No. 2 Be able to distinguish the concepts involved in globalization. No. 3 Be able to apply the knowledge gained knowledge in a real-life situation. What is Globalization? The term globalization derives from the word "global," which comes from the Latin word "globus", meaning "round mass" or "sphere." The suffix "- ization" indicates the process or act of making something a particular way. So, "globalization" refers to the process of making something worldwide or global in scope.  Globalization Globalization refers to the process by which businesses, technologies, ideas, and cultures spread around the world, creating greater interconnectedness and interdependence among nations and regions.  Most Globalized Country Globalization Index - top 50 countries 2023 In the 2023 edition of the globalization index, Switzerland had the highest index score at 90.75. Belgium followed behind, with the Netherlands in third.  Most Globalized Country The Philippines rose four spots to 74th out of 196 countries in the Globalization Index by KOF Swiss Economic Institute. In a scale of 1 (least globalized) to 100 (most globalized), the country scored 65.31. The Pioneer of Globalization Marco Polo (1254–1324) The Venetian explorer is renowned for his travels through Asia and his detailed accounts of the cultures and economies he encountered. His writings introduced Europe to a wealth of knowledge about the East, facilitating trade and cultural exchange. The Founder of Globalization Theodore Levitt Theodore Levitt is often credited with popularizing the term and bringing it into the mainstream business audience in the later in the middle of 1980s. Pros and Cons of Globalization Pros and Cons Pros of Globalization: Economic Growth: Globalization has led to increased international trade, foreign investments, and the growth of economies, especially in developing countries. Access to Technology and Innovation: Global sharing of innovations and technologies. Cultural Exchange: Promotes understanding and cooperation between different cultures. Job Creation: The expansion of multinational corporations creates jobs in many developing economies. Pros and Cons Cons of Globalization: Inequality: Globalization can widen the gap between rich and poor, as wealth and power often accumulate in certain regions or among specific groups. Exploitation: Labor in developing countries can be exploited, with workers facing poor conditions and low wages. Loss of Cultural Identity: The dominance of certain cultures (often Western) can dilute or erase local traditions and languages. Environmental Impact: Increased production, consumption, and transportation contribute to pollution and resource depletion. The Society involved in GLOBALIZATION GOVERNMENT and its 3 Main Branches EXECUTIVE This branch is responsible for enforcing the laws of the country. It is headed by the President (or equivalent title) and includes the various departments and agencies that administer government policies and programs. LEGISLATIVE The legislative branch comprises the Senate and the House of Representatives. Members of these bodies draft, debate, and vote on bills that can become laws. JUDICIARY This branch is responsible for interpreting the laws and ensuring they are applied fairly. It includes the court system, headed by the Supreme Court (or equivalent highest court), along with lower federal and state courts. RULING: DEMOCRACY Direct Democracy In a direct democracy, citizens participate directly in decision-making processes. This can involve voting on specific policies or laws rather than through elected representatives. Direct democracy is more feasible on a small scale, such as in local communities or organizations. Parliamentary Democracy Parliamentary democracy is a form of representative democracy where the government is elected by the legislature (parliament), and the executive branch derives its legitimacy from and is accountable to the legislature. In a parliamentary democracy, voters elect members of parliament (MPs) through general elections. The political party or coalition with a majority of seats in the parliament forms the government, and its leader usually becomes the prime minister or head of government. Presidential Democracy In this system, the government consists of separate executive (president) and legislative (parliament or congress) branches. The president is elected independently of the legislature and serves as both head of state and head of government. Liberal Democracy Liberal democracies are characterized by the protection of individual rights and freedoms, rule of law, and a system of checks and balances. They typically feature competitive elections, separation of powers, and constitutional limits on government. Social Democracy Social democracy combines elements of representative democracy with a strong welfare state. It aims to achieve social and economic equality through state intervention in the economy and a commitment to social policies. THE SUFFRAGE SUFFRAGE "Suffrage" refers to the right to vote in political elections. It is a fundamental civil right in democratic societies, enabling eligible citizens to participate in choosing representatives and influencing the direction of government policies. SOVEREIGNTY SOVEREIGNTY "Sovereignty" refers to the ultimate and exclusive power or authority that a state or governing body possesses over itself and its territories. It is the supreme authority to govern without interference from external powers. SOCIAL THEORIES  Methodological Individualism This view states that collective concepts such as groups, associations, and societies do not exist, but only individual members. - Max Weber Sociological Realism Sociological realism states that society is a reality sui generis and cannot be reduced to individual aggregates or parts. - Emile Durkheim IT IS SOCIETY WHEN PEOPLE ARE WORKING TOGETHER. SOCIETIES EXTERNAL CONSTRAINTS -Emile Durkheim ANOMIE It is a situation wherein a society lacks social regulation through social norms. Example: Deviant Behavior : Some individuals might resort to deviant behaviors in an attempt to achieve their goals. This could involve engaging in criminal activities, exploiting others, or bending the rules to get ahead.  ACCORDING TO EMILE DURKHEIM "If a group or society has a strong social solidarity or sense of belongingness, the individual is most likely to attach herself/himself to society."  5 UNITS OF SOCIETY FAMILY STATE/GOVERNMENT ECONOMY EDUCATION RELIGION STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM Structural functionalism is a sociological perspective that views society as a complex system of interrelated structures with distinct functions. It emphasizes social order, stability, and equilibrium, but it has been criticized for downplaying issues of inequality and conflict within societies. 5 UNITS OF SOCIETY FAMILY: Family is the basic unit of society. It forms community. Many communities form a nation. 5 UNITS OF SOCIETY STATE/GOVERNMENT: Government bodies and institutions provide governance, uphold laws, and offer public services. They play a role in maintaining order, resolving conflicts, and providing a framework for societal functioning. 5 UNITS OF SOCIETY ECONOMY: These encompass the complex network of businesses, industries, markets, and financial institutions that facilitate the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. 5 UNITS OF SOCIETY EDUCATION: These units play a crucial role in transmitting knowledge, skills, and values to younger generations. They also contribute to socialization and personal development. 5 UNITS OF SOCIETY RELIGION: Religious groups provide spiritual guidance, moral values, and a sense of purpose for many individuals. They also often engage in charitable and community- building activities.  ESSENTIAL QUESTION QUESTION: Is it really necessary for us to get along with globalization? Thank You For Your Attention  PREPARED BY: MR.
