Activity I: The World Made


Closer

We discussed the
different definitions of
globalization. In this global
we live in, globalization
gained various views from
many authors and scholars.
In turn, these diverse
definitions can affect how
one can appreciate
globalization as a process.
Furthermore, we analyzed
globalization through
conceptual metaphors such
as solids, liquids, and flows.
In this activity, you
are to see the actual
application of globalization
on the different aspects of
daily life such as politics,
music, sports, film, celebrity,
and disaster.

1. Answer the
following
questions:
a. Enumerate
at least
three of the
most recent
songs you
have
listened.
Where did
they
originate?
Identify the
nationality
of the writer
and/or artist
for each
music.

b. What
gadgets or
devices do
you usually
use to listen
to music?

c. Where were
these gadgets or
devices made?
Where is the
company
based?

d. How did you


access these
music? Did you
purchase them
online or listen to

A final challenge pertains to differing visions of what regionalism should be for.


Western governments may see-regional organizations not simply as economic formations but
also as instruments of political democratization. Non-Western and developing societies,
however, may have a different view regarding globalization, development, and democracy.
Singapore, China, and Russia see democracy as an obstacle to the implementation and
deepening of economic globalization because constant public inquiry about economic projects
and lengthy debate slow down implementation or lead to unclear outcomes. Democracy’s
tedious procedures must, therefore, give way to efficiency.

Activity 2:
Choose an Asian
country to research.
Compare your regions
changes with those of the
other groups. Pinpoint the
similarities and differences.
Write the answer/s in a clean
short bond paper.
