    Cultural Diversity

    • The Philippines is home to a diverse array of ethno-linguistic groups. Each possesses unique traditions, languages, and customs.
    • Over 180 languages and a rich tapestry of cultural practices contribute to Filipino identity's complexity.

    Geographical Influences

    • The Philippines’ Southeast Asian location, archipelagic nature (over 7,000 islands), and exposure to trade routes influenced interactions with neighboring countries and cultures.

    Political and Socio-economic Factors

    • Socio-economic disparities, political instability, and issues like corruption and poverty influence Filipino identity.

    Globalization and Modernization

    • Exposure to global trends and influences, paired with modernization, resulted in shifting traditional values and norms. This impacts evolving Filipino identity.

    Development of Philippine Contemporary Society

    • Philippine development is shaped by significant historical events.
      • Philippine Revolution (1896-1898): A crucial turning point against Spanish rule, led by leaders like Bonifacio and Aguinaldo. This led to the declaration of independence in 1898.
      • American Colonization (1898-1946): Following the Spanish-American War, the Philippines came under American rule. Colonialism brought changes like democratic institutions, public education, and English language.
      • World War II and Japanese Occupation (1941-1945): The Philippines was a major WWII theater, invaded and occupied by Japanese forces (1942-1945). Significant wartime destruction, atrocities (like the Bataan Death March), and Filipino resistance movements defined this period.
      • Martial Law under Ferdinand Marcos (1972-1986): Marcos declared Martial Law, establishing authoritarian rule known for political repression, censorship, and human rights abuses. His eventual ouster through the 1986 People Power Revolution restored democracy.
      • People Power Revolutions (1986, 2001): The 1986 People Power Revolution, also known as the EDSA Revolution, brought down the Marcos dictatorship, restoring democracy.

    Globalization

    • Cultural exchanges, technology, and shared problems play crucial roles in this interconnectedness.

    Forms of Globalization

    • Economic Globalization: The growing integration and interdependence of national economies worldwide, including cross-border trade, capital flow, technology spread, and labor movement.

    • Political Globalization: Increasing interconnectedness of political systems and the influence of international actors, institutions, and processes on national and global politics. (e.g., the United Nations).
    • Technological Globalization: The spread and use of technology across international borders, creating both greater connection and a need for new technology (e.g., social media).
    • Environmental Globalization: Interconnectedness of environmental issues on a global scale, emphasizing the need for international cooperation to address them. (e.g., electric vehicles).

    Global Economy

    • World-System Theory (Wallerstein): Colonization is viewed not simply as a colonizer controlling a colony, but rather as a complex interaction within a larger system (global economy). The world economy is divided into a core, periphery, and semi-periphery based on economic power.

    Actors that Facilitate Economic Globalization

    • International Monetary Fund (IMF): An organization that aims to maintain economic stability and growth globally by offering loans, advice, and support to countries facing economic issues.

    • Indicators of Market Integration: Prices and goods moving proportionally within a region.
    • Types of Market Integration: Horizontal integration (firms performing similar functions), vertical integration (firms performing multiple stages of production), and Conglomeration (combining unrelated agencies under unified management). Subtypes of vertical integration include forward and backward integration.

    • Principle 7: Governments can sometimes improve market outcomes: Governments intervene when markets fail (e.g., fairness, efficiency).
    • Principle 8: A country's standard of living depends on its ability to produce goods and services: A productive economy leads to a higher standard of living.
