LESSON 3 – INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF PEOPLE AND NATIONS
Globalization embraces a change in the spatial society connected with collective transactions and relations,
produce transcontinental or networks of interregional movements of endeavor, authority, and collaboration.
There are four types of change:
1. It includes stretching of social, political, and financial situations across regional, national, and continental
political boarders.
2. It allows magnification or the increasing scope, the interconnectedness and the trade flow, finance,
investment, migration, culture, and among others.
3. It keeps global interconnectedness in speeding up interactions and processes in communication and
transportation, merger of ideas, information, people, goods, and capital.
4. It tells about the global interactions and global consequences resulting to a blurry possibility between domestic
and global affairs.
SIX COMPONENTS OF GLOBAL INTERCONNECTEDNESS
Globalization means updating and improving the structure of every department to secure sustainable
development. The world is divided into the first world and third world, these super power nations extend their financial help
through foreign aids to poor countries to alleviate poverty, provide quality education, and assist its infrastructure and
projects. However, it can be argued that donations and help from foreign nations can be sometimes masked with political
agenda and political intentions. To reject a support from other countries may taint and sever international ties between
countries and in the making of foreign politics and contracts, government must study its outcomes and benefits before
making deals.
1. ECONOMY
- The process or system by which goods and services are produced, sold, and bought in a country or across a
country.
a) Trade – Is the interchange of goods and services among the economies of various nations. Exports in
international trade continue to increase; jobs have been created, remarkable increase in competition as
well as health, technological and educational developments alleviate poverty through global trade.
b) Finance – Global finance is translated as capital flow through the exchange of financial instruments or
assets among nations by public or private entities. Poverty alleviation can also be made possible through
FDI since it offers jobs, competition, provides technology, education, and training to the workers of the
host country. Unlocking of Difficulties – FDI or foreign direct investments – is the procurement of a
foreign-based company that goes beyond a “threshold of 10%” allowing a managerial involvement in the
foreign business.
c) Foreign Aid – Is the transmission of funds in form of loans or grants or maybe in combination of both as
well as includes the giving. Foreign aid donors help weak or failed countries by lessening suffering and
alleviating poverty, providing advance geopolitical goals as well as political results, development in the
economy, and good governance and balance in society.
2. POLITICS
- Global politics takes roots not in the old-fashioned geopolitical matters but largely on the social, economic,
and ecological issues. Pollution, drugs, terrorism, cybercrimes, and human rights are amongst an increasing
number of transnational policy issues which cut across territorial jurisdictions and existing political alignments.
These require and continue to require international cooperation for their effective resolution.
3. MIGRATION
- Migration can be provisional or a permanent transfer of residence among individuals between nations.
Migrants can be classified as (a) permanent immigrants, (b) high-and-low skill workers, (c) asylum applicants,
(d) refugees, (e) undocumented individuals, (f) visa free migrants, and (g) students.
4. PEOPLE AND CULTURE
- When daily life experiences are being diffused into ideas or through things and while it is shared globally, a
phenomenon known as cultural globalization happens. It is associate with the internet, electronic business,
global travel and popular culture that will fashion uniformity of the human experience.
5. IDEAS
- The most powerful tool that shapes development is ideas being passageway of transmitting and handing
intellectual formulations in any endeavor that will affect the production of systems, managerial, and structural
activities, governance, in the legal arena and the trends in technology.
6. ENVIRONMENT
- Globalization also takes watch of avoiding environmental destruction from one state - protecting oceans and
atmosphere against from pollution and degradation, removing toxics discards and dirty factories, and other
more upon maintaining ecological system from various parts of the world by creating global companies,
networks, and contracts that contribute to manage safety for the environment.
Conclusion:
Globalization is often challenged and is highly political. There is a struggle between regional governance and the
outside elements of globalization allowing them to besought its desire. Its highly needed that the national government
must review their roles and functions with all of its sovereignty to protect its rights from contracts made by other nations.
BENEFITS OF COLLABORATION AND COOPERATION IN GLOBALIZATION
1. It creates a global village through an exchange of ideas and information through the social network and the
wireless web.
2. It fosters local, regional, and national growth in the economy by being able to access low-cost goods from other
countries, provide employment, and international collaboration of scientific and technology development.
3. It allows people to understand and adapt cultures, values, and beliefs of different countries.
4. It motivates world leaders to create policies to protect the welfare of the people, the community, as well as the
environment.
5. It speaks of modernity and all traditional methods of transactions are considered obsolete.
NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF INTEGRATION
1. When everything is digital, social interaction is affected since everybody will no longer need to interact or meet
someone in person. The loss of personal touch and conversation will be replaced with digital communication.
People may tend to be individualistic rather than being collective. Family bonding or being with friends may not be
working anymore and people may yield to being alone most of the time.
2. When everything is shared internationally and globally, there is a tendency for losing the culture of a
particular group of people. The tendency to copycat and have a uniform behavior may likely arise in all nations.
3. When skills in each individual become the main focus of employment, those who are financially deprived will
be in the bottom of the work pyramid. The gap between social classes (rich, middle, and poor) may appear to be
wider from each other.
