworks that will bring the world
closer together.
6. It could create health issues for
human populations.
Imagine a world anyone can travel at any time to
whatever location they choose. The lack of borders
would certainly promote a level of freedom in our world
that we have never seen before in history. It could also
create problems with disease transfers that could impact
the entire society.
Communicable Diseases
African Pig Disease
7. Globalization could reduce the
availability of social protection
programs.
There will be a reduction on the available supportive
services on high developing countries since it does not
exist much in the lesser developing countries where
income level is low. Wherein, adjustments of the high
developing countries are really needed to reach equality.
The METAPHORS of
GLOBALIZATION
1. SOLIDITY
Refers to the barriers that prevent or make
difficult the movement of things
Natural Solids – landforms and bodies of water
Man-made Solids/Barriers – Great Wall of China
– Nine-dash line

If old beliefs are to be asked,

The Philippines have an even older
Basis for the ownership of the seas
and islands in debate.

claims of the islands and seas.
2. LIQUIDITY
Refers to the increasing ease of movement of people,
things, information and places in the contemporary world.
CHARACTERISTICS
2.1 It changes quickly. (Financial changes)
2.2 Their movement is difficult to stop. (Youtube, Fb)
2.3 Tends to melt whatever stands in its path. (China)

3. FLOWS
Are movement of people, things, places, and information brought by
the growing penetrability of global limitations.
Flows that are observed today:
Virtual flow of legal & illegal information around the world (fake news
and pornography)
Immigrants recreating ethnic territories (Filipino Communities abroad,
and Chinese Community in the Philippines)
