Main Idea
Globalization is a situation where in the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. As a consequence, the world is imagined as
one global village. Globalization eliminates spatial barriers. An event that is happening in one part of the globe can be experienced by
the rest of the world through the networked technologies of the media. All these brought about tumultuous changes in
communications, travel, technology, migration, governance, education, and in other ways of living. It is acknowledged that for
centuries, people from various places would travel and sell their goods in other lands. But what marks modern globalization is the
enormous speed that reconfigures time and space. Theories of globalization vary in its approach and analyses of the phenomenon, they
tend to gravitate towards two major perspectives-one would focus on inequality, while the other would foreground the complexity.

Main Idea

The changes brought by globalization at the global scale are influenced by certain ideologies. These are widely
shared ideas, values and beliefs that are accepted as truth. They explain and organize the complexities of the world into
fairly simple, but frequently distorted, images and slogans to provide direction for social and political endeavors.

Example/s:

NEOLIBERALISM

 The ideology of neoliberalism underpins globalization

 Right and freedom of private entities to conduct their affairs and be protected not only by oppression but from any
form of intervention.
 Promotes individualism
 Goods should be differentiated and customized to make it more marketable to each consumers preference
 Individualism may lead to isolation when taken to extreme
 It also discourages cooperation and collective action

Activity/Exercises:
Directions: Define the term “Neoliberalism” as you understand it. Use the concept web below to show your answer.

Learning Targets: Evaluate how globalization affects the lives of people

Main Idea
Advocates of globalization identify the impact of technological revolution on why globalization is important.
Technologies such as radios, TV’s, phones and the internet have become widely available, enabling people, families and
communities across the globe to connect each other in real time and at more affordable prices.

Example/s:
An overseas call from the Philippines to Middle east in early 2000s cost two dollars per minute but this amount
eventually became lower in the subsequent years. The cost of travel has also dropped by about 50 percent since 1978. The
emergence of low-cost carriers that provide special price offer such as “Piso flights” made the transition possible.

However, not all participants in the global free trade end up as winners. There are countries that are expelled from
the global networks and have sunk in serious debt crisis and depletion of human and natural resources. One major
criticism hurled against globalization is how it has made the rich richer and the poor poorer. In the other words,
globalization has worsened inequality. According to a study conducted by a global financial service company credit
Suisse, half of world’s wealth is now in the hands of one percent of the world’s population. The wealthiest are found most
in US, while those in China and in the United Kingdom are at a distant second and third, respectively. More than half (52)
of the 100 top global brands are US based companies (the top 3 are Microsoft, Coca-Cola, Facebook).
