COMMUNICATION AND GLOBALIZATION Prepared by CHARMAINE A. SABIO, MAEd Objectives  Identify the challenges of Globalization.  Understand the importance of communication in Globalization.  Write a reaction paper on communication challenges in a global atmosphere and methods for effective and ethical communication.  Globalization is the communication and assimilation among individuals, ethnicities, races, institutions, governments of various nations supported by technology and compelled by international trade.  Due to globalization, the more you become exposed to diversity – the valuing of the uniqueness or differences in gender preference, color, age, religious affiliation, ethnicity, education, social and economic status and political beliefs.  Globalization is not a new process or concept. Years before that advent of technology, people had been purchasing and selling each other properties, goods and other objects of certain value. In addition--- Globalization is the process by which people and goods move easily across borders (Gray, 2017) * is an economic concept – the integration of markets, trade and investments with few barriers to slow the flow of products and services between nations Globalization requires the development of a person’s language ability. The ability to use language accurately and appropriately is a requirement of a globalizing society. People should acquire knowledge and skills that account for “global communication competence.” It is only through global communication competence that people from different cultures are able to communicate effectively and productively. What is global communication competence?  Cooley and Roach (1984) defined communication competence as the knowledge of effective and appropriate communication patterns and the ability to use and adapt that knowledge to various contexts Knowledge, Ability to use knowledge and ability to adapt knowledge to various contexts Knowledge – knowing how to do something and understanding why things are done the way they are (Hargie, 2011) Ability to use – - accounts differences in intellectual ability o There are factors that help or hinder individuals when they try to apply the knowledge they have learned to actual communication behaviors. Ability to adapt knowledge to various contexts --what is competent or not varies based on social and cultural contexts, which makes it impossible to have only one standard for what counts as communication competence (Cooley & Roach, 1984). --- Status, power, race, and nationality are social variables that affect competence  Communication has since been increasingly global, blurring national boundaries. The ability to communicate effectively in a global setting can be a challenge. Hence, to effectively communicate in a global context, a general understanding of the differences in conducting communication from one country to another or from one culture to another helps avoid miscommunication.  People’s background and experiences influence their view of the world and the values, beliefs and behavior patterns assumed to be good. The following are the possible cultural barriers to effective communication in a global environment.  1. Cultural Relativism  2. Lack of knowledge of others’ culture  3. Discrimination and harassment  4. Language differences  The goal of effective global communication is to achieve communication that gets the desired response leading to harmonious connections. Krizan (2014) suggests these strategies to become effective global communicator: 1. Review communication principles. 2. Analyze the message received. 3. Be open in accepting other cultures. 4. Learn about cultures and apply what is learned. 5. Consider language needs. THE NATIONAL COMMUNICATION ASSOCIATION (NCA) has identified what students should do to become globally competent communicators.  1. State ideas clearly.  2. Communicate ethically.  3. Recognize when it is appropriate to communicate.  4. Identify communication goals.  5. Select the most appropriate and effective medium for communicating.  6. Demonstrate credibility.  7. Identify and manage misunderstandings.  8. Manage conflict.  9. Be open-minded about another’s point of view  10. Listen attentively. Activity:  Based on the discussion on communication and globalization, create a two-minute informative video focusing on the following:  A. Characteristics of globalization  B. Advantages of globalization  C. Effects of globalization in language use and communication. INTROSPECTING In this lesson on Communication and Globalization, I learned that to be a global communicator, I __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________
