Process Questions:

1. What is globalization in connection with the topic global city?

They are clearly worth studying, because cities are central places in the process
of mutual influence of globalization on people (and vice versa). They are meeting
places, communication nodes and sites of exchange as well as locations where
global processes become particularly visible and influential.

2. How does globalization affect global cities and vice versa?

In sum, the effects of globalization on cities and the concept of world city are
forming. In the context of the problem of globalization, the globalization of
economic, cultural, social, spatial and environmental values and effects on
management understanding.

3. What is the meaning of “engines of globalization?”

Cities are the engines of globalization. They are social magnets, growing faster
and faster. In the current generation urban life has become the dominant form of
human life throughout the world.

Answer the following questions:

1. What are global cities?

A global city, also called a power city, world city , alpha city or world center, is a city
which is a primary node in the global economic network.
2. What are the characteristics of a global city?

A global city has wealth, power and influence to other countries as well as hosts
the largest capital markets. London, New York, Paris, Rome and Tokyo are one of
the most well-known global cities as it provides global competitiveness for its
citizens and companies.

3. What are the reasons for an increasing occurrence of global cities?

The increase in global cities is linked to the globalization of economies and the
centralization of mass production within urban centers. The two factors have led
to the emergence of networks of activities that seek to fulfill the service and
financial requirements of multinationals.

4. Why is globalization a spatial phenomenon?

In my opinion the spatial dimension of globalization is largely Geographical. Today,

globalization is almost entirely economic. (The exceptions are the NGO and NPO,
but they represent a fraction of the global economy.) Globalization grows because
it is economically good for the nations who participate. Economic globalization
necessarily depends on Geography — the spatial aspect. This is because different
nations in different climates, have different sorts of riches to supply to the Global
Market.

5. How do cities serve as engines of globalization?

Cities are the engines of globalization. They are social magnets, growing faster and
faster. In the current generation urban life has become the dominant form of
human life throughout the world. The problems generated by the present rate of
urban growth are new, and cannot be solved on the basis of the lessons of the
past.

Topic 2: Global Demography

1. What do you think are the factors that would affect demographic transition?

Global population levels, having grown slowly for most of human history, are
now rising. The demographic transition model shows population change over
time. It studies how birth rate and death rate affect the total population of a
country. It shows marked differences between LEDCs and MEDCs.
2. Do you believe in the neo-Malthusian argument? Why?

Well, in a sense yes. Probably not the same as you, though. And the best
thing is the population control method of choice.It is completely undeniable
that the best population control is education and welfare. Look at ALL the
most developed countries and you’ll see how birth rates are down and age
is getting higher.There have been programs for the education of women in
places like the south-east asia (I think one of the biggest was in India or
Bangladesh or somewhere around there) and where families previously had
like 12 kids on average and could barely scrape by, after the program they
had 1 or 2 kids, three in some rare cases, and the livelihood was much
better.

3. How can technology and interventions in development offset the pressures of

population growth?

The rational is for more younger people to work due to more older people
who don’t anymore. but while there is some truth to this, it’s very badly
overstated. The superdense population in countries like India, Bangladesh
and Sub Suharan Africa is far, far past sustainability with or without
technology and development in some areas.

4. Under what circumstances is rapid population growth beneficial to societies?

It is only beneficial to a specific society if the numerical birth rate is

falling.Theoretically the best situation, all things considered, would be a
stable world population IF we had a 18th century population.This century is
an new economic/social experiment, environment, that the world has never
seen. The populations in all 1st world nations is decreasing as the standard of
living increases but increasing in all 3rd world nations.

Assignments:
1. Do advanced research and read on the following topics:
a. Migration

Migration is about the movement of people from place to place. There are
usually push factors and pull factors at work. Find out more about the
reasons behind the trends and migration policy.

b. Benefits and Detriments for the Sending Countries

One element of immigration that is seen to benefit the sending country is the
payment of remittances, the sending of money back home. These large
transfers of money, from the prosperous developed world to the poorer
developing world, are often viewed as key to the latter’s economic
development.

c. The Problem of Human Trafficking

Human trafficking happens in almost every country around the world,

including the United States. Traffickers represent every social, ethnic, and
racial group. Various organizational types exist in trafficking, including large
nationwide gangs and criminal organizations, local street and motorcycle
gangs, and individuals with no affiliation with any one group or organization.
Traffickers are not only men; women are also perpetrators.1 Increasingly,
traffickers are using fear tactics to lure children and youth into commercial sex
acts and/or compelled labor. The base of the issue is the traffickers’ goal of
exploiting and enslaving victims and the coercive and deceptive practices they
use to do so.

