different activities presented? Have you enjoyed it? Have you learned new inputs that
will aid you with our new lesson today?

Our new lesson today will take you to another dimension of Trends, Network,
and Critical Thinking in the 21st Century. It can help you to determine the concepts
and effects of globalization to one’s daily life. It also demonstrates and explains the
benefits of collaboration and cooperation. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be
changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

What’s New

Direction: Think of a word/s that is best associated with the word

“GLOBALIZATION”. Write your answer on your answer sheet.

Globalization

4
 What is It

GLOBALIZATION
The speedup of movements and exchanges of citizenry, goods, and
services, capital, technologies or cultural practices, everywhere in the world. One
of the effects of globalization is that it promotes and increases interactions
between different regions and populations around the globe. It aims to
standardized income distribution through its economic integration schemes. It
shows that globalization have advantages and drawbacks.

Examples of Globalization

Globalization includes a much wider field than just flowing of goods, services or
capital. Often referred to as the globalization concept map, some examples of
globalization are:

a. Economic globalization is the development of trade systems within

transnational actors such as corporations or NGOs;
b. Financial globalization can be linked with the rise of a global financial
system with international financial exchanges and monetary exchanges.
c. Cultural globalization refers to the interpenetration of cultures which, as a
consequence, means nations adopt principles, beliefs, and costumes of other
nations, losing their unique culture to a unique, and globalized supra-culture.
d. Political globalization is the development and growing influence of
international organizations such WHO which means governmental action
takes place at an international level.
e. Sociological globalization is information moves almost in real-time, together
with the interconnection and interdependence of events and their
consequences.
f. Technological globalization is the phenomenon by which millions of people
are interconnected thanks to the power of the digital world via platforms such
as Facebook, Instagram, Skype or Youtube.
g. Geographic globalization is the new organization and hierarchy of different
regions of the world that is constantly changing.
h. Ecological globalization is an account for the idea of considering planet
Earth as a single global entity – a common good all societies should protect
since the weather affects everyone and we are all protected by the same
atmosphere.

5
EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION

The effects were widely seen in every economy because of the borderless concept
of globalization such as:

1. We are enjoying imported products and the best services from foreign
companies. And those products are extremely helpful for every task we used
to do.
2. Knowledge became easily shared by the brightest minds through the internet.
3. Technologies become an aid in communication, transportation, education,
and finance.
This means that economic globalization contributes a lot to everyday life of an
individual or group of people. In spite of its good effects, globalization has also bad
effects that hinder equality among people. The consequences of globalization in
economic are also visible, especially in the gap between poor and rich and it is an
advantage to those developed countries that manipulated regulation in global trade.

Collaboration and Cooperation

An illustration below shows the difference of collaboration and cooperation.

Cooperation is a two people carrying their own “similar” baskets to a common

destination for mutually beneficial individual gain, increasing impact, volume and
leverage. Meanwhile, Collaboration is a two people carrying their two baskets (or
maybe even more and often very different) by sharing the load between them, to a
shared destination for the mutual benefit of the individuals, collective and entity. For
a more in depth and pragmatic treatment of the two concepts, including when each
is best suited for use, keep reading.

Cooperation

 more or less active assistance or willingness to assist;

 collective exertion of force, power, or influence; agency. Requires Co-alliance;
 an act or instance of working or acting together for a common purpose or
benefit; joint operation or action;
 the combination of persons partaking in activities for purposes of a
particular process, course or procedure of productive or industrial activity
shared for their joint or mutual benefit.

Collaboration

 to work, usually willingly, with an enemy.

 to work with another or others on a joint project, as in Coalition.
 structured methods of collaboration encourages introspection of behaviour
and communication
 to working with others to do a task, and to achieve shared purpose. It is a
recursive process where two or more people or organizations work together to
realize shared goals, (this is more than the intersection of common goals seen
in co-operation.

LABOR AND MIGRATION

Labor is the quantity of physical, mental, and social effort castoff to create
goods and services in an economy. It provides the expertise, manpower, and
service needed to generate raw resources into finished stuffs and services.

Labor is measured through the means of labor force or labor pool. To be

considered part of the labor force, one must be legible, willing to work, and are
on the right age to do so because there are some who are not ready to work
however, turn themselves in working just to provide for their families.

Types of Labor
1. The Unskilled- This job does not require intensive training because it is
more on skills or manual labors such as farm workers, it can also be service
work, such as janitorial or others.
2. The Skilled- This kind of labor requires some educational degree or training. An
example is manufacturing jobs.
3. Part-time Labor- It is categorized by the nature of the relationship with the
employer. This means they are managed or supervised by a boss. They also
receive a set weekly or bi-weekly wage or depending on the number of hours
of service and it equivalent amount.
4. Contract Labor -It is when a contract stipulates the work to be done. It’s up to
the worker to define and identify on how his/her works gets done. The
amount paid is either contract or a set fee for the work. Benefits are not
included.
5. Slave Labor- It is an illegal employment. It happens when the worker is forced to
work without consent or against their will.
6. Professional Labor- These are referred to individuals with highest level of
knowledge-based education and managerial skills. These people have usually
invested the most of their careers and make the highest wage earners.

Migration
Ever since, people have been on the move in search of jobs or economic
opportunities, to join family, or to study. Some people have to move to run
away conflict, harassment, terrorism, or human rights violations. Still others
have to move in response to the opposing effects of climate change, natural
disasters, or other environmental factors such job related and social status.
Migration as it stands has been one of the causes of the said mean.

15
Types of Migration
1. Permanent Migration- It refers when someone moves from one place to another
and has no intention to return to their original place.
2. Temporary Migration- It is limited by time. This happens because of work related
or this could be for seasonal employment.
3. Forced Migration- It involves the migrant having no choice but to move. Some of
the examples are refugees migrating due to conflicts or disasters such as
earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, typhoons or wars.

Indeed, globalization has brought a great impact both in labor and migration
due to its powerful force which caused a change in the world today affecting all people
in societies.

 What is It

CHALLENGES FACED BY MIGRANT WORKERS

Migrant workers come to the different parts of the world in search of jobs,
usually in farming or domestic work. They face challenges that are not present for
native workers. Many of them do not have the required paperwork to stay in the
country legally, so they face the constant threat of deportation.

1. Coercion

Undocumented migrant workers may not be willing to report a workplace

injury because they are afraid of being reported to immigration authorities or losing
their jobs and not being able to find another employer willing to take them on.

2. Lack of Benefits

Because they are often paid in cash off the books, migrant workers are not
eligible for company benefits such as pensions and insurance plans. They also miss
out on unemployment, disability and Social Security benefits from the government.
Breaks, overtime, sick pay and minimum wage laws may not be followed because
there is no recourse for the worker.

3. Dangerous Conditions

Workers may be housed in unsanitary conditions, which are especially

dangerous for children. If the company provides food for its employees, it is often low
quality and not very nutritious. Migrant workers are also subject to harsh conditions
on the job, such as working in extreme weather for long hours with no breaks.

4. Cultural Differences

Cultural differences present problems for migrant workers even when they are
away from the job site. Local residents may discriminate or resent migrant workers
for taking the available jobs in the area. Migrant workers are often isolated from their
neighbors because they do not speak the language and shop mostly at ethnic stores.
The language barrier can also make it difficult to understand legal documents such
as leases and tax forms.

5. Educational Issues

Children of migrant workers often miss school and fall behind their peers
because they have to work along with the rest of the family. Child labor laws are
typically not enforced among the migrant population, so there is no protection for
the children. Even when the child does not perform any actual work, he may spend
