Globalization refers to increasing interconnectedness between nations through economic, political, and cultural connections that reduce the importance of distance and borders. It has significant impacts on issues like trade and employment. Studying globalization from an interdisciplinary approach that considers its social, economic, political, and cultural dimensions provides the most comprehensive understanding. Exercising sociological imagination helps make sense of global issues by viewing problems in the broader context of social structures rather than from a narrow perspective. The key difference between a state and a nation is that a state is a politically governed territory with defined borders and citizens, while a nation is a cultural group that can encompass multiple states through shared heritage and social relations.

Lopez, Unice G.
Contemporary World BSECE 2-1 Mr. Louie C. Montemar Self-Test #1 1. What is Globalization and how does it occur subjectively?
Globalization refers to the interconnection of nations to other nations,
strengthening the countries' brotherhood and making the meaning of sovereignty from barriers as blocking outsiders into improving cross-border relationships. It pushed the distance, different languages, and geographic boundaries not a problem in intensifying man's relationship. These forms of connections that were built through globalization are maybe economic, political, or cultural. It embarks a significant impact on trade and employment as there are expansion and stretching of social relations. As a communication major, telephones were made for business or the economy. Thus, scholars made more advanced technologies to improve human communication. These are how globalization reshaped our concept of time and space, especially if I could live during the significant globalization steps. Lastly, it occurs subjectively in that it makes the people more aware of the world we are living in. It makes us better citizens as we are in a network of different social connectivity forms that shape our perception of the globe.
2. Why should we use the interdisciplinary approach in studying Globalization?
Using an interdisciplinary approach in studying globalization is the most appropriate one. A scholar with his paper on a specific topic can only focus on a subject. In other words, maybe he cannot see the whole picture because of their parochial perspective. With an interdisciplinary approach, we could see the bigger picture or the most accurate one or study the entire globalization process itself. We can also accurately understand the social, economic, political, and cultural processes that shape itself. 3. Why do we need to exercise our sociological imagination to make sense of the contemporary world? Sociological imagination is the ability to see the social patterns that influence each part of the community. Understanding the problems in light of the greater context of social structures is what Mr. C Wright Mills argues. By exercising sociological imagination to understand social issues, we can look at them in a broader society without being parochial. And not being narrow-minded, we can stretch the limits of our imagination until to the point of understanding a problem. With this widening of our imagination in studying or understanding the networked system of relations in globalization, it is essential to look in the bigger picture to trace the interlocked webs and analyze the personal problems that are consequences of more significant issues. 4. Explain the difference between the State and The Nation.
The State in political science means a piece of land governed politically. It is
measurable or quantifiable, such as citizens are numbered, territories have borders, and it defines as a country. It is a community with people permanently occupying the patch of land having a government that acts as the authority to maintain peace and order while enjoying freedom from external control. On the other hand, a nation is a group of people who share a common cultural heritage. In political terms, a nation is a group of states or countries that builds social relations which can empower the countries underneath.