d. Integration

IT integration, or systems integration, is the connection of data, applications,

APIs, and devices across your IT organization to be more efficient, productive,
and agile. Integration is key when discussing business transformation—
fundamental changes in how you conduct business to adapt as the market
shifts—as it makes everything in IT work together. Integration not only
connects, but it also adds value through the new functionalities provided by
connecting different systems’ functions. For instance, Apache Kafka is an open
source platform that allows you to integrate streams of data with your
applications, so they can act on data in real-time.

2. Answer the following:

a. Why are migrants mostly beneficial for receiving countries?

For instance, if immigrants provide the labor, capital, and entrepreneurship to

set up a new business that caters to a global market, many of the benefits to
consumers are global, but some of the benefits of the economic activity are
concentrated in the area where the business was set up.

b. What are the benefits and detriments of economies dependent on migrant

remittances?
The reliance on overseas money transfers can have an extremely damaging and
destabilising effect on global economies. While most financial markets respond
to economic crises with cutbacks, nations who rely on remittances often
respond in the opposite direction. If a nation suffers financial difficulties,
overseas migrants will often increase the amount of money they send home.
Instead of relying on remittances as an integrated part of their economy,
developing countries treat remittances as insurance — protecting family and
friends against localised problems.

c. Why is migrant integration a challenging issue for states?

Integration is difficult for states because it exposes a truth that many are
reluctant to acknowledge publicly. Despite the overwhelming international
focus on return and reintegration of migrants back into their home
communities, many migrants will not - often cannot - go home.

d. How do migrants prompt xenophobia and racism in receiving countries?

There are several ways in which they can do this. One way is by being better
educated, more competent or working harder than locals. This prompts
 xenophobia among locals who have a well-developed sense of entitlement.
Another is by committing crimes. It doesn’t take many foreigners to commit a
crime before locals start seeing all foreigners, or all immigrants from a
particular country as being criminals. This is prejudice, but it happens.

Process Questions:

1. In your own perspective, do you think global migration helps your country?
Why?

Migration is often driven by the search for better livelihoods and new
opportunities. Indeed, global and regional social and economic inequalities
are expressed most powerfully through the figure of the migrant, as one who
crosses borders in search of work, education and new horizons.

2. Based on what you’ve learned about human trafficking, do you think is it

possible to
be resolved, if yes, how, if not, why?
No one knows for sure. All anyone seems to know definitively is that human
trafficking is an insidious practice, one that is incredibly hard to crack down on.
This article looks at some of the complexities that make human trafficking so
hard to stop. The objective isn’t to offer solutions, but rather outline some of
the obstacles in the way of effectively dealing with the issue of human
trafficking.

3. Referring to what you have discussed, how does global migration

complement the
economic well-being of the state?

Migration has a profound impact on the lives of the migrant households, but
also their societies are shaped by the cumulative effects of labor mobility and
consequently remittances. Literature provides interesting insights into the true
development impact of migration. Dilip was asked to provide a background
document assessing the state of the current knowledge for a roundtable
discussion at the Civil Society Days of the Global Forum of Migration and
Development 2010 held in November in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

OFW Survey:
Do the activity follow the instructions?
1. What has changed in your communities because of global migration?

Global migration’s impact and opportunity. Migration has become a flashpoint

for debate in many countries. But McKinsey Global Institute research finds
that it generates significant economic benefits—and more effective
integration of immigrants could increase those benefits.

2. How are people coping with the visit and return of the immigrants?

During the migration process, people learn and adopt new skills, ... All these
factors make it difficult for returning migrants to fit.

3. What changed among the immigrants/overseas workers when they went back
(or
visited) home?

Return migrants tap into the new skills they've acquired abroad – like fluent
English – to promote local economic development, creating jobs, increasing
wealth and demanding more government accountability.

3. How can I IMPROVE at doing all aspects of this?

Pay more attention in class Avoid the daydreaming and focus on what’s
happening in the class. Many teachers give hints on the topics that they want
to include in their quizzes and exams. Also, you will be able to understand the
concept being taught instead of going home and struggling to understand the
given material.
