    Lesson 2 COMMUNICATIONS AND GLOBALIZATION

    ENGAGING: PUTTING THINGS IN THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE

    1. What is the image saying about the world


    today?
    2. What do you think has contributed to the
    easy access and exchange of information
    these days? Why?
    3. In transacting or communicating in a
    global setting, what vital preparations
    must be done? Why?

    INITIALIZING

    Globalization is the communication and assimilation among individuals,


    ethnicities, races, institutions, governments of various nations supported by
    technology and compelled by international trade. Due to globalization, the more you
    become exposed to diversity --- the valuing of the uniqueness or differences in gender
    preference, color, age, religious affiliation, ethnicity, education, social and economic
    status and political beliefs.

    Globalization is not a new process or concept. Years before the advent of


    technology, people had been purchasing and selling each other properties, goods and
    other objects of certain value.

    Communication is so constant and widespread that one cannot escape its influence.
    Without it people would be isolated and unable to give and receive ideas. Civilization
    itself would be impossible. However, the breakthroughs in communication in the past
    decades and in our 21st century have spurred increases in cross-border trade,
    investment and migration so large that many observers believe and we now claim we
    live in “one world” the globe world. Globalization is the process by which people in the
    world are unified into a single society and function together.
    Globalization is about the interconnectedness of people and businesses across the world that
    eventually leads to global cultural, political, and economic integration. It is the ability to move
    and communicate easily with others all over the world to conduct business internationally.
    How global issues affect communication?

    HOW GLOBAL ISSUES AFFECT COMMUNICATION?

    For the global issues to affect communication this may include: The sudden rise of issues in
    specific countries- this may affect communication in ways such as banning people from their
    countries or by cutting communications due to a much larger issue that made that particular
    area inaccessible for people.

    CONCEPT GROUNDING

    Communication has since been increasingly global, blurring national


    boundaries. The ability to communicate effectively in a global setting can be a
    challenge. Hence, to effectively communicate in a global context, a general
    understanding of the differences in conducting communication from one country to
    another or from one culture to another helps avoid miscommunication.

    People’s background and experiences influence their view of the world and the
    values, beliefs and behavior patterns assumed to be good. The following are possible
    cultural barriers to effective communication in a global environment:

    1. Cultural relativism- is the notion that a culture should be understood on its


    own terms not using standards of another culture, it involves looking at another
    culture by its own perspective instead of one’s own culture. A person who
    believes in cultural relativism understands that one culture is not better than
    another.
    2. Lack of knowledge of others’ culture
    3. Discrimination and harassment
    4. Language differences

    To get the desired outcome or response, the above barriers must be properly
    addressed. It is the responsibility of the parties involved in the communication process
    to eliminate the possible hindrances in their exchange. The goal of effective global
    communication is to achieve communication that gets the desired response leading to
    harmonious connections. Krizan (2014) suggests these strategies to become an
    effective global communicator:

    1. Review communication principles.


    2. Analyze the message receiver.
    3. Be open to an accepting of other cultures.
    4. Learn about cultures and apply what is learned.
    5. Consider language needs.
